Same. I also come from Indonesia, specifically on the island of Sumatra. I myself am currently still unemployed and have no income from work. However most monthly incomes in my area are also around $150-200 as this is the minimum wage standard.
When talking about the cost of living, of course each region is different. Moreover, living in a small town means the cost of living will be cheaper than in a big city. Lombok is a tourist area, of course the cost of living is slightly higher. However, what is clear is that in each region in Indonesia the cost of living is definitely different.
Cost of living in my area:
1. House rent (including electricity and jet pump bills): $35
2. Transportation cost is about $10 - $15
3. The food was probably about the same, about $50-65 for three meals a day with standard meals and we also got hot tea.
