That’s a lot cheaper too live than here in Australia.The average shop per week is about $180 and getting worse .You’re definitely in the right place right time .All the best for the future.
I stayed in Sanur for all of March and kept a spreadsheet of beachside dining for two adults, breakfasts and lunches (including the odd beer at lunch) but never dinners as we ate in our hotel room, and everything that we bought from Grand Lucky supermarket. I then cross referenced the beachside dining to comparable meals at beachside locations on Australia's Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, and the Grand Lucky purchases to Woolworths online in Brisbane calculating cost per millilitre or cost per gram etc. (surprisingly almost everything was the same brand name but packaging sizes differed) at the average exchange rate of IDR 10,000 to the AUD and the Sanur prices averaged out at 58.5% of Brisbane's prices - the only thing that cost (slightly) more was a L'oreal shampoo (not mine, I'm bald and spend my shampoo money on beer :). Of course the excessive cost of air fairs, rents and visas etc. now blows those savings out of the water but longer term residents of Bali (I lived there for all of 2021 and half of 2023) may not have realised how much Australia's prices have increased.
That's the perfect retirement for us, 10 months in Australia and 2 months in Bali. After living in Darwin for 5 years we couldn't go back to tropical heat full time. We love our 4 seasons.
Hi guys Just watched your video. My hubby being an IT person mentioned why doesn't Berg use the Google suite of apps, such as Google sheets as it is free instead of Microsoft excell
Geeze guys Bali is quite pricey I think for frugal Feb that’s a bit of money if it doesn’t include rent in comparison to Thailand, Bali is more expensive
Very good budget. Even people who are on a pension could live in Bali. (Eating more at home) Is there a Nespresso shop in Sanur or you buy from Nespresso Jakarta? 👍👍
Very informative Just wondering, normally there is a cheaper life time key to use Microsoft, to be used in Indonesia only? Also in excel, IDR can be replace with symbol Rp, or no symbol at all. Keep enjoying life in pulau Dewata, I'm envy with you both
Can I ask you guys how you are surviving in Bali on $1300 Aud per month? There is no way you can do this in Australia on a Australian pension which is approximately $ 1240 per fortnight. Are you self funded retirees?
Wow! That's awesome. I can't believe that's all you spent in a while month. That's what houses cost to rent in Sydney. My husband and I paid 2k AUD for flights over in a few weeks. I can't wait to retire. I only have 25 years to go lol 😆 😂 🤣. Thanks for another great vid guys. Love ya work as always ❤️
