UK family lives on 1000 pounds a month in Bali

[spicyayam]

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.

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 living 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....

Why is it that everything bad that happen to Hardy's is MY fault?

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

was clearly a joke as I imagine anyone could live very well, almost anywhere, on US$10,000 a month.
