my comment
sorry but i think that is a wrong perspective.
with 5 million salary here in bali- you do nothing but survive- or at least try to.
5 million salary is a normal salary for a local manager or assistant manager but they make additional business with suppliers etc so they can reach 10 or 15 a month.
for expats, i would say all under 20 million is not allowing you to live normally.
a house is approx 100 million a year, depending on the location.
health insurance, kitas( if you pay on your own), grocery products( milk, yoghurts, bread, butter etc) is expensive and generally living costs in bali rise every month.
its an illusion that expats can live for 5 million a month here, sp-ecially if they have no family they can connect to and having a house and transport already provided.
therefore 30 million is a good salary which allows you to live in a decent way with all saftey you need,
kind regards
