Will I save money living in Busan?
We asked expats if they save money living in Busan. They said...
"The cost of living in Busan, South Korea is generally lower than in many cities in the United States. This includes expenses such as rent, groceries, dining out, and public transportation. Healthcare is also significantly cheaper in Busan compared to the United States. However, the amount of money you can save will depend on your lifestyle and spending habits. For instance, if you choose to live in a more upscale neighborhood or frequently dine at high-end restaurants, your cost of living may be higher. Additionally, while the cost of living may be lower, wages in Busan are also generally lower than in the United States. Therefore, if you're working in Busan, you'll need to consider your income in relation to your expenses," said a member in Busan, Korea.
