My friend moved to KL last year and she’s thriving on $1,200. The street food alone is worth the move. Anyone else find the rent super cheap compared to the US?

Honestly $1,500 a month in Malaysia is doable if you skip the fancy condos and eat local. I stayed in Penang for a month and spent way less than that lol

I’ve been living here for 3 years and can confirm this is accurate. But be careful with those hidden costs like visa runs and aircon electricity bills lol

$1,500 is luxury living in Malaysia tbh. I did it on $900 last year and still had money for weekend trips. Just don’t go to the tourist traps

Bro I’m literally packing my bags rn. That breakdown was eye opening. No way I’m paying $2k for a studio back home haha
