    I see you have both decided to take a break from more TH-cam videos and dedicate more time to each other and just enjoying your life in Sanur, which is awesome. This video is enlightening, a full cost breakdown, but obviously including a lot of one off expenses which wont come year on year. I say good on you, and how lucky you both are to have got to this point where you can enjoy this amazing experience in your lives. Enjoy the beautiful villa surrounds you have created (damn, less than $100 at the garden centre, in NZ you would be lucky to get a single ornamental plant for that). I was not a subscriber however did love your TH-cam posts. All the best.

    Hey folks, thanks for the informative video. I'm also looking at retiring in Bali, but before I go and study you're spreadsheets, let me just say I think you are both well better off than most of us, and it's not going to matter where you live. They way you look and connect with each other is worth more than any Rupiah or Aussie dollar savings that I know of. All the best for the future for you two, and look forward to having a Bintang on the beach with you one day.

    What a wonderful life to live, your videos are so enjoyable. My wife and I watched all of them before arriving on holiday here on the 8th Jan. We stayed in Seminyak with family for 10 days and explored from there before arriving in Sanur on the 18th. We are here for 5 nights but thinking of spending our last 4 nights here too as we love Sanur. We are staying south Sanur and might head up north for the last 4 days. Beach day today watching live music which is staged near Genius Cafe and get some sea swimming in, can't believe we've only swam in pools so far apart from a snorkel trip in Nusa Dua. Anyway, keep up the awesome videos, they are informative, humorous and inspiring.

    You saved a lot of money getting the long lease. I was just watching another Australian retired couple looking at 2 and 3 bedroom villas around Sanur and they were saying you wouldn’t get anything under 28,000 per year! That seems a lot to me and Banjar fees, wifi, etc is often on top of that price.
    So we’ll done you!

    So very interesting and I have to say, I was intrigued at how well you two have set up such a good life for yourselves. You appear to be well advised and because you are both so very confident you have carved out such a beautiful and brilliant lifestyle….. even annual 40,000 is in my estimation very very reasonable when you look at the big picture… I now have a ballpark number to estimate what it would cost nowadays to have a leap of faith… yes it may cost less for me for this and that, but it may cost more for other “incidentals” that I never considered….. Spread sheet “control” gives peace of mind that’s for sure…. May I thank you so much for sharing such valuable real insight into persistent Bali “wannabe’s” dreamer like myself

    Thank you what a great informative video. We are thinking about retiring to Bali and it would seem we could live like lords over there on 50% less than it costs us a year to live in Oz. My only concern is that I am just finishing treatment for breast cancer and the annual check ups I would need but I guess we could do that when we return to Oz which we would do annually. Before you extended your lease what were you paying for the rental?

    $144.23 a week rent. Yes, I already had the calculator out before you mentioned it, Berg. I'm on Bergs side again Kim, cricket on Kayo is paramount. I think it balances out with the lashes, etc. Great insight to your budget, and I think $40,000 is very reasonable considering what you spent it on. You didn't go without much, either.
