(2023 updated version)

Live well for $500 a month

Vietnam has warm weather, fast internet, cheap, modern apartments, great food, and low prices on everything. In Vietnam, you're not just living cheaply, but living very well for very little money.

Whether you're a digital nomad, a long-term traveller, a location-independent entrepreneur, a retiree, or all of the above, and whether your budget is $500 a month or $1,000 a month or $5,000 a month, Vietnam is a great place for you to live.

A good meal costs $1, a month of mobile data costs $5, and seeing the doctor costs $3It's easy to live well in Vietnam. But there's not much information out there about Vietnam. These days most digital nomads go to Thailand. Vietnam is actually a much better and cheaper option.
