A couple thousand dollars a month?
Sure no problem.... Buy a big fridge and go shopping for western food
in Denpasar sometimes... Basic daily needs in Singaraja...
There is plenty of opportunity to do something usefull with your money in the north. Everybody is aware of the difficulties Bali is going through due to some "problems", but still many foreigners want to live here.

Living like a Raja
This is good! A monthly budget of RP 17 million. Let’s see how we can spend it, assuming the dwelling is paid for:
Monthly RP budget: 17 million, or about US 2,000
1) Three sinuous and young lovely pembantus: 300K each….900K total
(I’m thinking one for dad and two for you)
2) Five bottles of good vodka a 130K each….650K total
3) Daily food (at home), enough to gorge on and wish you had added on that vomitorium, 50K a day ….1,500,000
4) Electric….50K a month, keeping all light on all night
5) Water, (this depends on well or city) but surely no more than another 50 K, unless you and your penbantus bathe together more than three times a day.
6) Bribes, police, cranky neighbors, things like like…..100K
7) Necessities…you know, soap, toilet paper, clothes, clean underwear, toothpaste, etc., etc. about another 300K…buying only the best.
8) Wine. Mahal here. At 130K a bottle, say one a day, ….3.9million
OK, where are we now? Hell, we’re only at 7.450 million, or less that one thousand bucks. Shall we just double? Six pembantus?
Or, as Bert suggested, the extra might be used for local projects, ideas, fun helping others, medical supplies, and otherwise making your presence in Bali as enjoyable for your Balinese hosts as it is for you.
Good luck with your move.

You and Your Dad Will Do Well
This is especially true, given your budget, in the Lovina area where prices in general are less than in Ubud or in South Bali. I've been here as a resident for five years. My monthly budget? I honestly don't know, but it's a whole lot less than it was in NYC
Bert lives up your way, as does "Ringo" and of course Gloria. They all can give you excellent tips as to where to shop, good places to eat out, etc. etc. Bust most importantly they can provide important information on how to integrate with your local village and banjar, and what's expected from you to keep and maintain a harmonious life.
Good luck on your move.
