Vu Phuong Thao is known as the MC of many familiar programs broadcast on VTV such as "Love Moments", "Late Night Stories", "A Joy Every Day", "Beautiful 24/7", "Born from the Village"...

After more than 6 years pursuing the job of TV MC and being associated with many nicknames such as "Youngest MC of VTV", "VTV MC only 1.5m tall",... Phuong Thao has gained a place in the hearts of fans thanks to her soulful voice, fluent presentation ability and lovely face.

Most recently, she shared her "first achievement" that everyone dreams of.

First home at 25

Female MC suddenly revealed photos of 70m2 apartment²Newly purchased in Nam Tu Liem district, Hanoi. According to the owner, the total cost to own the house is 3.5 billion VND (of which 200 million is for interior design).

Although this is not the city center location, the traffic is not convenient, but in return, the internal landscape is very airy and spacious, with lots of green space and many amenities for residents. In addition, the cost of owning an apartment is also cheaper than in prime locations.

Phuong Thao said: "I like small but warm spaces, so I think the house doesn't need to be too big, just enough. I chose orange-brown tones to make the house feel cozy, with simple, youthful materials and designs to create comfort when returning after a tiring day at work."

The female MC's house was inspired by the wabisabi style. She herself likes warm, cozy tones. After much consideration, Phuong Thao and her husband agreed to paint the house orange-brown. She shared that the completion process took a lot of effort because there was a wall that had to be repainted many times because it could not be the desired milk tea brown.

With a budget of 200 million VND for interior design, she chose to order according to design to save money and chose mid-range materials.

Limit buying branded goods to invest in your home.

As an MC who regularly appears in public, Phuong Thao's job requires her to take care of her appearance. What few people know is that the girl born in 1997 has no interest in buying branded goods, expensive clothes, or expensive jewelry or cosmetics. "Most of the time, I am sponsored by brands and only use them for work purposes or only buy reasonable, truly necessary items," the MC said.

She said that living facilities and living space are the happiness that she strives for. That is also the reason and motivation for her to save up to buy a house.

Phuong Thao just got married in 2021. She and her husband are both young and have busy jobs, so they both prioritize using smart furniture to save time and energy. She said this is a worthy investment because technology appliances "not only give me a convenient living space, but also help family members feel less tired".

People often say "settling down, having a career". MC Phuong Thao is no exception. She believes that when we have a stable place to live, we can feel secure to take care of our family and work. It can be said that this first house is an important milestone and has great meaning for her and her husband.

Get salary, first thing is to worry about paying debt.

Buying a house or a car is a dream for everyone, especially young people. Phuong Thao is no exception. The female MC revealed that she had dreamed of owning her own house since her first years of working when she was only 22 years old. At the age of 25, she finally achieved success.

MC Phuong Thao said that she had proactively saved some money from the beginning, but it would probably take a long time to earn enough money to buy a house. Therefore, she decided to borrow more money to buy a house. "Of course, having a debt will bring some pressure, but I turn it into motivation, into a goal to strive for to work harder. I just need to calculate reasonably and set deadlines to complete. For me, life always needs deadlines for myself to work effectively and live more meaningfully," the female MC said.

After buying a house, Phuong Thao had to "shoulder" an additional debt so her spending habits also had to change.

She said: "When you borrow money, the first thing you think about when you receive your salary is to pay off your debt, that's the harsh truth. Shopping is very rare, my husband and I only buy really necessary items with high usage value. Besides that, eating and daily living also have to plan spending more reasonably. For example, before I could eat out 5 times a week, now I only do it 2 times. Saving also makes me tend to a more minimalist, disciplined and tidy lifestyle."

After buying a house, the female MC learned a "hard-won" lesson: Having a house at a young age may be stressful, but it is a necessary type of stress in life. The important thing that everyone needs to keep in mind is to consider loans and calculate reasonable costs, do not put too much pressure and constraint on yourself, because a relaxed spirit creates a happy life./.
