Always here for your content.❤ Living below one's means is definitely the key to saving. I bit myself in the foot by signing with an agency that pays peanuts (even for a tier 3 city) so i had to adjust to living below my means real quick. I always feel like I've spoken to a friend after watching your videos. Thank you for being encouraging and realistic.

@emmerencyiak8366 Год назад

Please share the agency's name and also what was your salary ?

@NomfundoMbatha Год назад

You are too kind. Thank you. ♥ I hope you're getting out of that contract soon. 🙏🏾

@mphomakhale Год назад

Guuuuurl, I just moved here two months ago and I completely agree with you. Not a lot of people here have a Plan B when they get home. So most are forced to just be here and teach.

@NomfundoMbatha Год назад

Which is very unfortunate, hey.

😊 Before the vid, I'd planned to come back at least once a year. Hopefully visiting sometime this year.

@jabulilemkhwanazi9740 Год назад

Hey Nomfundo just stambled on your page , great content thank you. Just a quick question I heard u say you paid for ur BA while in China. Did u complete it before or while in China ?

@NomfundoMbatha Год назад

Hello, Jabulile. Thank you. I continued my BA when I moved to China. Also did my Honours while being here.

@tshiamosefike3672 Год назад

Oh, that's great! CONGRATULATIONS Nomfundo👩‍🎓 I thought you had to have a completed degree already in order to teach English in China

Hi Nomfundo great content☺I just want to know if you have a child, how possible is it to relocate with him. I mean in terms of the legalities involved like do they allow you to come with the child and the schools that side how expensive are they?

@NomfundoMbatha 8 месяцев назад

Thank you. Yes, you can relocate with your family .

@jeffreymorganbezuidenhout690 Год назад

Hi, great content. What is the tax rate in China?

@NomfundoMbatha Год назад

Thank you. Tax rates vary. Please Google for precise figures.

@girliGuess 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your honesty. In South Korea. Im not a fan of my Hagwon but I am currently saving a little over 10k a month. I heard China pays double what we earn here. I found this enticing because I figured I'd save double. Are they lying? Do y'all really earn more than us here in SKorea?

@NomfundoMbatha 10 месяцев назад

You're welcome and yes, we get paid more in China...very subjective, though.

@girliGuess 10 месяцев назад

@NomfundoMbatha last question! (Sorry) Does everyone get the 6 Weekes scroll holidays or is it just the public schools like here in Korea? We only get 10 days a year plus the mercy of national holidays. How do holidays work there?

Hey Nomfundo. I've seen in your vlogs that you're saved. I wanted to ask where one can get a spiritual home (church) here in China. TIA

Hello, there are a few churches in Shanghai, but I've switched to a virtual church for personal reasons.

Does your school not pay for your rent deposit when you get to the country?

@Teacher_Zania Год назад

And rent*

@proofoflife7654 Год назад

Good question. My school covered it

@NomfundoMbatha Год назад

Nope. Unless you have free accommodation. Some schools give out loans to new teachers, though. At least in Shanghai...

@senzelokuhlenkabini6004 Год назад

Thank you for touching on this topic. I've heard that it's difficult to transfer money from China to a South African bank account, is this true?

@NomfundoMbatha Год назад

You're welcome. No, it's not hard to transfer money.

Did you leverage fapian tax? Is it worth doing?

@NomfundoMbatha 8 месяцев назад

I don’t understand your questions?

@NomfundoMbatha i spelled it wrong, it is fapiao tax in china. the practice of paying taxes real time and submitting invoices monthly. do you do that?
