Especially if you refer to the example you gave with $1500/week, that is already very extraordinary for those who live in Indonesia.
Right, but remember that the $1500/week is for 5 individuals who aren't a family and presumably wouldn't be pooling their money together for anything aside from house expenses. But your point about the cost of living in Indonesia is well-taken, and I appreciate you relaying your experience with what sounds like living off the proceeds of a sig campaign. I know there have to be quite a few members here who do just that, but I'll be damned if I know who they are.
The assumption is that $1500/week is more than enough to pay for 5 people in a house including house rent and others, maybe I have income like that I can invite 5 people every weekend to go on vacation to the beach or other places in my area because of the income $1500/week is enough, especially in Indonesia, which is very cheap in spending.
I wish I had that kind of income. LOL

I will quit my job and start a business in real world trading.
Can be a little investment
Other rental costs are met.
All basic needs must certain met.
Of course, from income it doesn't have to be in waste but starting a business will be better, because $1500 is per week, how about a month's income?
