December House Expenses

Wednesday, December 27, 2006 By kevmille

  1. 8,000,000 VND – Rent
  2. 184,500 VND – Telephone
  3. 550,000 VND – FPT ADSL
  4. 442,500 VND – Electricity
  5. 92,500 VND – Water
  6. 10,000 VND – Garbage

Total: 9,279,500 Vietnamese Dong

Wow, I paid around $566 for all my house expenses for the month of December. My water and electricity bill were to high. I am never home so the water and electricity guys GUESS how much water and electricity I use.

In about one month, I hope to move to a smaller house with lower rent. I currently live in a 5 story house with 4 bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen, livingroom, balcony and laundryroom (with jacuzzi and sauna). BUT I only use my bedroom and kitchen so I really do not need to live in this big house. It is too hard to clean up by myself and I really do not want another housekeeper.

Most of the expats I know have smaller expenses. Originally I moved into this house with a roommate. When she left, I had a Viet Kieu stay with me but after he left, I decided not to get a new roommate.

    Does “telephone” mean mobile phone?

    No, house phone. My mobile phone bill ranges from 300,000 VND – 1,500,000 VND if I am not careful. I never add that to house expenses 🙂

      That is for your whole company?

        Just my house. But the company is about the same.

          Did you ever put an air curtain at the main entrance of your house to trap the escaping cold air? I know some places that use these which help cut down on their electric bills. Not sure how much though.
