Cost of Living in Indonesia
Apa kabar semua?? Hope you’re fine.
Specify the cost of living of a country is difficult, it depends a lot on your life style, your habits and the place where you want to live.
Everybody knows living in Indonesia is cheaper than living in “western” countries, but how much is this “cheaper”?You can imagine that living in Jakarta will be more expensive than living in a small village, eating western food will be more expensive than eating local food, living in a villa with swimming pool will be more expensive than living in a 1 bedroom apartment and so on…
Anyway, let’s try to show some numbers in order to have an idea of what could be the cost of living in Indonesia.
