Will I save money living in Vietnam?

We asked expats if they save money living in Vietnam. They said...

"Yes, living in Vietnam is generally much less expensive than living in the United States. The cost of everyday items like housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and entertainment is much lower in Vietnam than in the United States. Additionally, the cost of living in Vietnam is much lower, with the average person being able to live very comfortably on a fraction of the cost of living in the United States," remarked another expat in Vietnam.

"Exceeded them. I live on half of my retirement income and I live very well. It is possible for a married couple to live well on $1,200 per month," said a member in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
