    Yes the suburban parts of Malaysia are cheaper and as developed as Kuala Lumpur.

    Always appreciate your cost of living videos and seeing the different options folks choose. As you say, different people make different choices. Looks like you had a good time in KL, which is the point of going places and experiencing things.

    You guys can easily cut down on rental expenses by 40% if you chose the accommodations located in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, such as Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Damansara and many more. All these cities and satelite townships are accessible via public transportation. Another area you can save a great deal would be to eat at local kopitiam instead of those high-end cafes.😊✌️

    Great video, while our lifestyle is a bit different our expenses in other categories would like Make up for those you wouldn't have. So great video to compare if one wants to travel without watching the budget, which is awesome as it's no fun to keep watching the pennies instead of focusing on having fun, specially if you can afford it. Great video!!

    What a wonderful video. I think the cost of living in KL, Malaysia is still affordable. However, having said that, there's a trend of rising cost of living in KL, Malaysia. Wow, around USD3.5K for a month's stay in KL, that's very expensive.

    to live in Malaysia, don't go for middle metropolitan. but go for outskirt location but must near the LRT or MRT station. Just like a long the area to serdang, to kajang, or to sungai buluh for cheaper rental. Besides house rental, its also cheap market around the housing area.

    You & your partner chosen to live in the most expensive location in Malaysia=KLCC Area.
    IF you choose to live 15km -20km radius from KLcity centre (which is well connected by MRT/LRT),
    it will cut the cost of living by at least 50%.😊

      Typical angmoh spending. They always compare prices to their country and think its cheap so they spend a lot. Same shit happen in Bali as well.
      But in the end of the day they feel happy because they feel it's value for their money compared to their own country.
