Savings, budgeting and black tax while living abroad |South African in Taiwan | ESL teacher

Very important topic. Its important that as an individual you develop a sense of direction, who are you living for, people or yourself?

[@sthandilengcobo]

Exactly! And the very same people wouldn't bail you out if you go bankrupt.

The converting statement kinda lost me? What was the reason for it not matching the target even though you had converted before starting? Please unpack, lol I'm confused

[@sthandilengcobo]

Exchange rate changes all the time. So when I calculated at the beginning it was completely different. I saved in my Taiwan account so when I converted 7 months later it was different.

[@bongekaharris9900]

@sthandilengcobo ooooh now I understand... ooooh so would you advice saving in SA/ home country banks?

[@sthandilengcobo]

I still don't know how to tackle this one myself. I think wait for exchange rate to look better then send the money. That's my plan

Hey Stha, only discovered your Chanel today and I've subscribed. I'm currently teaching in a public school in South Africa and I've been contemplating moving abroad as well to teach. My question is would it be possible for me to move there with my son? Are there any day care centers for foreigners in Taiwan? I feel quite uneasy about leaving him here

[@sthandilengcobo]

Thank you for subscribing 💃🏾. Yes it's possible to move with your son, there are kindergartens it depends on how old he is. Finding one that teaches in English may be expensive though. Search Lesedi Konyana here on KZbin. She posted a video on bringing kids to Taiwan
