recently returned from Bali Indonesia. Have purchased land with my father(retired in Bali) and just completed our home.
How many people currently spend part of the yr abroad or intend to retire overseas? I know that venturing "outside the box" is a tad bit risky or adventurist for most. So many of my freinds spend there whole life in North America and never aspire to experience new cultures. What a shame. My goal is by 35 to be able to live for 6 months in indonesia on my investment income. The price of living in western Canadas is becoming unbearable. Price of living in Bali is extremely appealing. Our maid works four hrs per day 6 days a week for a salary of roughly 45 american dollars per month. Monthly grocery bills maybe one hundred dollars which includes fresh fish, tons of fruit, western staples, beer etc. Property taxes on one hectare of land 50 dollars, satelite tv(hbo, espn.abc bbc ) 35 dollars per month the list goes on. Just curious how many would enjoy life outside of north america for half of the yr or longer...
