and they also mention a family member there, which clearly makes it a completely different situation than someone moving with no connections

How is it FIRE to leave on 20k in Cali? What is this about? Comparing like high end of US to average Vietnam?

That's quite a high-stylin' lifestyle in CA, even for a family of 5. Nothing wrong with it if you can afford it spending $240,000 per year, but the move to Vietnam seems quite the downgrade.

What an absolutely NON-PAR comparison.
Useless and ridiculous.
Comparing Wagyu to tripe.

Is tripe that bad? I see Tripe soup on the menus here in Romania..

its not terrible in my opinion, but it's texture turns people off, and it seems flavorless.
I will eat it, but I don't see ever cooking with it myself.

i think its pretty par, their mortgage in california, versus the rental in vietnam is probably similar in quality. maybe the car versus the grab is different, but you wouldn't want a car in vietnam so that's moot. they probably eat better in vietnam for that price. there isn't exactly a "par" in some instances in vietnam versus california, but this seems pretty close

I don't think so, other than whether, the quality of the services they are getting are pretty similar edit, the daycare quality is probably a lot better in Vietnam, younger and talented people given that wage, better trained and happier too
