“You can live in Vietnam for $1,000 a month… but will you be happy, healthy, and secure doing it?”Adrie and I are gonna be here again, but in different roles - she's the host and interviews me. Adrie asks me about the real cost of living in Vietnam after nine years as expats in Ho Chi Minh City. When we first arrived, we thought everything would be dirt cheap — almost free. But as we settled into long-term life, we learned that costs depend entirely on the lifestyle you want to live.This conversation was a fun mix of stories from our early days, lessons we've learned the hard way, and advice I wish someone had told me when we first moved here. It's not just about whether you can survive on a backpacker budget — it's about whether you can thrive here long-term with savings, health insurance, and a lifestyle you actually enjoy. Key Talking PointsFirst impressions vs. reality – Vietnam feels cheap at first, but costs add up quickly.Wide price ranges – from 10k coffees to 110k Starbucks, lifestyle choices shape your budget.Can you live on $1,000/month? Long-term essentials – pensions, health insurance, transportation, and gym memberships are often overlooked.Simple but rich lifestyle – Vietnam makes it easier to spend less on consumer goods, but temptations (international food, travel, shopping) are always there.Chapters[00:00] Arriving in Vietnam – first impressions and naïve expectations.[07:00] The shock of real rent prices in Ho Chi Minh City.[13:00] Street food vs. Western comforts: how your lifestyle changes your budget.[19:00] Hidden costs expats forget: pensions, insurance, gyms, and groceries.[29:00] Big question: Can you live on $1,000/month in Saigon?[45:00] Why a simpler life in Vietnam can actually feel richer."Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

Alliance Group’s chairman Mark Wynne has all but shut down a letter penned by a group of farmers wanting to recapitalise the embattled processor themselves as providing “false hope”. Five current shareholders have pulled together what they describe as an “alternative finance proposal” to prepay its debt money from capital raised from farmers, retaining profits as well as selling “non-essential” assets.

Business NZ says the Government's making workers leave simpler and more cost-effective. It's announced a new hours-based annual and sick leave accrual system, including flexibility of being able to take only the hours needed off work rather than a full day. It'll also mean part-time workers will no longer have a minimum sick leave entitlement. Business NZ's Paul Mackay says leave's always been accrued, but there were other rules attached. "The Government has simplified it by saying - you accrue leave or you earn leave as you go, it's effectively money in your bank and you will take out from that bank of leave when you want it."

En la 3ª edición del South International Series Festival de Cádiz entrevistamos a Chrystine Girard (Head of International Distribution, Encore) y Julie Provençal (Television Management, Encore) sobre Corbeaux, el nuevo horror drama canadiense que llega con fuerza al panorama internacional. Con ellas repasamos cómo nació este inquietante proyecto, los retos de llevar al público una historia oscura y atmosférica, y qué distingue a Corbeaux dentro de la nueva ola de ficción de género en Canadá.

On October 2, 1993, 37-year-old Dana MacKay and 49-year-old Mary Huffman were found murdered inside their Las Vegas home. The couple had been shot at close range, likely just after returning home from grocery shopping. The only thing missing from the house was a manila folder filled with important documents.  The Vegas community was shocked by the double homicide. The couple was well-known around town: Dana was America's first Elvis impersonator, and Mary had once been crowned Mrs. Nevada. It was hard to believe they'd been murdered in their home, known as Mini Graceland. But despite the initial attention their case received, it quickly went cold. More than thirty years later, their murders are still unsolved and the question remains: who killed Dana and Mary? 37-year-old Dana MacKay and 49-year-old Mary Huffman were found murdered inside their Las Vegas home, known as Mini Graceland, on October 2, 1993. They had been shot several times at close range, likely just after returning home from grocery shopping on September 30. While one room appeared ransacked, cash and jewelry were left behind. The only thing missing was Dana's manila folder, which contained personal and business records. Anyone with information is asked to call the Las Vegas Metro Police Homicide Section at 702-828-3521.
