Roughly Rp9.5 million at todays rates. Enough for very quiet living including a small house or apartment but with visa runs and medical not much left over.

When you consider that many Indonesians live on one million it does put things into perspective. My food bill alone for a month is 4 million!

Wow Jimbo, that's alot considering how cheap food is in Indonesia. How many people is that feeding? do you eat out in Western restaurants often?

Luchino, I would say 'yes you can, but...' You wouldn't have much left for extras, so you would need to make sure you had a bit put away somewhere for emergencies. Your lifestyle would be very modest, and you would not have a big sum for entertainment. So if you are the kind that wants to go to the bar and drink, and eat out in western restaurants, eat European food, it is not really enough. But if you want to live cheapely then you could do it for sure.

We also used to spend 3J + on cigarettes a month in Australia - glad we stopped too! 24th December 2003. That's over 170 Juta saved so far - enough for a block of land in Lombok.
