How Much Is RICH In Vietnam? Let's Ask Vietnamese!

Grandma said if you have your health you’re rich!

These interviews are rock solid. People want to hear from the locals.

The girl studying masters and living with 200$ is so cute 🤩

I was born in Saigon in 1974. I’ve never been back, but i have family there. I would love to retire there.

Great snapshot of Vietnam, thank you. I agree that Vietnam is an open secret to many Europeans as one of the best places to visit or to retire. They will be the next Asian Silicon Valley. Vietnamese are smart, beautiful, and tenacious. I'm a Vietnamese American and U.S. Army vet married to my Vietnamese wife who immigrated to the U.S. in 1974. We've been back and forth to Vietnam since 1992, helping her families and have seen how fast the economy has grown. We'd built a large retirement home and acquired lands in 1999-2000. Thanks to our early land, Bitcoin, and stock investments, I took an early retirement in 2021 from a U.S. Federal government job. We are now living the Vida Loca life of traveling foodies and having the best times of our life. The variety and freshness of the foods in Vietnam are second to none. High-quality electronics like massage chairs, treadmills, and home electronics are better quality than those in the U.S. at a fraction of the costs. Brand name meds, medical, and dental care in Vietnam are also fractions of the cost with some of the best customer services from many European/U.S. trained practitioners. Recently, I've had a whole mouth dental restoration for about $12K. This includes oral surgeries, nasal lifts, bone graphs, porcelain crowns for the whole upper rows front teeth, and four implants. Had it priced in the U.S. for $50K+. We're considered Viet Kieu, so we're able to get 5 years visa. After living here 6 months or more, we've filed paperwork and are able to stay permanently as retirees. We're finally going to sell our home in the U.S. and flip the script by living full-time in Vietnam and visiting our kids in the U.S. as a vacation from Vietnam. We're being pampered with my wife's sisters, dozens of the now grown-up neices and nephews we've financially supported throughout the years. This is the life I'm telling ya! 😂 P.S. I don't pay any taxes on my home and lands in the Ba Ria Vung Tau area. I especially love that I don't have to be burdened my with my 9mm everywhere I go. Gun violence in Vietnam is almost nonexistent. Vietnam, with a population of 100 million people, had one of the best COVID 19 mitigation management in the world. Their deaths and infection rates were in the thousands and not in the millions like it is in the U.S.

Thank you for these beautiful interviews!

Super video man. Interview with locals and hearing their english was amazing

I went to Danang and Hoian for my honeymoon. I was shocked how nice it was. I had the beach all to myself and the breakfast buffet at the resort were amazing. This was 10 years ago. I want to come back!

Vietnamese people are so nice, and their country is beautiful. Plus, it costs almost nothing to live there.

Wow i think the music video is great at the end, i actuslly like the lyrics to the song, because its straight-up chiling and it shows whats available for a person coming to vietnam looking to escape the entire western world countries high cost of everything and just looking to live comfortably while still having a blast at life.......... You definitely earned my sub, (also glad that you actually asked the locals because i always love hear from them as well )

Danang is one of my favorite city to visit. Will return next April.

Great video! Thanks for sharing

Great video GP...very useful information for explorers....

I like videos from Geofrey ..he actually get down to the detail of local life. Thanks !

Great video - very informative!

Nice to see prices from a local's perspective. Da Nang has become my new favourite spot in South East Asia, I look forward to head back to Da Nang next January.

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 You really have to think about the exchange rates for everywhere in the world compared to other places

I was there a couple months ago in HCM. I def over-paid for my place, but it was daily and in D1, nothing to write home about, but nice, clean and did the job (850k/day, 800k/day for 10 days+. Monthly would be 15M + electric). I figured out even with such a high rent, compared to what else was available for longer term renting, with food (special diet) i would pay about the same or slightly less then I'm paying for just rent here in BKK (ofc Im over-paying here too, bc it's an AirBnB in a nice part of town and it's monthly). I hearrd Hoi An and Hanoi much cheaper. Da Nang looks nice, esp with a good beach. Also agree with Geofrey that the interactions, at least that I experienced, were a bit more genuine over there then I found over here and the English isn't bad for those that speak it. I definitely need to get back there soon and do more exploring!

Viva Da Nang!😎😉Great place I was there pre covid from Hanoi to the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh!Loved it.

Vietnam looks like a great place to visit..Hopefully I'll get there this winter..
