It is known that in the video she listed her expenses including: rent 10 million VND/month; food and drink 1.5 million VND/month; phone bill 260k VND/month; free tuition fee only for the whole year registration fee is 4.5 million dong; payment for student life and school facilities 2.5 million dong/year; Bank card fee 150k VND/month. If you calculate the total, minus the fixed house price, the whole month this girl only loses 4.5 million VND for all other expenses.
The expenses that your friend listed in the video
Studying abroad is a challenge for every student when leaving the familiar and facing the unpredictable, especially the cost of living. Because everyone knows that the cost of studying abroad is not cheap, so when this friend revealed that her spending is thrifty and still reasonable with such an expensive living abroad, it makes many people curious. How did this female TikToker do it?
Contact the owner of the video, my friend Le Hoang Nhi (22 years old) is currently a Bachelor of International Business from RMIT University and also a Bachelor of Economics and Management at Lumière Lyon 2 University in France. said: “In terms of my own spending in France, I basically find it quite cheap. Because I don’t have to pay for my tuition fees, I’ve also reduced a pretty large amount. Every month, I will mainly have to pay the rent for about approx. 465 Euro (more than 11 million VND); 9.90 Euro phone service fee (more than 240k VND), 25 Euro travel card money (609k VND), money to go to the market…
I myself am not a person who often goes out to eat, so balancing the spending level is not a problem for me. So besides the fixed monthly expenses, I hardly have any extra money.”

Hoang Nhi also revealed that during her time in France, she worked part-time at an Asian restaurant to cover living expenses here. “1 week I will work about 8-10 hours and the monthly salary will be about 300 Euro (more than 7 million VND) and I receive a smic salary – the minimum wage in France is about 8 Euro/hour”the friend said.
Hoang Nhi revealed that she does not spend money on things that are not “necessary” for herself
In addition, she also shared more about the standard of living in France, the price of each city will fluctuate insignificantly.
“For example, if you live in Paris, the average monthly rent will be higher than in Lyon, and so are other fees. For me, such a spending level is not too small, I simply is not shopping, not eating out, not going to a bar club, not spending anything that is not ‘necessary’ to me.
Another thing I didn’t mention in my video sharing the cost of living in France is travel. During the 3 years of studying in France, I also traveled to many places during the holidays. And the money for travel will also usually be money for self-employment and hunting for cheap tickets. I think that’s also one of the benefits of studying abroad in general and studying abroad in France – Europe in particular, which is to experience traveling to many different countries.”
From the story of the living expenses of the above international student, each student should learn how to manage their own expenses well, avoid wasteful spending so that they can ensure their studies. I get the best results.
