The cost of Raising a family in Cambodia 

You can’t effort nannies in USA. Life in America is harder to raise family (expensive, education, guns, etc).

I'm spending about $1500 per month for everything right now. It's good to hear your living expenses per month to maintain a family lifestyle.👍🏽

If you can afford $4,000.00 a month in Srok Khmer, you should be able to afford to live anywhere. You might not be able to afford 2 in-house nannies, but you and your wife should be able to manage it. We have 4 kids, and the last 2 sons are twins, and my wife and I managed to live comfortably in the USA with a single income. We cannot afford daycare, so my wife stayed home to take care of the kids. They're now in high school, college and the eldest kid just graduated from college as an RN this year. Good luck to you and your wife with your future move!

Here in the us, everything is very expensive. Hire a nanny could cost you a fortune. In California, one bedroom apartment rent cost between $2600 to $3000 a month. A bowl of pho now costs $16 plus tips. Car and health insurance cost skyrocketed and required by law to have it. Life here in the US is not as good as the old days. A lot of homeless and crimes. My car license plate got stolen at home and window got smashed at work. This happened to my neighbors, coworkers, almost everyone I know is a victim of crimes. I used go for walk worry free. Now I have to take extra precautions when I walk outside.

My monthly expenses as a business owner $7k. Personal expenses $5k. Rough guesstimates.

Nanny in the U.S is about $3000 a month easily no room and board just in California I’m talking about. 40 hrs week

You're too funny 🤣 Eva is too mab. There are always pros and cons no matter where we live but it's an option in life. The US has become so expensive to live a comfortable life or with an annual income over 200K for family of three and still can't afford for your personal nanny at home. Good luck with your future planning for your family. We will be back to the Kingdom in a few months. Happy spring from Minnesota 🎉

The rent would be between $3000 to $3500 per month. Driving to work could be more than one hour drive so no lunch at home for sure.

The guy who unsubscribed because you drink sabotaged your tire!

America is more pricey for daycare that's not including food and etc...

As a Khmer Canadian who would love to return to Cambodia one day, it's definitely cheaper living in Cambodia for a family of 3. It's getting more and more expensive in Canada and the US. Either you are very rich or poor as the middle class is shrinking. A lot of retirees are moving to cheaper countries to retire. Cambodia is completely foreign to me but thank God I am still fluent in Khmer.

It sounds like you got it made over there. Here in Huntington Beach, CA, my 1 bedroom apt is $2,200 alone... total in all expenses are $3,500. I don't go out nor eat out b/c I can't afford to pay $15 for pho and $5 to $6 coffee every day. I have 2 jobs, one fulltime at $21/hr just to pay for all my bills, and I have another part-time job in the gig economy to save, so I can get the hell out of the US to Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia or back to Hawaii.

At the end is so funny with you guys lightly bickering with the “pimp” joke 😂

Hello from USA family of 4 here i am spending about 5k a month here...that just one income my wife is a stay home mom...i feel living KH is alot less stress due to the fact we can get a Nanny for a low salary to help us watch the kids i am considering going to live in KH in 2024 but worried making a decent income where we can live comfortably and put less stress for my wife since my 2 youngest in 2 & 3 years old...a handful...thanks for the this video and giving us this real life outlook about KH ... Peace Love and Happiness PaOun Pros

Not going to lie. I am going miss the your Cambodia videos once you move back to the states. My wife (japanese) and I (khmer) bing watch your channel and itchyfeet on the daily here from Colorado. But i understand you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Going to continue supporting regardless!

Family of 3 like you. We are an old fashioned Khmer couple in California. I dont know my expenses. My wife holds the purse strings. I just bring home 7k a month. Side hustles for my hobbies

I think pros of Cambodia: Cost / learn language / culture / safety / luxuries that can’t be afforded otherwise (house with car with nanny /house keeper).

Yes raise family in Cambodia much better than USA 🇺🇸

Living in US, is to work six, or perhaps, seven days per week if owning a business. Working at least six days if working for others. May be mandatory to work more than eight hours per day (forced over time work). If planning to live in US temporarily for a few months you will get an idea. Keeping your property in Cambodia is the best choice if you decide to go back. Life is best in US if hitting a jackpot.

We liike also to add the retirement accounts with the 401K employers account, individual IRA and Roth IRA accounts besides the government social security account. After living there for over 40 years, we took our early retirement to travel to see the world with our personal retirement accounts and we can retire any where if we wanted to including Cambodia. Life is short to do the things we don't love doing but life is very precious. Budget our financial requires disciplines and commitment to achieve our financial freedom instead of living with debts.
