haha no way!! It would have been great to meet you... maybe somewhere a bit further (and cheaper). Enjoy your travels!!

Always appreciate your cost of living videos and seeing the different options folks choose. As you say, different people make different choices. Looks like you had a good time in KL, which is the point of going places and experiencing things.

You guys can easily cut down on rental expenses by 40% if you chose the accommodations located in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, such as Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Damansara and many more. All these cities and satelite townships are accessible via public transportation. Another area you can save a great deal would be to eat at local kopitiam instead of those high-end cafes.😊✌️

Live in the suburban area, Malaysia suburban is one of the best in the world, not lifting myself though but been in Germany, and all over Europe

very adaptable city to live in hopefully it felt like home to you

You guys living life!!!!me and wife just get back from Thailand (Phuket) first time in Asia, sadly not so impressed😖 street food not our thing I guess western restaurants definitely as good as USA but so so humid it’s crazy(may be that’s why we didn’t like it much) plus we live in Vegas it’s hot here but not 2-3% of humidity

Haha SE Asia can be very humid! They also have the best food though... It will be interesting to know where you go if you go back, maybe some of the options on our channel will inspire you

What a wonderful video. I think the cost of living in KL, Malaysia is still affordable. However, having said that, there's a trend of rising cost of living in KL, Malaysia. Wow, around USD3.5K for a month's stay in KL, that's very expensive.

@@tjandbtraveling No worries. As long as you guys have had a good time. 😀

You & your partner chosen to live in the most expensive location in Malaysia=KLCC Area. IF you choose to live 15km -20km radius from KLcity centre (which is well connected by MRT/LRT), it will cut the cost of living by at least 50%.😊

Not a surprise here most of foreigner visitors chose to stay in that area instead of going in other towns around kl

You can get a cheaper rent , try to explore more in KL area. Unlimited of options

I can survive on US$1,500 per person per month in Kuala Lumpur. (currency exchange rate US$1 = RM4.7)

What visa do you use?

Each is RM7400 per month.. that the average expenditure for mid range middle class Malaysian who earns around 8-9K a month

Thats around MYR 4k just for rent alone and MYR 2k for eating out. For your reference.

Kuala Lumpur is very strategic centre as a ‘base’ for digital nomads to travel to other Southeast Asia countries. With cheap flight price from Kuala Lumpur.

For our situation (which was far from the most cost-effective) I absolutely believe so

your 1 mth cost of living is like raising a family of 6 in KL that own 2 cars, house and send kids to schools/nursery etc etc.

Typical angmoh spending. They always compare prices to their country and think its cheap so they spend a lot. Same shit happen in Bali as well. But in the end of the day they feel happy because they feel it's value for their money compared to their own country.

Not going to Asia for European prices, not thanks.

Western tourist are not overcharge but most of them overspend in Malaysia because evething is cheap so they just love to spend their money in Malaysia...😂😂😂
