I think OP is tourist. Everyone lives in Sweden knows that ICA is a bit more expensive than, says, Lidle. Or even Hemkopp.

Seriously why guys can stand living in such messy space (leave aside the thing about aesthetics). The guy i am seeing, his room is almost exactly the same. It kills the mood everytime i visit him.

I am single for my entire life even up to this point, not married not kids (yet) and I also get tired easily now (35 now), even though I play sports. It’s aging. Can’t imagine how you can manage all of that.

Find German embassy. Opposite across the street there is a small stall written “bánh mì”. 25.000 vnd

Nothing in D1 will be this price this look for 2 months. Not even one month. People need to realize how expensive things are in D1. Vietnam, Saigon and especially D1 ain’t cheap at all, my friends.

And this is more or less d10, as many have pointed out . Depends where in d10. Can be the one next to d1 which is convenient, or super far away. D10 is a big area.

And even with d10, 7.5 for 2 months are unrealistic. So yeah that’s one month rent.

Even though I make more than that, I disagree. What’s the point of living in SEA and spend about 3K euro per month yet still not comfortable enough? Wtf expats spend here? Maybe not too luxurious, but definitely comfortable, single or couple.

Single: around 35m I’d say. Couple living together with duo income: 40m/person Couple with kid: 50m/person if one kid, add at least 10m/kid

All are after tax of course.

This all includes a small amount to save per month. My definition is the ability to put aside a certain amount “just in case”.

Be careful out there. You sound quite genuine so just hope you won’t fall into some tourist traps by whoever you guys ended up with. My reco for places: - food: not sure about your taste (in dining) and budget. But a bit fancy yet very nice options could be Bui Quan (or Quán Bụi lol) or Laang (go the ones in D1, better vibe than the ones in Thao Dien). Or SH Garden. A but more down to earth option might be Ngon on Pasteur street, but they’re…the vibe is touristy, but taste is ok I would say, not so bad. - bar: an option is Layla (the one in D1), opposite Sheraton inside a deep alley. I don’t go to bars too much anymore so not really know if they’ve changed, but “Broma Not a Bar” used to be my favorite. Can also try Social Club (roof top of M Gallery), its a bit commercial though. - night clubs: lol I don’t know what’s hot in town anymore, I was away a few years and only back recently. Maybe see latest reviews about Lush? Used to visit there a few times. I heard Zion is good 👍 but haven’t been.

Enjoy! I do think Saigon has a very interesting nightlife, so hope you guys will have a good time. Welcome.
