Vancouver is a beautiful city. Not many places in the world can top Vancouver's natural beauty. But it's like you said, the cost of living there is insane. And we tend to get stuck in this never ending rat race. The rat race and gentrification only accelerated when Tech became more prominent in the 2010s. Of course, Vancouver was always expensive in the past, thanks to foreign real estate buyers, but now the rents have gone up drastically thanks to tech.

[@dacdo2956]

Not sure if you've thoroughly looked into the salary-to-cost-of-living ratio in Vietnam, and the real estate situation and not just seeing things through rose-tinted glasses. For most locals, wages barely cover a decent rent, let alone saving up to buy a place. Property prices in Vietnam are crazier than Vancouver’s when you factor in how much people actually earn here. Especially in the big cities, the majority of young people can only afford apartments in massive, crowded complexes. Wages are just so out of sync with property prices, making homeownership feel almost impossible. The only reason a lot of us manage is because houses are often passed down through the family, kind of our safety net. Parents also help out financially when they can and continue supporting their children in exchange for care as they age. As a foreigner, you’ll definitely have some advantages at first, in how people treat you and how you're paid. You’ll probably love the friendliness and how welcoming everything feels, enjoy that honeymoon phase. But trust me, reality kicks in after a while. Still, if you’re ready to take the leap, it’ll definitely be an otherworldly learning experience. Good luck!

If you’re thinking about moving there, I would encourage you to carefully consider your decision. Traveling is one thing, but living there is a different story. Don’t forget, you also have your parents who care deeply about you. It’s important to think about their feelings and all the sacrifices they’ve made for you.

Get yourself a career and move to Texas instead of Vietnam, warmer climate, cost of living is a lot lower than California or Toronto or Vancouver.

​@@jtnguyen8105 may I ask how much are property taxes in Texas and Vietnam for a $250,000 home?

[@david94134]

Not true, Texas is hot and humid (like Vietnam), Houston is flooded every other year (Kinda like Vietnam), a 250K property tax is more than a 500K tax here in California, plus 100K+ jobs are not easy to find in Texas.

[@PlayUntilWin]

Another misconception about the Houston area is that there are not many $100k jobs available. In reality, there are plenty of such positions as long as you are qualified for them. If you are in the medical field, Houston is an excellent choice, as it is known as the medical center of the U.S. Austin has become the tech hub, while Dallas serves as the center for oil and finance. Although property taxes may be high, there is no state income tax, and car registration and road taxes are among the lowest in the nation. So you will be able to save more and your dollar stretch a lot further. Most people in California is house poor and had to rent out their houses to strangers to be able to afford the mortgage. The weather in Houston consists of six months of hot, humid conditions, followed by a cooler, more pleasant period. Hurricanes may touch down in the Houston area approximately once every 8 to 9 years, and it is relatively easy to evacuate in advance, unlike in California, where earthquakes can strike without warning and the yearly wild fires. Additionally, Texas does not experience snowstorms like many other states.

Owning a home isn’t just expensive to buy, it’s expensive to maintain too. Property taxes, things break, HOA, insurance, etc. I own a home so I know the headaches even when you pay off your house, it’s still a headache because things break often and if you’re not handy, you’re going to have to pay to fix things. Rather than buying a house for 500-800k, you can save that and live comfortably off the interest in Vietnam.

Im planning on moving back too, Canada is crumbling as a society anyway.

Good luck on your move, Peter. You must be in VN by now. My suggestion is to live in Danang, Nha Trang or Dalat where the air quality is better. There are lots of expats in Danang (don't know if there are many Viet Kieu). The air in Saigon seemed to be really bad for your lungs. You also didn't have a balcony & maybe your flat had mold or filter of the A/C wasn't clean. I hope you find what you're looking for. Take care & safe travels.

As a Hanoian living in Toronto rn, I would suggest you come to live in HCM which is less pollution, people are more open and nicer than HN's

vietnam has a booming economy. You would probably find better opportunities there than in Canada. It's just like China before it joins the WTO in 2001
