    Default Cost of Family Living

    Hi
    We're thinking of moving to Bali for a year or so and are wondering....

    Visa runs and insurances aside, what is the cost of fairly simple living? We're 2 young kids (pre school), 2 adults, living a simple life, perhaps somewhere in between local and expat life (nice house with internet but no fancy restaurants or clubs?). Would a range of 1200 - 1700 euros a month be enough? We would like to hang around at home and the beach and make a couple of trips around Bali. Any guidelines at to costs of such a life would be gladly received.
    Thanks1

    I think you should have no problem living on that sort of budget, it really depends on what you actually consider simple living. School for your kids if you already want them in school will probably be your biggest expense though.

    The figures you have quoted are probably adequate. The cost of living and in particular housing costs vary quite a bit. The north of Bali is much cheaper than the south for example.

    Internet is relatively expensive also and then you need to think about transport.
    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
