    My relative moved back to Vietnam, but not 100%. He still has homes in the US. He went back and forth when necessary. He already retired but with a comfortable nest egg and is financially comfortable. And that is his only formula: Have enough income to retire in Vietnam without worry, but don't risk everything there. Mai is a courageous and energetic young mother of three, and wish her the best. But she is not any different from many Westerners and Americans who take "the road less traveled". It can lead to something good, or even if it is a dead-end, it is not the end of the world as she can still go back to Denmark again. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. The father of her 3 kids must take a man's ultimate responsibility in life: to ensure the children's success and happiness. So, she should not be alone on that. Remember her parents' generation: they escaped Vietnam in rickety boats with children without much food and water, bobbling in pitch black sea not knowing where it might end up. Yet, many made it and made it well. Whatever she is on right now, is still far far better than those rickety boats, and she certainly has the same courage as the previous generation. I wish her family the best.

    When making a decision to move to a country like Vietnam it is not always about income and growth possibilities. It is at least as much a matter of lifestyle and culture and that is all subjective. I am an American born and raised in NYC. I met a Vietnamese refugee there in 1976 and where we were married in 1977. I became quickly fascinated with things Vietnamese. We came first to Vietnam in 1988. We moved to Saigon full time in 1995 where we remain. Now retired and 70 years old I can say that I am never bored.

Remember getting an MBA requires lots of time, money and effort. She is young, well educated and confident. She has a Vietnamese name, and she can speak and understand Vietnamese. It's quite fascinating isn't?

On SEA living expenses, that is a good entry level job. Hella better than $4K/month in California. And experienced teacher can make $2.5K or more. SEA pays the same as Japan and Korea! So that's why the tuition costs so damn much at the high level international schools. They are paying top dollar for foreign teachers.

    Very brave person, I admire her determination, and wish to raise her kids in Vietnam culture. Wish her every success - I'm confident she will do great. Seems like she might be working under a gig contract basis working remotely for a US company - a great step - but reckon (and hope I am wrong) she does not get many benefits (contribution to pension, healthcare, paid vacation). Hopefully she can develop relationships where a Vietnamese company will see the value in her, hire her locally in Vietnam with a good work condition, or hire her to work in Denmark / Europe for its international expansion. Or find a US company wishing to move their operations from China to Vietnam - as an example, suggest contacting Apple HQ in the US to apply for position in the US with the ultimate goal to be based in Vietnam or to work straightaway in Vietnam. Good luck, hoping for the best for you.

    Came to America in 1994 and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. I am currently living in Hawaii and am now in my 40s. America is no longer the place to be for a better life because I have realized that a "better life" does not have to consist of having a nice car, a high-paying job, or owning a house. The American way of life is currently very toxic and unhealthy.
