JAKARTA - Kristen Gray, a foreign citizen (WNA) from the United States (US) who has been living in Bali, Indonesia for a year, made the public excited by making Gray's invitation to move to Bali because the cost of living on the island of the Gods was cheaper.

Gray said the rent for the apartment he previously lived in in Los Angeles, USA, was $ 1,300. In rupiah, around Rp. 18.3 million. In Bali, he rented a beautiful and beautiful house. It costs US $ 40 to live in that place, or Rp. 5.6 million.

Is it true that the cost of living on the Island of the Gods is cheap? One of the things that can be used as a comparison for the Indonesian people is the opinion of Ashanty, a domestic artist. On the YouTube channel The Sungkars Family, Zaskia asked Ashanty questions about her living expenses and family while there.

Ashanty said that spending on food in Bali is more expensive than Jakarta. Even so, he added, it was because they chose food owned by foreigners. He even made a joke that his meal cost up to Rp. 900 million per month.

"If you eat, yes because here most of the delicious food has outsiders. Meanwhile, Aurel and I are the eater. Rp. 900 million is not one billion," said Ashanty jokingly because Irwansyah suspected that their expenditure had reached Rp1 billion per month.

"We think more about a place to eat than a place to stay in Bali," Aurel said. This fee is what makes their credit card bill swell.

Ashanty said, while in Bali the costs incurred were never calculated in too much detail. However, Ashanty said that sometimes she is surprised by the value of the charges on credit cards. "Sometimes it's not counted out, it's not budgeted either. It's just that sometimes the credit bill is like this," said Ashanty.
