Cost of Living in Vietnam: Tier 1 vs Tier 4 (City vs Countryside Showdown)

Are Vietnam’s big cities really that much more expensive than small towns? In this live, I’m breaking down the REAL cost of living across Vietnam’s city tiers – from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to the most affordable provincial towns.

We’ll cover:

✅ What “Tier 1 to Tier 4” actually means in Vietnam
✅ Tier 1 realities: rent, lifestyle inflation, and where the money goes
✅ Tier 2 value cities and who they’re perfect for
✅ Tier 3 vs Tier 4 – how cheap does it get and what’s the trade‑off?
✅ Which tier is right for you: budget, lifestyle and dating considerations
✅ Live Q&A – drop your city and budget in chat

This stream will help you decide if you’re ready for the excitement of the city or the calm (and savings) of the countryside. If you need a custom plan, my Vietnam Relocation Guide + 30‑minute consult is linked below.
