Millions of Americans have a monthly income of 800 to 1000 US dollars, some will consider living overseas. The most important question is what will be the cost of shelter and food. While there are uncountable answers to cost of ...

Reality check, please? Answers to most questions about costs, e.g. food, housing, visa renewal, even medical insurance, homestay, etc. etc. etc. can be found on Youtube, Facebook, etc. without any problem or flack. If anyone had bothered to read ... Read More

@thigv, did you even read my last post??????? I had you in the highest place among equal in this HCMC chat, but y've came tumbling down. Not answering a question and talking about whatever they choose is disrespectful and insulting to whomever ... Read More

@Gobot, Mahalo nui loa, Thank you very much. Your post is more relevant and informative than all the other posts combined. I only appreciated another post, the rest of the posts were a bad joke at best. I wasn't looking for something for myself ... Read More

@TGHIGV I tried just to open another avenue for expats, for me I can manage. No one regrets this thread more than me. but it seems that having an opinion is not welcome. The "help" came more on the way of scary tactics than real help. ... Read More

@Ciambella it would be nice if when a person asked for information that they got an answer to their question and then the respondent added any thoughts of his/her own. Health insurance is a topic I wish I did not have to spend a second on it. FYI I ... Read More

Touche..... but..... I still see a big difference between traveling, where one may not want be encumbered by meal times versus staying put for months Read More

@Fred last thing I am looking for is arguments. I only asked for info. If I want total immersion, expat products is something I'm shunning. If insurance varies so much, that is precisely the reason why it would be nice having the personal ... Read More

@THIGV, Mahalo for your response. The board part of the room and board was two fold. One to give some assurance of stable cost to expat. Two to funnel more money to the local folk. i logically can see why meals may not have worked for your ... Read More

A clarification...... I started the thread as another possibility for living abroad, for any wanna be expat. While I could learn some about VN, I believe I can do ok on my own. My question was if there is any organization altruist or commercial ... Read More

@CiamBella I liked your post very much but I'm not sure about one point, medicare. Medicare part A is free if one is over 65. Part B does cost but if one does not cancel it, which was already factored in my $800 to $1000 range, then it may not ... Read More

@Wxx3 thanks for the answer. Of course total respect for the culture and customs. My idea is even crazier, I could see a network of guest homes where one could stay for a month or longer and than move to another guest house on another city so one ... Read More

@THIGV Aloha, yep total immersion, not for everyone but for those who really want to experience VN. I am not sure what you meant about cost of food. Can you please estimate the room and board costs? From country simple to town simple. Mahalo Read More

@Fred, with all due respect, it is a bare bones concept that I put forward. I could have gone on explaining that I would never advise anyone to even try without having a 6 month cushion at a minimum and someone holding enough cash, on the mainland, ... Read More

@Quidpronothing..... I am not sure why you wasted your time and mine. Retirees should be in good health in first place and if one gets sick he/she can always go home and Medicare will take care of that person Read More
