Bali on a Tight Budget - Living or Retire in Bali 

Thanks Murray, it's great to see the real Bali if you actually live there on a budget and not the Instagram model version of life in Bali.

Thx for this video outside of the touristic places. This is what real Bali looks like. Me and my (javanese) fiancé rent a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, living room with open kitchen in Sesetan for about 3300 usd per year.

This sparks an idea for a series of "Living in Bali" videos that you could do. Each episode could focus on a specific aspect or topic of what to do and what not to do, what to expect, what really happens and whatnot. It'd be great to see the amazing right down to the mundane aspects.

You are a good soul, sir! Keep it up, keep it real. For those of us seriously contemplating living in Bali, your videos are a wonderful, verifiable resource. 🙏

This reminds me of old Hawaii in the 1960s and 70s. Love it Love it. Love it

great video as always muzza, me and my bali missus of over 5 years rent a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom old style bali house with rooftop area 5 mins from the airport for $3,500 aussie dollars per year or about $290 per month,,this works out great for us as its only a 12 month lease so if there is a problem or we find a better house we are only locked in for 12 months, unlike multi year leases with villas

Thank you 🙏 for educating us on living in Bali 💜

THAKS MUZZA AND VIE..... LOVE THE VILLAGE ATMOSPHERE, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THATS GOS ON TO KEEP EVERY THING FLOWING..... AND NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS WITHOUT THE BANJAR BEING INVOLVED .... ie BEING PART OF THE PROCESS TO GET THINGS DONE OR APPROVED. AND A GOOD BANJAR ALWAYS LOOK AFTER THE INDIVIDUALS AND THE COMMUNITY THEY OVERSEE. REALLY LIKE THESE WALK ABOUTS MUZZA.

Hi Murray - I have a 2 x 2 double bed room each with shower & western toilet, Kitchenette / living room / large deck over looking a lovely garden. Back of Kuta up from The One Hotel. Had it since 2013 - 35 mill a year 😀

Already subscribed, another thumbs up mate. Keep up the great honest guides. Every vid i watch makes me want to come over and have a beer with you. Cheers.

Really enjoyed this video, so informative. Keep 'em coming!

Last time I was over in Bali before that pandemic shite I went for a wander one morning and ended up in a little warung where I decided to try a local breakfast had a massive plate of noodles mixed with veggies etc plus a decent sized chicken leg and a big glass of Ginger tea and nearly fell of my chair when asked for the bill and got showna calculator that showed 7000rp which at the time was maybe 70c aussie !

Great vidio, good to see someone taking about the real experience of living in Bali. Keep up the fantastic work mate .

We just loved this. Exactly the type of place in a village, we would stay. I can't wait to see more of these vlogs 😃

Pretty straight forward commentary Murray much appreciated.

Just got back from Bali - what a beautiful place, loved it ❤

Looking forward to seeing what’s next very interesting

I've been looking for these types of series videos for years . Have even tried to get family members to make them to no avail . Am looking forward to all the info !! 🙏

Love the updates, and education on bali ‘real’ living ❤️

I would love to see your mate's places and how they live too. I would insist on a western style dunny.

I love pepitos 🎉 especially jimbaran sidewalk..has a bar inside the grocery shop..genius❤

Thanks awesome job love your work

I love these local markets in SE Asia. This one is exactly the same as the one in our village in Thailand. Its fun to interact with the locals. In the UK you scan your own groceries and speak to no-one.

What a great video! Keen for more. Following your channel now.

Does look great to me, just the weather is so nice even the wet season wouldn't bother me because it's still warm. The best thing is it seems to be a pretty humble village not too many flash houses. It used to be considered rude to flaunt money by building huge ridiculous houses, now it's the norm in Australia, not to mention the stupid prices. Indonesia will certainly be on the list for places to retire when the time comes. Thanks so much for the videos they really help an old bloke.

Thank you for the great information.

Hey bro,been there with you my friend,glad Vie looks after you,and loves you so much,you are all about the people my friend,that's why we the people you know,love you guys so much,love you guys ❤

Thanks for sharing Muzza, while I was living there I use to also go to the local markets most mornings and get my vegetables and meat I found it very cheap indeed but also good quality

Very interesting video once again…keep up the excercise muzza.

Your wife is so cute mate!made me smile when she said the big man carries my groceries!thanks for sharing friend!

I like the interjections from your Mrs. 👍

Thanks Muzza for showing the real Bali similar to the Philippines in the province

Thx Muzza, much appreciated

Thanks for explaining murray,exactly the same or similar to Lombok living, prices,products etc.

Wow Muzza. I see where a lot of the plastic comes from. It’s a shame. Great show. You are always very enjoyable to watch. Cheers Billy.

Really good vlog cheers mate

Thanks mate from wellington.

Hi Murray, thanks for the tour. Very interesting. I Really loved Bali , unfortunately I was there six weeks before the bomb went off and a lot of people lost their lives. Not only Australian and a lot of other nationalities in the locals. The Balinese people are absolutely beautiful people are so friendly and helpful.

Excellent 😊

🎉amazing men that does a lot for the Australian community. Well done 👏

Loved this 😊thank you

Great video Mazza, how it’s really like in the village that I live on I’m there I really miss it. God bless you

HOW COULD YOU EVER GET MAD A VIE HAVING A GO AT YOU MUZZA? SHE DOES IT I SUCH A SWEET AND INNOCENT WAY ❤😮😊

Very informative and very helpful

Good vid muzz, I haven’t seen that other foreigner for ages around your street, been there for at least 20 years I know of, hope he’s still doing ok

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the insight, mate! Love the content/delivery - keep up the great work! Would love some insight into the mindset when you went there - was it a considered move or just f**k it, I'm going? Wish you all the best buddy!

THAT SHADE CLOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY WELCOME ADDITION 😊❤ I IMAGINE ITS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE, STOPS THE CONCRETE HEATING UP ???

Thank you 🙏

Hi Winnie & Damian. The weather is looking fairly mild!. Canggu looking busy as usual. Thanks folks .See you tomorrow!!!.

Good RU-vid presenter, well done!

Im in a vils that is amongst it all its great to go out and eat at rhe locals

Thx for the video, pity you didnt show us around inside your house , looks spacefull outside

Very similar to the Philippines 😊

Great video Murray

Go the ginger coffee. Yummy

The budget in Bali pet day is 130 Aussie for a two week million aire lol with change I recon

Some of the kosts, that mostly the locals live in have a shared bathroom. That's fun.. not. Nasi jingo is a common breakfast. Where I live the local market opens around 3 or 4am and there isn't much left by 5.30am.. We go up the road about 10 minutes by bike to the market that opens around 5.30am. Local supermarkets (grocer shop) is heaps cheaper than tourist supermarkets like Bintang or Pepitos.

Bali Belly Prevention on Holiday Vacation is a time to take a break from the hectic daily activities. So, don't you want the holiday moment to be messy because of Bali belly? As prevention, you can take the following steps while on vacation and culinary tours in Bali: Make sure to always wash your hands before eating and after going to the toilet Use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol to clean hands, if clean water is not available Brew tea or coffee with boiled water Use drinking water to wash fruits or vegetables If in doubt about drinking water, try to consume mineral water in sealed packaging Choose cooked processed food and eat it as soon as it is served Avoid eating raw foods, whether vegetables, fruits, or seafood, which are not guaranteed cleanliness Do not consume sauce left open on the restaurant dining table Avoid consuming dairy products and their unpasteurized preparations

Definition of Village: a group of houses and associated buildings, larger than a hamlet and smaller than a town, situated in a rural area.

Thanks for video muzza

👍👍👍

Beautiful people

Nice

Lol viv love your vlogs😁

We went to Dusa Nua yesterday and it was so so beautiful compared to Seminyak

Very interesting, Thank you MuZZa😎👍

Nice cus

50c breakfast. $3 lunch upper class . Eat meat before 12 oc veg evening or cooked in front of you. $1- to $2. All yummy

Muzza, I like that you distribute rice and noodles to the villagers, but, meat, fish and veggies are so important for good all round nutrition as well. Do you distribute fish to the folks at all?

Cheaper than Thailand?

Mus like ❤ YOUR site what do u do for travel and medical insurance,? Cheers

A can of coke costs $5 in oz? Thats crazy....yep 50c will get a coke in Indo

The Indos love their individual plastic packaging

Are there any places like this close to the beaches? It’s how I remember Bali in 1980. Are the Banjar accepting of an Australian living in their village when not married to a local?

Whick market is this called bapak Muzza

I’ve been having a hard time finding a place to rent a Harley. Is there a place that rents out Harleys, that you know of?

this makes me hate living in oz even more ,so expensive

How much was your spa set up

Do you wash your fruit and vegetables with bottle water?

Do they use refrigerators

Hi mate, is it possible to retire on $200 a week in bali inc accomodation

local food always cheap in bali my husband ant living in bali but hes not eat indonesian food hes only eat wersten food ,is it possibel can living in bali on budget .😁

honestly livin in Bali is not cheap anymore since after covid19,if i launch or dinner in shopping center i paid Rp 60.000

Is the rule still in place properties only can be registered by Indonesian citizens when people buy a property? Thanks in advance.

It's a bit sad with all the single use plastic

Hello Murray can I live there on My My social security 1200 a month?

HALO

Nasi bukas 50 c

Do you need an Asian spouse to pull it off, I would imagine so... Did they let you live thee because of improving the abandoned house, that must have figured into it greatly???

wot does bali do with all its soft plastic waste looks horendous in the shops everything in small plastic sachets.

7:10 looked a bit stinky

Are U the mule Muzza

I would never visit Bali let alone live there.

swastika ?

WHY would I or anyone in their right mind move to a foreign Country ( 3rd World ) and then live on a " TIGHT BUDGET" ?
