How much I spend per day in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam?

[@narosie9855]

As a foreigner I can live the same standard of living way under this budget. :D Here's my breakdown: 1) Stay in a 2 room apartment in a more localized district ($400) 2) Use grab instead of taxi 3) Join a local gym near my area that isn't run by big brands ($30 a month) 4) Street food com tam is just as delicious, or perhaps, even more so ($1.50 per portion) 5) Grocery shop in the local market instead, lots of hidden treasures ($50 a week)

[@tornadobrick6217]

Great video, though people shouldn't take this as an average breakdown of living costs in HCMC. Van spends much more than even most expats would spend, and you can still live very comfortably in the city on less than $1000 a month. Many locals there live off less than $200 a month. Prices vary wildly depending on the places you decide to eat and hang-out, and where you rent.

[@pinang1]

I was thinking the same. Those costs here aare for people that want a certain lifestyle that is not cheap. If you're an average person you can live comforatbly for half of that easily. I think it would be worth to make a video with healthcare costs and luxury (e.g. cars) purchases for people to realise you save on something but then you spend more or other things.

Tbh, living in HCMC alone, eating out is cheaper than cooking. Your Dinner was $4 while your lunch (dining out) was only $2. I lived in HCMC for 3 years and only spent no more than $5 daily for food (100% Dining out) while still maintaining my weight healthy.

[@dongshengdi773]

Totally agree. Same in most Asian countries. Cheaper to eat out than cooking for yourself since the ingredients are expensive for one meal. It will be cheaper if you cook for an entire family. Only Cambodia is more expensive to eat out

[@vetiarvind]

Helpful video. As an Indian in Bangkok I wanted to say that it's not really cheap by my home country's standards but on par with Thailand. The prices for utilities, internet, gym, food are almost 1-1 with what you get in Bangkok in terms of USD, which is kind of surprising as I expected Vietnam to be a bit cheaper than Thailand due to the slight difference in average salaries. I suppose that your lifestyle is somewhat on the upper middle class gradient even by VN standards and the average Vietnamese person lives on way less.

[@Airbone]

Hello, I'm a Vietnamese. I'll tell you that the easiest way for a Westerner to get a job enough to live a decent life (or at least avoid running out of savings too quickly while living a luxurious life like the one in the video) is to be a native English teacher. It will take you a few months to get a teacher's license, then you can apply to any English center to teach. Salary varies depending on where you are from, and perhaps the color of your skin (I'll talk more about that below), teaching experience really doesn't matter... (which is pretty sad for those of who's the teacher...but that's how things are going). You will get 1500-2000 dollars per month easily. (For easy visualization, an IT student in Vietnam, after graduating from school after 4 years of study and working for >5 years, will receive that salary...).

[@Airbone]

P/s: About racism, especially with black skin. Don't worry, in Vietnam I'm sure no one will speak ill of you, glance at you, or avoid you because you have dark skin. It's just that Vietnam has its own problems of misconceptions about black people. It would take hours to say it out, but here I am taking English as an example. Vietnamese people often think of "native" English as Americans or British, then other Western countries (and western = white). That's why they prefer to learn native English from white people rather than black people (which we always thought were from Africa...though not...ofc). As an individual, I sincerely and deeply apologize to black people. Hopefully in the future, unnecessary misunderstandings will be cleared. But for now, that's how things go...

[@stevefrench7036]

Thanks for the info! I'm in the process of becoming a full fledged English teacher in Vn (though l'm not in the country at the moment because of administrative issues...) Anyway, I'm not 'native' per say (I learned English and went to school in the US as a child so l'm "mostly native") but I've got a TEFL and managed to "teach" on a website that requires being native without any problems, so I'm sure if l can get a face-to-face interview I can make the cut. That being said getting experience is more important in this case l think (not being native and having a degree - though l've heard teachers are in such high demands post-covid that it can be worth to try); so my way in is by volunteering, which is very rewarding in a different way. There's much to be done and I really want to provide quality teaching in the future! I hope it's doable, though probably won't have a high-end job at first, and MOST DEFINITELY not Van's lifestyle haha (I learned English and went to school in the US as a child so l'm "mostly native").

Also I recommend all foreigners to legalize the documents.

Vietnamese local food is cheap, but it's cheap for a reason. The ingredients are fairly low quality. They aren't kept in the most clean conditions.

It's fine to eat now and again, but eat out locally 3x a day and you will start to feel it. Eat well in Vietnam and it will cost you just like everywhere else.

I'm a 23 yr old uni student from the Philippines and when I went to Vietnam on a spontaneous 10-day trip during my semestral break 2 months ago, I instantly fell in love with the country and even made some friends while I was there. Being southeast asian myself and taking up south east asian studies at uni helped in resonating with the people and culture I encountered in Vietnam, which despite being foreign to me somehow felt familiar/reminded me of home. Travelling our region has given me a newfound appreciation for our regional identity. I'd like to believe that we in fact are one and the same beyond being co-members of ASEAN. Anyway, I really was just gonna ask for recos in Hanoi LMAO (preferably with a younger and more local crowd) since I'll be visiting again next year but it has turned into this sappy love letter to Vietnam and the SEA community hahaha! On a side note, I've connected socials with the friends I made in vietnam and they're already inviting me back to celebrate tet with them on January. I'll spend a couple of days in Hanoi before I fly to Hoi An where I'll be staying for 2 weeks to meet up with my friends and also to explore more of Central Vietnam. I can't wait to go back (and to eat Cao Lau again)! 😆♥️

Nice to see a detailed breakdown like this, thanks. From my experience, you can get much cheaper apartments of very similar quality by looking at smaller buildings not owned by big companies like Vinhomes etc. $1000 seems v. expensive to me, but I haven't been in VN since pre-pandemic so maybe the price has risen a lot. I used to spend about $1000 on everything including rent. Anyway, good to see what a more luxury lifestyle costs in 2022!

Why would one go out and buy food and cook for a dinner that is $4 and have a bowl of oats in the AM for $3 when a huge plate of broken rice with all the fixins is $2? Does not make sense economically nor gastronomically. You're better off eating out and save money. $65 for gym fees? Wow. That is so much higher than most gyms in US.
