The Money Thing (Again) Poll.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Now there is a question... I think I lived on about $600 a month when I first got here. 16 years later I need a minimum of $5000

When I left Cambodia 2017 I was going through about $3k monthly. Before we had kids was under $2k.

Kids = car, car seat, school, clothes

150% of my paycheck. Back to Thailand after this contract. Living standard mostly. For the same rent I pay here plus aircon bill, I had a condo (twice the size of my PP apartment) with infinity poor, sauna room and gym, 60” tv, IKEA furniture. Food is also far more expensive here, whether supermarket or restaurant.

$6 chicken awful kebabs? Really?

The average pizza twice to three times the price of an average Bangkok pizza.

The problem is my paycheck is 38% of what I made in Thailand.

How does someone spend over 10,000 a month do they rent a big house and have a harem?

villa and running costs/staff can easily top 3k
