It&#039;s not as good as it was a year ago, but it&#039;s still possible to save money in Korea.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s still profitable to save up money in Korea. Its not what you make but the cost of living that makes it worth while. You don&#039;t pay rent for starters, and most things are cheaper then you are used to, especially if you live in a more isolated area then Seoul or Busan. For example where I am a taxi drive is about 2300 - 5000 won - so just a couple of dollars instead of 6-15 like it would be in my home town. If you like Korean food its cheaper to eat. Its cheaper to go to the movies, go to live shows, get drunk, travel to other cities, stay in motels, etc. Also keep in mind that you can save your money until a day when the won is doing well so you don&#039;t lose as much of it.</description>

		<description>well depends where you live
but if you want to teach english
its probably seoul

seoul expenses are probably similar to any big city in america
and everything is pretty convenient, transportation/fastfood/etc.

even though expenses are high, id say that youd earn a decent amount and if youre from a good college or background, you could probably earn a lot because tutors are very very popular in korea</description>

		<description>Yes, it is because 

a) living expenses are smaller than US overall. Most consumer goods are cheaper. GDP per capita in Korea is approximately 22k~27k which is lower than US&#039; 45k. So take the ratio from the GDP per capita and apply it to the general purchasing items. Taxes are also cheaper in Korea. VAT is 10% but it is readily applied so you don&#039;t really notice the significance. However, despite the cheapness compared to US, electronics, home appliances, or any other products that involve internationally recognized brand name products, than it is more expensive. (ex. iPods, laptops, cars)

b) Recent devaluation of the KRW currency is just a slump. It will gradually come back in future. Those who have bought USD with KRW when it was 1USD= 950Won would&#039;ve made a lot of money depending on their investments. Anyhoo, it would be better to save up most of your earnings until currency balances out.

c) Also, average is 2 million Won a month. However, you can usually earn more. If you have graduated from a reputable college with a good GPA, you can probably find a place upto 4 million Won a month. Also, high 10% is about 5 ~ 6 million Won a month which is pretty high (including housing). English education in Korea can be very lucrative job so if you like teaching English and dealing with children please come.

☆Only Notice you should take is adaptation to the Korean culture.
I have seen some foreigners who just missed American style of living.
If you are very open to new ideas and culture, I highly recommend Korea as a place to be personally. Japan is expensive and some places in China and Taiwan could be pretty scuzzy. I&#039;m not saying there is no scuzzy part of the town in Korea, but it is overall better place to be.

Hopefully you will find your journey up to Eastern Asia and bring back a valuable life experience that will change you forever.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, it is since </p>
<p>a) vital losses have been not as big than US overall. Most consumer products have been cheaper. GDP per capita in Korea is we estimate 22k~27k which is reduce than US&#8217; 45k. So take the comparative measure from the GDP per capita as well as request it to the ubiquitous purchasing items. Taxes have been additionally cheaper in Korea. VAT is 10% though it is straightforwardly practical so we do not unequivocally notice the significance. However, notwithstanding the ostentation compared to US, electronics, home appliances, or any alternative products which engage internationally famous code name products, than it is some-more expensive. (ex. iPods, laptops, cars)</p>
<p>b) Recent devaluation of the KRW banking is only the slump. It will progressively come behind in future. Those who have paid for USD with KRW when it was 1USD= 950Won would&#8217;ve done the lot of income depending upon their investments. Anyhoo, it would be improved to save up many of your gain until banking balances out.</p>
<p>c) Also, normal is 2 million Won the month. However, we can customarily consequence more. If we have graduated from the creditable college with the great GPA, we can substantially find the place upto 4 million Won the month. Also, tall 10% is about 5 ~ 6 million Won the month which is flattering tall (including housing). English preparation in Korea can be really remunerative pursuit so if we similar to training English as well as traffic with young kids greatfully come.</p>
<p>☆Only Notice we should take is instrumentation to the Korean culture.<br />
I have seen the little foreigners who only longed for American character of living.<br />
If we have been really open to latest ideas as well as culture, we rarely suggest Korea as the place to be personally. Japan is costly as well as the little places in China as well as Taiwan could be flattering scuzzy. I&#8217;m not observant there is no scuzzy partial of the locale in Korea, though it is altogether improved place to be.</p>
<p>Hopefully we will find your tour up to Eastern Middle East as well as move behind the profitable hold up knowledge which will shift we forever.</p>
