Always here for your content.❤ Living below one's means is definitely the key to saving. I bit myself in the foot by signing with an agency that pays peanuts (even for a tier 3 city) so i had to adjust to living below my means real quick. I always feel like I've spoken to a friend after watching your videos.
Thank you for being encouraging and realistic.
Please share the agency's name and also what was your salary ?
You are too kind. Thank you. ♥
I hope you're getting out of that contract soon. 🙏🏾
It’s probably English First
@@iambloopy nope. Starts with an I, ends with a C
This is really giving me a realistic picture of what I can expect regarding saving in China, and to have a plan B.
Thank you Nomfundo!
You're welcome. 😊
That is so true cc our background plays a big role in our financial decisions. Sometimes we have to tie ups some lose ends before we can start living our best lives❣
100% ♥
Guuuuurl, I just moved here two months ago and I completely agree with you. Not a lot of people here have a Plan B when they get home. So most are forced to just be here and teach.
Which is very unfortunate, hey.
Taobao will have you on a chokehold if you’re not careful. Black tax will drain your soul also😂😂
Yeap 😂
You're such a gorgeous human
Thank you. 😊
Thanks for sharing..I also couldn't save a dime in my first year cos of responsibilities back home and also I had that thing of everything is cheaper in China
LOL! It's a very rude awakening, shem. 😂

Currently in SK and looking to relocate…but SK is a reaaaaal scam!!!👀 aaaand its super expensive!!!😩 I’m hoping China is better!🥺
China is definitely better once you’re settled.
I'm literallllyyyy in the process of leaving cause even though I live in a small city it is still expensive even for me!!!
@@zee7922 don’t even mention it. I’m literally in what they call rural, though it’s a small city too. And chyle every month I feel like I’m unemployed!😭 Korea is super expensive!

아녕하세요 Mahlatse from Pretoria
Wow great insight🙏 I have been trying to go overseas since 2018 but I'm working minimum wage to pay tuition then get my certificate, only then next year i might relocate hopefully. learning Asian languages too on my own
Take Care👍
Can you please highlight us on the different ties in china.which places should someone choose if coming to china and the salaries
I’m just sat here nodding and saying amen to the financial burden due to guilt and bills back home! How often do you fly back to SA?
😊
Before the vid, I'd planned to come back at least once a year. Hopefully visiting sometime this year.
Hie Nomfundo what angency can i use to get to china
Hi Nomfundo. Have you heard of Shane English School in China or do you know of anyone who has taught there? I would like more info and would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Thank you for your honesty.
In South Korea. Im not a fan of my Hagwon but I am currently saving a little over 10k a month.
I heard China pays double what we earn here. I found this enticing because I figured I'd save double. Are they lying? Do y'all really earn more than us here in SKorea?
You're welcome and yes, we get paid more in China...very subjective, though.
@NomfundoMbatha last question!
(Sorry)
Does everyone get the 6 Weekes scroll holidays or is it just the public schools like here in Korea?
We only get 10 days a year plus the mercy of national holidays.
How do holidays work there?
Please go through the ESL section on my channel. It will help a LOT. @@girliGuess
over 10k A MONTH?? usd or a different currency???

Hey Nomfundo just stambled on your page , great content thank you. Just a quick question I heard u say you paid for ur BA while in China. Did u complete it before or while in China ?
Hello, Jabulile. Thank you.
I continued my BA when I moved to China. Also did my Honours while being here.
Oh, that's great! CONGRATULATIONS Nomfundo👩🎓 I thought you had to have a completed degree already in order to teach English in China
@@tshiamosefike3672 Thanks. I finished my B.Ed while still living in South Africa. I was talking about my other degrees here.
Hi Nomfundo great content☺I just want to know if you have a child, how possible is it to relocate with him. I mean in terms of the legalities involved like do they allow you to come with the child and the schools that side how expensive are they?
Thank you. Yes, you can relocate with your family .
Hey Nomfundo. I've seen in your vlogs that you're saved. I wanted to ask where one can get a spiritual home (church) here in China. TIA
Hello, there are a few churches in Shanghai, but I've switched to a virtual church for personal reasons.
@@NomfundoMbatha May you please share the link. Thank you so much for the quick response.
Thank you for touching on this topic. I've heard that it's difficult to transfer money from China to a South African bank account, is this true?
You're welcome.
No, it's not hard to transfer money.
Hi, great content.
What is the tax rate in China?
Thank you. Tax rates vary. Please Google for precise figures.
I'm planning to move to china soon to work. Are there expat groups I can join online?
I hear there are some on Facebook.
Does your school not pay for your rent deposit when you get to the country?
And rent*
Good question. My school covered it
Nope. Unless you have free accommodation. Some schools give out loans to new teachers, though. At least in Shanghai...
Did you leverage fapian tax? Is it worth doing?
I don’t understand your questions?
@NomfundoMbatha i spelled it wrong, it is fapiao tax in china. the practice of paying taxes real time and submitting invoices monthly. do you do that?
What agency did u use to get to China
Hello. Check my channel. That’s gonna help answer most of your ESL related questions.
Did they exaggerate the dress code at work?😂😂😂😂😂 I hate it when people do that hey, just don’t mention something especially dress code if it’s not that deep.
They did. Semi formal what what. You get here bagqoka ophaqa. 💀😂
Hello dear. How do i become an online English teacher
