I first checked the $300 video.... after being horrified by the ugly apartment (not to mention the bathroom) I switched to the $600 one... Still horrified. Why would I want to be rich to live like that?
Maybe I am a bit picky about HOME and not that much about food, etc... donno. Is there any other videos for living a "rich" life on a budget there or something?
No idea. Like I said, living would be 3k per month not 300. When you start looking at higher costs it is more stuff catering to foreigners so the price can go up quickly.
My friend has a house with a pool and he figures 2k is enough.
Oh ok, then it isn't much cheaper than living in my country. Maybe it isn't even cheaper.
I supposse it looks cheap in comparison to living well in USA which, yes, it is really expensive and nice houses/apartments in premiun places are still incredibly overpriced. Salaries are also WAY higher so I guess it is ok.
I've been living 50% of each year in SE Asia since 2001. Costs have gone up and in some places like Bali, a lot. Currently I rent a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom house across from the beach in Vietnam for $350 a month (exclusive of electric). It's not as nice as my house in Canada but its clean and safe with the added perks of weather and cheap food. The largest benefit to living there is the fact that I become way more active outside the house which would have been spent hibernating indoors had I stayed in the cold. I figure it costs me about 30% less to be in Vietnam than Canada for the winter. I buy what I want and typically never need to spend more than $2000 CAD in a month.
) result of better handling of the mempool priorities and fees.
Lightning network consideration ?
