Cheapest Place To Live... & Be Rich

vietnam lowest cost of living in general

[chessboxin]

I feel like Manila is cheap, as long you as you do not try to live like an effin expat or a seaman.

14K can already get you a decent condo unit good for 2 people as long as you avoid Makati, BGC or Ortigas. Electricity is probably 2-3K. Food, how much can you eat anyway? Just buy at a clean carinderia or cook your own. Avoid grab and takeouts.

Entertainment is almost free these days courtesy of the internet, unlike before.

problem with that @chessboxin is not accommodating your work. 14k for condo, sure, pero commute ka everyday to work ba, or wfh? commute is P2k if you're trying to do bus and lrt lang. more expensive if car. this'll suck if salary mo is around P40k, kasi nearly 50% na going to rent & commute. less to save, kasi the next amount is groceries

and if you try to save on commute by staying at home all day, is that really life hahaha
