Transport
I try not to take taxi which i considered not cheap.
Bus is 6k dong n Grabcar/bike is much cheaper than taxi.
Anyway bus is available to n fro from the airport to D1 from 5k to 30k if u don't have bulky luggage.
Medications n shopping are also cheap like prices in Philipines.
My last trip of 20 days in HCM total spending excl airfare was less than S$800 including some mongering activities.
So i would say abt $1.2k per month for me to retire comfortably in HCM. Cost will be even lower if i rent an apt over hotel.

Since my travel expenses are covered by my company I will take either taxi or grab.
As for food.. since not covered, I will go where the locals eat and it's really dirt chea and really nice
some food stalls in D1 n D4... 1-2USD one big bowl of pho ga or pho bo include a cup of ice tea. No need to order extra drink and big plate of extra vegetables.
