Hi, I have looked through lots of threads about the cost to live in Bali, but it is hard to come up with a realistic budget. I can see a few decent family prices, but again it's hard to determine what I should budget for depending on location too.
I a single male, plan to live quite cheaply by eating local food and not living an extravagant life.
I plan to base myself somewhere near or on the edges of Seminyak. I will hire a scooter so don't need to be too close to the action and hoping to find just an average 1-2br place to rent for 6-8months (realise I may have to pay a 12month lease).
Going out wise, I would plan to go out 1-2nights per week and again heading to average places and trying to drink cheaply (i.e. no big sepnds at cocktail bars charging near aus prices).
My business will pay for phone, internet, gym etc so I do not need to include those prices.
Could anyone advise how much per week I should budget for with current costs of living? One of the reasons I'm interested in Bali is to save money so very keen to get a better idea.
My initial thoughts were it may be under 280-350max $aud, but after different bits of info I've read I'm worried that may not be enough.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
