Thank you so much for all of your posts. I have been watching your amazing posts for a while. As soon as I found out I would be on an expat assignment here I looked forward to every new post. We love Penang. I agree it's a great place with some amazing seaview condos, fantastic international schools, diverse cultures and more. I will make sure to share some of our journey. Relocating from the states was definitely an adventure. We dont regret it one bit! Thank you once again for your stories. You have helped so much.
Hi thanks for following our stories! Yes, your definetly going to love Penang and relocating to a new country is an adventure in itself!! We would easily consider Malaysia as a melting pot of cultures in SEA, there is so much diversity. Hope you enjoy your adventure and good luck on your travels abroad.
@@TenajTino Actually, TM does offer UNIFI which is actually Fibre Optics High Speed Broadband. Like Amir said, yep the normal package is up to 100MBPS. But you can also get the UNIFI Pro Plan which is about MYR 199 per month, but you can get up to 300 MBPS on that, unlimited downloads, plus free calls to all Landlines numbers and up to 600 minutes of Mobile numbers talk time. I'm guessing you got ripped off. Somebody gave u Streamyxx instead which is SUPER SLOW !!!
@@ChezhAvailability You're such a stupid idiot...we have already addressed this. The condo we were living in only had TM DSL, because it was a brand new complex.

Absolutely beautiful. Traveling and living abroad has been calling to me like crazy and I think I want to check out Malaysia! I plan on touring Africa but now Im adding Malaysia to the list!
It's actually not cheap at all, it's just the currency depreciation of MYR, most of us locals are struggling to even afford a basic apartment. The living expenses are very high if you are earning MYR.
@@TenajTino No.I have never been out of the USA. I'm excited. I CAN really grow as a chef there for international cuisine and learn from the locals there.

Hi Tenaj & Tino. Am new to your channel and really impressed. You both are cute together & what a lovely family. Hope you don't mind if I ask; what do you think after compiling the cost of living in Malaysia specifically where you at now vs from your origins?
Now I k ow why you both looking mighty fine.... Good you both happy and I hope your son is enjoying his stay too... Your subscriber from very beginning.. Till next vlog
What kind of school does your son attend? Is it a local Malaysian school or one of the international schools? Some of the international schools we've looked into (in KL) are pretty expensive.
I would love to hear your sons perspective on living and going to school in a different country. I plan to move with my family overseas, Im always fascinated by the children's perspective.
Tenaj I love your hair you look different in every video beautiful. Have fun in Malaysia and enjoy the food there. You both are awesome together I enjoy watching you. My husband is Irish and I am a Native American Lumbee Indian we have been married for 52 yr now and are still in love.
I think the heat...is nudging us toward retiring in Colombia or Ecuador. We lived in Florida for many years and have had enough heat/humidity. Besides that it sounds pretty good.
@@TenajTino 😂 I realised after typing it I posted this half way through me watching my bad 🤭 what have you done about health insurance I haven't seen anyone mention this as a priority when living in Malaysia 🤷♀️
Thanks for this great video! My husband and I are hoping to spend 3-4 months in Penang in the next couple of years. For renting a condo, did you use a service like Airbnb, or did you find it when you got there somehow? Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hi, thanks for watching. We met people who stayed in an AirBnB the entire time instead of renting. The prices are virtually the same for renting or Airbnb. Looking back on it now, I think we would Airbnb instead of renting.
Hi, we actually visited Thailand and went on several house tours. We really considered Thailand..but the house didn't have a nice view. It did have a great pool, though. So in the end we choose Penang. We love Thailand and I'm sure we will move there in the near future.
My brain hurts....7:37 Rent 2100 MYR = 510 USD......9:50 Medical.... States 6,000 MYR... Screen shows 630 MYR = 336 USD. First amount comes out to about 4.11 MYR per USD....Second amount 336 USD comes out to about 1.87 MYR per USD (6,000 MYR comes out to 0.56 USD). Any thoughts?
Thanks! that was very interesting.... sounds like one person that doesn’t smoke/drink/no luxury shopping could easily live there comfortably on 1K a month. If that’s the case, I could retire today! 🤔 .... although I would go to KL, would you say there is a big monthly difference in cost between KL and Penang?
Hi, KL is a bigger city so prices will be slightly higher but it would not be noticeable...if we had to guess it would be 300-500 more a month. The different between KL and Penang at you will notice will be the traffic and pace of life. Penang is completely different in that aspect. 1k for a simple person is feasible.
@@dmlkcs8620 for Malaysian 1k is more than enough for family of 3 living in sub urban. 1. Rent =150 2. Utilitiy = 50 3. Paying Car loan = 100 - 200 (1000cc - 1500cc) 4. Internet, cable = 25 - 50 5. Daily expenses = 450 6. Contigency/saving = 100
I think you have to keep quite a bit in the local bank to retire here + visa fees. I had heard 80k from an elderly expat who wasn't able to after he no longer worked. Other than that it's dirt cheap. Plus the 80k is still yours, just kept here. Higher than many Asian countries but worth it. So safe in Penang. And beautiful.
It seems that you are REQUIRED to invest a considerable sum of cash in a Malaysian bank, in order to retire there. That is not cost-effective for those who only have a monthly income.
Yes, that is one way of being able to live in Malaysia permanently. There are other ways you can live there permanently also. Another way is to start a business, starting a biz there is very inexpensive and easy. We meet several expats that have done it, it doesn't have to be a multimillion dollar business either. Just some kind of business that can support itself and hire at least one Malaysian.
@@fazbell If you are still working and can work remotely, live here for a few years and save up. That is what I am doing. Every three months travel out of the country for a visa renewal. Later will save enough to pay for full retirement visa. Flights out of the country are as little as $50.
What a great and informative vid! I was in Penang on a family holiday back in 2002 so that was a while ago, even though i currently live in KL area. I don’t know if Penang (or your area) has Unifi/Time/Maxis Fibre but they’re much better and faster and cheaper than Streamyx (which i believe you are currently on)
Hi, there's this guessing game we play when people ask us..and we get asked alot! In order to reveal our ages, you must guess our first and see if your right.
Hi I am a single man, and I am thinking about retiring in the next few years. How much would it cost to live in Malaysia. I am very simple and do not need to much space, mainly a one bedroom, maybe a two bedroom.
Hey guys! What is the name of the town in Penang you’re in again? I didn’t quite catch the name from your video. I think you said something like Batu something. 😊
In Kuala Lumpur & Selangor u can get the fastest internet home fiber up to 1Gbps . Is more cheaper than u got in Penang . I'm not sure in Penang they have internet speed more than 100mbps . But when i see u have to pay more than RM250 per month with the sluggish speed internet sounds crazy actually. One of the best that u probably not notice in Penang is , that state don't have so many crazy toll compare to where i live now in KL/Selangor .
Hello, new and first time viewer of your content. I'm here in the States, this video gives a lot of information about expenses but of course a concern would be income.. How would someone be able to live similar to your families lifestyle. What employment there would make this feasible or what do you guys do for a living /income to maintain? Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. There are plenty of ways to create income online. One of the ways travelers are able to maintain this lifestyle is by teaching English online, there are other ways also. We will be creating a video soon on how to earn a living online soon.

Awesome ! Thank you for all the great and helpful information, Now about your internet, Can one up grade ? or go to another company ? Or it is what it is ? Thank You, Al
Hey, Tenaj and Tino, thanks for this! Your video is very educational and informative! Plus, you guys are very entertaining! I am seriously considering looking into Malaysia as a possible new home for myself. Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Malaysia seems totally affordable as far as the cost of living goes. I like how there seems to be an abundance of affordable quality food everywhere. That internet service would be frustrating, though. Why does everything have to be so flaming expensive here in these western territories?
I stay in Melaka.my medium cost apartment 1000ft 3bedroom 2washroom 2balcony near city centre rent only cost rm400+(usd100) a month..I just come back from Toronto, Canada less than a month, I rent a very small studio condo near city centre over there for 22days fr airbnb cost me around rm12000++ 😂 (around 4k Canadian dollars including tax)
If u live in Malaysia (Selangor) if your water and electricity bill is below RM10 per month it's free no need to pay the bill and the bill will show u RM0
Hi, great video, very informative. Wondering what kind of a visa you were on, if renting and staying a year. Did you do Visa runs every 90 days? If so, any problems around that? Or are you on the M2H program? Thanks!
@@TenajTino That's cool but what about for long term? Will you keep doing visa runs? I would think for "retirement" purposes,a long term visa would be a better way to go.Thoughts?

Hey guys! What is the name of the town in Penang you’re in again? I didn’t quite catch the name from your video. I think you said something like Batu something. 😊
HI, yes that's the name Batu Ferringhi.
In Kuala Lumpur & Selangor u can get the fastest internet home fiber up to 1Gbps . Is more cheaper than u got in Penang . I'm not sure in Penang they have internet speed more than 100mbps . But when i see u have to pay more than RM250 per month with the sluggish speed internet sounds crazy actually.
One of the best that u probably not notice in Penang is , that state don't have so many crazy toll compare to where i live now in KL/Selangor .
Hi, Penang had great internet. We only had an issue with TM at Island Resort. It has been fixed, thank you.
Hello, new and first time viewer of your content. I'm here in the States, this video gives a lot of information about expenses but of course a concern would be income.. How would someone be able to live similar to your families lifestyle. What employment there would make this feasible or what do you guys do for a living /income to maintain? Thanks

Hi Julian, thanks for subbing 😘can't wait to take you on our adventures!
Malaysia seems totally affordable as far as the cost of living goes. I like how there seems to be an abundance of affordable quality food everywhere. That internet service would be frustrating, though. Why does everything have to be so flaming expensive here in these western territories?
Hi. Yes, Malaysia is very affordable for any budget. The internet issue was one of the things we didn't like about Island Resort.
OMG a studio in Mont Kiara KL is RM2300 and you have a million dollar view with 3 bedroom for RM2100!!!

Calvi ck wow, what an excellent price in Melaka.
If u live in Malaysia (Selangor) if your water and electricity bill is below RM10 per month it's free no need to pay the bill and the bill will show u RM0
We didn't know that..we received a water bill every two months and it was between 5-10 RM.
Hi, great video, very informative. Wondering what kind of a visa you were on, if renting and staying a year. Did you do Visa runs every 90 days? If so, any problems around that? Or are you on the M2H program? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for watching. We did I visa runs and didn't run into any real problems.
@@TenajTino That's cool but what about for long term? Will you keep doing visa runs? I would think for "retirement" purposes,a long term visa would be a better way to go.Thoughts?
Hi, thanks for commenting. Yes a long term visa would always be preferred over visa runs. But this current travel style fits our lifestyle.
Thanks for this video. It's awesome! Please what is the name of Daniel's school?
