Hi There,
I am moving to Ho Chi Minh City in July and I was wonderirng if anyone can give me advice on how much I should budget for monthly expenses ? Rent, food, utilities, entertainment costs ?
If it turns out to be more expensive than I thought, I think I will postpone the trip and try saving more money in the US before heading to Asia.
Thanks in advance
