I have friends who live on like 350 a month it’s possible I don’t think i could but hey everyone is different. i spend between 1200-2000 a month depending on activities 2000 is if im just out way too much and throw in a trip somewhere. You can find local houses in local areas for like 150 a month won’t have western comforts but its there
@@ZyrainVDW yeah I was surprised to then i went to there house it was pretty decent honestly great environment in ubud not in the tourist areas it just didn’t have ac and was dated but she leased the place for 5 years for me i would have fixed it up more but she liked it how it was and had a office bed room and 2 bathroom joglo style . I also have a friend who had a similar place on bingin with amazing views that she leased for long term and was paying 500 a month when all her neighbors are going for like 400 a night lol . Only reason i know because me and my friends rented the place next door and it was 450 per night during covid lol i can’t imagine how much it is now
i just saw the rain season is from novermber to avril and nearly no tourists there , thats what the internet is saying ... is that right or is it just 1-3 days a week rainy and the rest still nice weather ? would be interesting for me to know , im from europe so i dont want to go in the european summer to bali thanks for answering in advance
@@infernumsnipez594 Definitely not true anymore that there's no tourists😂 I wish! But yeah usually it's still nice weather in the morning and mid day and more rainy in the afternoon. But can be weeks of just rain ans cloudy all the time. It's a bit different every year!
For a $600pm budget, spending $300-450 on rent would seem to be terrible budgeting. Are there any simple but clean and decent enough studios/rooms for $100-150?
You need atleast $10 a day for general living costs food transport etc if you can rent somewhere $300 a month all in that’s $600. then you got visa fees and health insurance. $700 a month it’s doable but you are existing not living.
You posed a question in the title, and based on the content I guess your answer is no. $400 guesthouse, $70 scoopy and gas, $30 visa. So you have just enough for 1 warung meal and 1 coconut per day.
@@suenogyal it’s best to contact a visa agent they can give you up to date info and give you many options I used a b211 but I don’t think that is the current best method
Wow it's amazing to see the reality of the affordable lifestyle in Bali! All I hear online that Bali is not cheap anymore which clearly isnnot the whole truth😍
dude, 600$ in bali is more than enough. the basic salary in bali around 150-200$ per month (please ask their worker salary in beach club, accomodations, restaurant etc)
How can someone make such a stupid and ridiculous statement? As a European, you don’t go to Indonesia with the mindset of living like an Indonesian who works in a club and earns 150 euros. What kind of absurd comment is that? You clearly didn’t think at all when you typed that.
@TQ481 hey there, balinese here. our basic salary (based on government rules) here is around 150 $ (3 mill rupiahs). sounds stupid? ofc, that's the truth. that's why we work abroad or remote to earn more salary to make our living and in here 600$ per months is average manager level salary.
@@Each-h2z 600USD is nothing for a western person in Bali, as accommodation is already AT LEAST 3.5m - 6.0m (depending on the area). You cannot compare your Balinese salary with a western person, as most Indonesians live in properties from their families and eat much much cheaper. Just in general, daily life and spending is very different.
No, you can’t live on 600 $ a month. Just your coffee costs $2.50. If you drink one coffee every day, or let’s say for 30 days, that’s $75 just for coffee. On top of that, you’ll spend at least $1 per day on water = 30$ . Accommodation costs at least 400 euros if you stay in a hostel. You’ll pay at least 100 $ for a scooter on top Gas 30$. You’ll pay at least 100 $ for a gym membership. Then there’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let’s assume each meal costs 3 $ per portion-that’s 10 $ a day - Over 30 days, that’s an additional 300 $ And you’ll want to do activities too, Club, Adventure. So, 600 $ NEVER doesn’t work at all.
@@TQ481 There's cheap coffee you don't need to go to a beach club every day to drink it🙈 Why would you spend money on water when it's included in the guesthouse? And why you're listing prices that are not the cheaper options?😂
@@JooseTheNomadMan, a number of hate comments! 🤣. I'm from Malaysia. I know how this works too. People just need to do extra research. There ARE cheaper options! 🤣🤷🏻♂️
@@JooseTheNomad What are we even talking about here? You’re creating content for Europeans, not for Indonesians or Vietnamese people. Of course, it’s obvious that a European maintains a certain standard of living. And yes, there’s water in the guesthouse, but you also know that at 35 degrees Celsius, you’re drinking at least 2-3 liters of water a day and not spending the whole day in the guesthouse. So, you’re guaranteed to spend at least 1 euro per day on water from some stand or shop. The minimum price for a scooter is 100 euros, maybe down to 80 at best. Especially in Canggu, it’s significantly more expensive than the rest. If we were talking about a less central part of Bali, maybe. But in Kuta, Seminyak, or Canggu? Come on. I’m not going to tell you that you can cover accommodation, food, drinks, sports, and activities with 600 euros. You know it doesn’t work, and I know it doesn’t work. It’s great that you want to create content, but please stay realistic. You’re making content for Europeans, not for Asians.
@@TQ481 Have you heard of water bottles you can fill and take with you when you go around?🙈 And why you think $100 is minimum for scooter? Where are you getting this information😂
@@TQ481 And what's your point? I presented a real life examples throughout the whole video, nothing else. So how can you say "stay realistic". How much more realistic can I be?🙈
600 in pandemic time was amazing lol . But his video is very accurate there are guest house in the center of canggu that cost 350 a month I know because I’ve stayed there recently and the very first guest house I lived in in berawa during the pandemic right at the shortcut was 225 a month they now charge around 400 a month I just texted them on WhatsApp to get my friend a place for 2 months so it’s definitely still places for good prices
Hello, I need to point something out to you. What you’re presenting here just doesn’t work. I’m from Indonesia myself, and I can tell you that you can’t live in Canggu on 600 $. The costs, which have skyrocketed due to tourists, simply cannot be covered with 600 &. Especially Europeans expect a certain standard. No one wants to live in a wooden hut 10 km away from any shopping street or the beach. Scooters, food, drinks, and activities all cost money. 600 $ is definitely not realistic. I’m really sorry, Joseph. Great videos in general, but this just doesn’t add up at all.
@@Ninalouiseinspirationvideos What doesn't add up? I gave real life examples through the whole video? And the title is asking the question not saying that it's possible. Obviously you can't do much with a low budget but you can still do it if you really want. I've been asked to make a video about $600/month so I made it..
