    I see you have both decided to take a break from more CZcams videos and dedicate more time to each other and just enjoying your life in Sanur, which is awesome. This video is enlightening, a full cost breakdown, but obviously including a lot of one off expenses which wont come year on year. I say good on you, and how lucky you both are to have got to this point where you can enjoy this amazing experience in your lives. Enjoy the beautiful villa surrounds you have created (damn, less than $100 at the garden centre, in NZ you would be lucky to get a single ornamental plant for that). I was not a subscriber however did love your CZcams posts. All the best.

    What a wonderful life to live, your videos are so enjoyable. My wife and I watched all of them before arriving on holiday here on the 8th Jan. We stayed in Seminyak with family for 10 days and explored from there before arriving in Sanur on the 18th. We are here for 5 nights but thinking of spending our last 4 nights here too as we love Sanur. We are staying south Sanur and might head up north for the last 4 days. Beach day today watching live music which is staged near Genius Cafe and get some sea swimming in, can't believe we've only swam in pools so far apart from a snorkel trip in Nusa Dua. Anyway, keep up the awesome videos, they are informative, humorous and inspiring.

    Hey folks, thanks for the informative video. I'm also looking at retiring in Bali, but before I go and study you're spreadsheets, let me just say I think you are both well better off than most of us, and it's not going to matter where you live. They way you look and connect with each other is worth more than any Rupiah or Aussie dollar savings that I know of. All the best for the future for you two, and look forward to having a Bintang on the beach with you one day.

You appear to be well advised and because you are both so very confident you have carved out such a beautiful and brilliant lifestyle….. even annual 40,000 is in my estimation very very reasonable when you look at the big picture… I now have a ballpark number to estimate what it would cost nowadays to have a leap of faith… yes it may cost less for me for this and that, but it may cost more for other “incidentals” that I never considered….. Spread sheet “control” gives peace of mind that’s for sure…. May I thank you so much for sharing such valuable real insight into persistent Bali “wannabe’s” dreamer like myself

    If you have 10 billion IDR (AU$ 977,293.22)
    Then you use it to buy government bonds with interest of 6.4% per year.
    Then in a month you will get interest of IDR 47,435,465.75 (IDR 569,189,589.00 per year))

    You saved a lot of money getting the long lease. I was just watching another Australian retired couple looking at 2 and 3 bedroom villas around Sanur and they were saying you wouldn’t get anything under 28,000 per year!

    We looked around at accomodation in that area and the closest we could find to the same standard and size to here in Perth WA was around $20-30K.

Thanks for the breakdown, very interesting.

      It’s easy and hard 😉 It can be hard to decide what to do, whether to sell up everything, where you want to live, how you’ll support yourself.
      But we think it’s totally worth the headache that can come with setting up! Moving to another country requires planning!
      Living in Bali is not like a long holiday… unless you have unlimited funds 🤣🤣

    $144.23 a week rent. Yes, I already had the calculator out before you mentioned it, Berg. I'm on Bergs side again Kim, cricket on Kayo is paramount. I think it balances out with the lashes, etc. Great insight to your budget, and I think $40,000 is very reasonable considering what you spent it on. You didn't go without much, either.

    Thank you what a great informative video. We are thinking about retiring to Bali and it would seem we could live like lords over there on 50% less than it costs us a year to live in Oz. My only concern is that I am just finishing treatment for breast cancer and the annual check ups I would need but I guess we could do that when we return to Oz which we would do annually. Before you extended your lease what were you paying for the rental?
