UK family lives on 1000 pounds a month in Bali

Sometimes I wonder how much truth there is in these articles and would love to see the house they rented for that amount. “Our rent here in Bali costs £300 per month and the house has a swimming pool and is five minutes from the beach. "We will have lived for £1000 for the whole month, by eating local food and cooking at home on our one small gas hob ring. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/family-moves-from-south-london-to-tropical-paradise-of-bali-where-they-enjoy-comfortable-life-for-a3693581.html

According to their blog they are staying in a homestay in Sanur with a kitchenette.

Well, I don't know about them, but when I was in Bali, I used to live very well with US$10,000/month!:):)

They aren't [B]living[/B] in Bali...they're on a cheap holiday! The visas alone for 5 + mother will quickly eat up their £5,000 savings.

Tintin hasn't been in Bali for a while to spend his $10,000 a month...that's why Hardy's went bankrupt....:D

I also stopped buying their 2 litre boxes of Hatten Rosé when they put up the price. It's very clear now that we 'big spenders' kept supporting Hardys and, by deserting them, they went bankrupt....QED.;)

Hmmmm? Not exactly a reply to my question. Perhaps you need to pay a return visit to upgrade your credentials? You will be amazed at the changes over the last 30 years.

FWIW I thought tintins post #3 ..."[I]Well, I don't know about them, but when I was in Bali, I used to live very well with US$10,000/month![/I]:):) was clearly a joke as I imagine anyone could live very well, almost anywhere, on [COLOR=#ff0000]US$10,000[/COLOR] a month.
