  At 70, almost broke because for years trying to survive in the US with way overpriced everything , took off for Siem Reap, Cambodia on my social security income in January. I&apos;m using it as a base. Easy 1 year, multi-entry visa and chill, inexpensive living. I love it here. I know all about the Cambodia haters but you do you. I love all the S.E. Asia countries to stay short term but only 1 allows me the ease, affordability and lack of bureaucracy to live in long term.

  I absolutely love how this dude just low key roasts people in this video. In a world full of so much sensitivity and intolerance of being offended I love to see a little roasting from time to time. <br><br> This is also excellent information. Invaluable. I have been so over the US for so long now and have dreamed of going to Vietnam and you&apos;re mentioning things here that I would have never thought of. This video is getting a save and will be the seed for everything I do and look for.

  I’m going to tell you guys a story.<br><br>I was working 60 hours a week in the USA I invested and saved pretty much my whole life. At 44 I realized I had $3500 a month in dividends but that wasn’t enough to retire. I was tired overweight had chest pains and everything. <br><br>When I got to NHA Trang I stayed at a hotel near the beach for my first month. I got up ran on the beach worked out then went home. I ordered all my food and watched movie and slept.<br><br>It took me that whole month just to recover from the pains from working myself to death. <br><br>What’s good about Vietnam is if you don’t want to be bothered no one will bother you. But if you want to be part of the community like I am now then your neighbors will invite you over and they will also come over for a chat all the time even without an invite. <br><br>But you know what? I’m healed so it isn’t an inconvenience. I for the first time in my life look forward to seeing my neighbors. They don’t ask for food or anything. They just come to talk. But I make sure to have a beer and some food handy.

  I did it in 2019 - $15 / month rent provincial town many local Vietnamese had never heard of. I bought produce and shrimp from the local wet market and stayed out of the bars. I smoked the local grass and vegged out in my room, bought a bicycle and rode around for exercise. &nbsp;I &nbsp;could have made 10K last two years Easily but alas, the language barrier and basic sustenance level of living got to me, &nbsp;10K USD affords luxury living in the sticks. Before that I spent 12 years in China and Thailand and was already very adept at living in Asia on a shoestring. The people there were incredible and it was an experience.

  &quot;I don&apos;t have hands&quot; I mean, that&apos;s a pretty valid reason for not getting a bike, man.

  this is the first of this whole &quot;expat in vietnam&quot; videos the algorithm is serving me, but as a suburban dad in chicago I&apos;m already enjoying this guy&apos;s ranting about how exhausting US expats can be. &nbsp;makes total sense.

  Great video! I’ve been in Da Nang for five months now, but now heading to Bali for a bit. <br>I’ve been doing a pretty good job on the budget to feel a place out and integrate. I’m not a barfly, but I’ve joined several social meet up groups, Pickleball, badminton, surfing and motorbiking all over the place! It’s been a great experience and look forward to coming back at some point. Keep up the good work Evan 💪

  I&apos;ve been really contemplating doing something like this but I was very scared bc knowing nothing and moving across the globe is terrifying. But watching this video, I kept thinking to myself &quot;I could do that&quot;. Really helped with confidence
