but it's so cute and it matches my helmet so we'll just show you guys what you can get for 6 million
idr for the month to live in we think it's awesome in comparison to where we
were living before we moved to bali we were actually living in a garage
hey guys welcome back to another video i'm mandy and i'm lloyd and we're digital nomads currently
living in bali indonesia if you like travel based content or learning how to make money online
consider subscribing to our channel so one of the reasons we moved to bali in the first place was
cost of living we previously lived in byron bay which is probably the most expensive
city in australia so we wanted to just share a little bit about our experience of how much it
actually costs to live in bali and to live comfortably and we've crunched the numbers
and figured out that we're living off around about 50 a day that's us dollars very comfortably
yeah and we're living pretty comfortably i mean we're not really skimping on anything at all
no although we don't go out partying very much and stuff like that but we go to the gym we both
hire scooters we have a nice villa that we rent yeah all of our needs are met a lot more easily
for such a small amount of money compared to our lives back in australia and even previously in
canada yeah so we thought we would just share what exactly 50 a day gets you here in bali
and if you're wondering why we are talking in us dollars i've had a few people comment why
we don't refer to australian dollars basically nobody knows what australian dollars are except
australians yeah and we want to be able to communicate with everybody around the world the
us dollar is probably the most well-known currency in the world it's easy to convert to
so and a lot of people in bali actually refer to dollars as us dollars yeah we're going to
start off by showing you guys what scooters we have and how much they cost so we'll head
down to the garage now we'll take out the scooters and show you guys what we have
so these are our two scooters that we rent is my black beast and max
it's pretty um it's very dirty at the moment
needs a wash but yeah it's pretty good like it's feeling you
it's about 150 cc 155 i think it's really powerful it's really good on fuel it's two people easily
the only biggest scooter you can get from this is the x max and that's
pretty expensive and they're huge but um it's a pretty good scooter and this is mandy's
she loves this skirt i'm smiling behind the camera
it's so old and the brakes are so squealy but it's so cute and it matches my helmet
she could have got a new silver one for the same price but she wanted this one
it's older like it sounds like [ __ ] but it just looks cool i like it
i can't deny it actually it is a pretty good scooter i mean for the price 750 000 a month
that's really anything so that's very cheap um so between the two scooters we're only spending
about two million a month in comparison to having a car back home nothing and as i said fuel is like
fifty thousand for mine to fill it up and from andy's it's like 30
000 to fill it up hers lasts the whole month because she doesn't ride as much
mine lasts me about two weeks so the fuel crisis hasn't got us here
i was just talking to the guy who we got fuel off
and i was asking him about fuel prices and whether or not they've gone up and he was saying
they haven't um i think he was saying if you go to like one of big fuel stations like a pertamax
the price is a little bit more expensive but as you saw those little bottles that you get
10 000 idr so it's usually about four or five of those to fill up my buyer and the price hasn't
changed at all despite the fuel crisis going on around the world we've managed to skip it somehow
so we'll just show you guys what you can get for 6 million idr for the month to live in we
think it's awesome in comparison to where we were living before we moved to bali we were
actually living in a garage that was about 1600 a month yeah australian um so this is much better
yeah and it's about i don't know a third of the price it's not a private villa but
it's pretty good still and it's got a pool and everything you need shared kitchen so
we'll give you a little tour and just show you what you can get for just under 6 million idr
so
all right so this is the room
got pretty much everything you need i think bed's awesome got a fridge
safe room for all these stuff nice big comfy bed i think it's a kingdom queen maybe maybe queen
let's go to work spots we've got a desk for our working um obviously there's so many other spots
you can sit out outside which is great this has everything we need we're pretty simple
um so it definitely does the trick the funny thing about bali is you can spend as much as you want or
pretty much as little as you want on everything so there's a very wide range of um selection for
whatever budget you have but um this will suit us for the next month hey guys we're just going to
take a quick break to tell you all about today's video sponsor skillshare skillshare is an online
learning community with thousands of inspiring classes for anyone who loves learning and wants
to explore their creativity and learn new skills we've been using skillshare for a few months now
and we recently used one of their courses to start our brand new podcast that we just
actually launched last week yeah we found nikayla matthewsakomi's course on how to start a podcast
so helpful and it helped us launch in just under a day we went from knowing nothing about how to
record or launch a podcast to watching her course and in the same day we're able to
launch our podcast to the public if you're interested in making a career pivot or up leveling
your skills in your current role the first 1000 people to use the link in the description will
receive a one month free trial of skillshare and with that being said let's get back to the video
yeah it's probably better than downstairs because we've got
here to chill the breeze here it's pretty hot
it's so good it's like a home-cooked meal if you choose whatever you want as you can see i've got
so much food here that's so delicious and a cost for two of us plus drinks um 90 000
and it's really good
what do you got there
i crave it now
so we didn't include this in our budget
but it's happy hour and um as you can see everyone's down the beach watching the sunset
yeah every night so every now and then we come down here and have a couple of beers
so this is one of our favorite spots to eat um taco casa in changu there's one in ubud as well
but they do really good tacos they're massive yeah and it's only i believe 65 000 for three tacos
which is more than enough for us we don't do this all the time usual just a bit of a rung but um
it's taco tuesday guys you gotta understand as you can see we've splurged a little bit as far
as having a couple of beers and eating out at a western restaurant but it's still so cheap yeah
see if you can eat it i don't even know which end to tackle
that's just one taco too there's three of them
i just love food so much
i heard this thing that that someone's like mexican brand asks them why westerners always
turn their head to eat tacos and i do with it how do you not turn your head when eating a taco
so as you can see that was a pretty standard day for us yesterday and we spent just under
27 that included breakfast lunch and dinner we actually eat our breakfast at home we do grocery
shopping once a week and that averages out to be about three dollars a day it also included
both of our scooter hire for the day and fuel as well and if you factor in accommodation it
actually works out to be about 13.73 per day one thing we didn't touch on in there was actually our
gym membership so i go to yoga and lloyd goes to mma for our memberships we factored in the prices
which averages about out to 5.81 per day so i also go to the barber once a month
and mandy goes to the beauty salon once a month as well and when you average
that out per day it comes to about just over a dollar 30 per day so if you include everything
all our meals breakfast lunch and dinner accommodation scooter higher gym yoga beauty salon
and the barber absolutely everything it works out to just under 48 per day which is pretty
good we're super comfortable and obviously you can definitely spend more than that be more luxurious
than us or even go way cheaper as well but this is how we don't feel we have to give anything up
and live a comfortable lifestyle where we can focus on our work and live a very happy life
yeah it really comes down to how much your budget is if you want to spend more
you can easily spend more get a nicer place nicer motorbikes things like that yeah um maybe
go to nicer restaurants but we feel like this is a pretty standard cost of living if you're
gonna do it on the cheap end but not too cheap yeah so we just wanted to make a video like this
because before we were coming we were actually looking for this information so we're just trying
to make it helpful for anyone else that's looking to move to bali or wanting to come here so we're
just trying to create videos for our previous selves yeah and probably one of the hardest things
to figure out when you're trying to come here is your monthly budget if you want to come for
an extended period of time how much money do you actually need so this should give you a pretty
good idea of that and remember this is for two people as well yeah so if you're coming here
on your own definitely going to be a lot cheaper we hope you have found this video helpful at all
