Many Indonesian member post the cost of living in Indonesia, but I am really sure it depends on what city and village you live in. I ever heard my friend who lives in Vilage can live with only $100 a month. that's cost an impossible thing today when we live on city where that $100 can spend at all only 3 days. I have experience even been economical after I don't have a job 10 years ago, I just can live with only $50 a month. I don't rent a home for sleep, because I sleep in the mosque after that I clean it and and get a free breakfast from Donatur. So with this situation, cost for live is just a number, to realize it is depend on how you manage it.
Everyone has their own way of managing the needs they need in a month and also expenses in the village are of course very different from expenses in the city, because if we live in the city of course we have to think about how to rent a place to live and also the cost of necessities is high unlike in the village We can still get our basic needs cheaper than in the city and if we can manage our finances well there will certainly be no difference between living in the city and living in the village.
