My monthly living EXPENSES in TAIWAN 🇹🇼

Is it expensive to live in Taiwan? Today I cover my monthly living expenses essentials like rent to expenses like drinks and entertainment and reveal how much I spend each month in Taiwan.

Most expenses are pretty normal but my food expenses are definitely more expensive than usual. Still, my monthly expenses of life in Taiwan are much cheaper than my life back in the USA. If you're curious about living in Taiwan as a foreigner and expat, this is the video for you!

Just found your channel and it's been super super helpful! I'm busy finishing up a 4 year music degree and am planning on starting the job searching/moving process as soon as I graduate. It will be my first time living by myself(wahooo! 🤪)so this video has been a great help to get an idea of how I'll be managing my finances once I move. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦🌻

I am constantly amazed by the low prices of accomodation in Taiwan, even in Taipei! (Compared to my native London that is...)

That was a clear breakdown about monthly expenses. When you say you have a total of NTD $1, 000 for monthly transportation expenses, do you mean you have monthly pass for that amount, and you can have unlimited access to MRT and bus? If that's true, that would be definitely a great deal.

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. --Maya Angelou[][][]

This was an interesting video. Could I ask about how much you make or a range? I know that maybe personal so if you do want to say I understand. I am glad your loving Taiwan it was my home. Please stay safe!

How much did you spend monthly in Kinmen for rent and food?

[gregchen]

One essential thing for me is going to “hair washing”. Which ranges $7-$10-. If you find a good hair shop, neck and head massage are included. Well worth the dollars. Stay safe. Cheers from Dallas, Texas.

Kayla,
How is the pollution level in K city? I am considering moving back to Taiwan after 40+ years in the US. But I am just a bit sensitive to pollution.
