There we go Dan, another choice for us. Bali Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines and more, you have showed us that we can retire for cheap in many places throughout our world. Thank you my friend. Cheers!!!
Bobby is the prime example of living it up. Liked the mexico episode with him and I agree with his thoughts about the culture. Would like to see updates from this guy
Dan, well we did okay my friend. I really enjoyed doing this interview and hope we can motivate a few more out there to stop putting life on hold while waiting for perfect. Now is time while we are alive and healthy!! Hope to meet you somewhere in our travels, perhaps here in Indonesia. Thanks again 😁
@@bevelynbrown9359 I'm not Bob and I'm not a woman, but I've been to Bali twice, and based on my observations, you should be fine, as long as you pick your neighborhood carefully. For the softest landing, I'd recommend Ubud (where Bob started off). There are tons of foreigners there and the vibe is pretty laid back. Reminds me sort of a tropical northern California - lots of Yoga, meditation, and so forth. The "Love" part of the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" was set there in Ubud, and I get the sense that at least some of the single female visitors are chasing that idea. Unless you're a 20-something party animal, I'd steer clear of (South) Kuta. The areas of Seminyak and Legian are both nice. If you're interested in working while there, the digital nomad hotspot is Canggu.
Hi Robert. I lived in Lovina for 4 years and only returned to Australia because of covid. Just be aware, the B211 visa is 6 months as you are aware. It cannot be extended onshore. You will have to do a visa run to Singapore etc. Tika will advise you further. Good luck, I'll be back in April. If you're still around let's catch up, Cheers.
Indonesia is one of my favorite countries. If you are a scuba diver and snorkeler it is paradise. If you are young enough and looking for all sorts of adventure, Indonesia is my favorite. I have traveled scuba dove, snorkeled and climbed mountains and run from Kamodo dragons from the islands off the north tip of Sumatra to the last undersea reef south of the Banda Islands in the Maluca islands. You won't believe what is there until you go see it yourself. I also spent a few months a year for a few years living in Ubud making videos as I got older. Another great place!
"Don't bring your previous country to where you're moving-- immerse yourself in the culture around you". Fantastic, inspiring advice, Bobby. I'd love to hear more of his cogent, thought-provoking philosophy.
So inspiring, this kind of living keeps everyday fresh, new and enlightening. I don't understand how someone wouldn't be drawn this kind of life experience. Thank you both !
Diana, it is so impressive here in many ways. There is so much family unity that they do not want to shame their families. Daily you see how much their religion means to them too. All adds up to a desire to be a good member of their families anf village
I've been wondering how Bobby's doing! I've been using him as an example of early retirement for myself. I was in Playa Del Carmen in March 2020 and got back to Canada just before the covid lockdown. I was visiting a friend who has lived in Playa for 12 years. He works online, makes good money and $USD as well. I don't have an online job but even if I work the summer months in Canada and winters in the southern hemisphere I'd be a very happy man. I don't need a lavish lifestyle, just freedom. 10:30 minutes of the video: Nothing better than fresh chicken and I also love to cook and prefer to live in the countryside over the city center. My expenses are $1,250.00 CDN ($1,000 USD) a month . My rent is $750 CDN if I can live this cheap in Canada I can do it in Mexico, Philippines, Indonesia, et al. Bobby's motivating me! If Bobby's only spending $83 a month on rent I'd like to know what his other expenses are to reach $1,200 a month?

Thank you Dan & Bobby. Hello from Phoenix. Great interview. Very informative. If this doesn’t make you want to hope on an airplane not sure what would. Even though I am 15 years your senior Bobby, it is never to late to follow your dreams.
I am seriously considering Indonesia on a limited income basis of about $1500 a month. I have never been to Indonesia, but I have been to the Philippines, so I am familiar in some respect of how things go.
I will always remember my day trip to singaraja on Bali's north shore. To get there you have to pass through Ubud which I have been to many times. You go up through the mountains which are full of friendly monkeys and pass a unique waterfall. Singaraja is in a great area near nice beach and mountain s.
@@VagabondAwake Have been so many times to kintamani with nice buffet restaurant with good mountain valley view on the other side of Bali. Was able to stop for late sunset at tannah lot on the way back from singaraja
I am amazed… I am too into Neville Goddard ‘s teachings for a while and on my way to create my retire plan somewhere as you and your guest did so I manifested 2 of my favorite subjects in one video…
If you ever want to do a video about living super cheap in Cusco, Peru, I've spent over 3 years (in total over the last 6 years) living there. My $125/month apartment in the center of Cusco will probably blow your mind! I have really nice video of it, too! (in horizontal format shot with iPhone Xs) and tons of great pics of Cusco and Peru. I've traveled to much less countries than you (about 20) and I started traveling on July 4, 2016 and I have not stopped yet. Just throwing it out there if you are interested. I also lived in Chiang Mai for $125/month in a nice apartment but it was much smaller -- however, very clean and quite nice with a wonderful owner of the building. It's a story about how he went from being near penniless on the streets of Delhi selling incense and trinkets at a small roadside stand to being a well-off property owner in Chiang Mai. It's an incredible story. Keep up the great work. Scott

Hi Dan, always wanted go to Bali (think it would have perfect for me 20 years ago) but before covid I always thought way to commercial and touristy for me although I can and know why, everyone know how wonderful it can be and the culture and people are likeminded. All I can think is that the Earth has become too populated, I really cannot be comfortable in crowds. It must be very slow in Bali like most places...covid can have an up side, not that I'm happy about it but it is what it is and it seems to be getting worse...Bali would be wonderful space to be stranded, I'm most tempted...i think your friend here has good karma!
Thank you, all you say is true and Bali may have been wonderful 20 years ago but so was Las Vegas. Its all relative. Truth is we are alive now. Live the best way you can as now is all we have.
Hi, Dan enjoyed your video. I was shocked at the rent price being so cheap. I would be interested in seeing a cost of living comparison between Bali and Thailand. Given the Bali numbers, I think I know who will win. Take care Say Hi to the Mrs :) GOD Bless you and yours. M
Great content! Please clarify something. I think Robert said his monthly expenses come to just $81. Ultimately there was the figure of $1200 per month all said and done. I must have missed some key information.
@@onedirection3510 maybe he buys a few books and a few shirts and a few cocktails each week. It’s actually pretty easy to spend 1200 dollars living well.
@@bikebasket9594 Exactly but the whole point I’m making is that he said he he only spends $83 per month everything included so it’s about $1000 per year which even in such a location it’s hard to believe.
After watching many of your videos I am really wanting to retire overseas. Now Bali is an option as close to NZ. I went to Philippines 15years ago. Married a pretty Philippine girl, brought her back to NZ, I was very happy but she left me for a richer man. Won't be bringing a girl back to NZ again.
Great story Graham Neilson. Thank you for sharing it with us. People can learn from the experience of others. Your interaction with our channel helps us get subscribers and views, so we really appreciate it. Best, Dan
Older woman, age 65 and was diagnosed with gastritis (stomach disorder). Must eat organic fruits and vegetables and my question is are there fresh fruits and vegetables in Bali without pesticide and GMO? Never been out the USA. Please help.
So sad to say but I don't know. Most of the world is struggling to eat at all. The USA and Europe have very strictt food labeling laws and I am not sure if you will find that overseas. Bali is super veggie friendly, with yoga, meditation, vegetarian restaurants and all that, but I don't know if they eave or enforce labeling laws. Google Yoga Retreats in Bali and ask a few of the owners about this.
There is more to life than just rent, utilities, cable tv and internet. As long as we are corporeal, we must feed the body that carries us about. Beyond that, here's more to life than just existing. We are blessed with this life perhaps partly to experience the joy of life that will lift our spirit to more. Be creative. Have some fun.
Everything is possible. Make dure you look onto the visa requirements first, flight, covid shots/ quarantine and so forth. Before you consider a place to stay. Lodging is easy
Thank you for the wise thought Mark Ledesma. By set the time to 1 year. lol. This channel is all about new ways of looking at things. Plus, comments, subscriptions, and likes, cause RUclips to grow our channel which also grows our income. So, thank you, :-) Dan Do you have my free eBook yet? vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/
I don't know. I have never stayed long enough to find out. :-) Better contact an accountant if you are retiring there. Or ask in one of the Facebook expat groups for indonesia.
@@VagabondAwake Depends which beach you go to, having lived in Bali for 12 years,even getting from Semiyak to Canggu can take 45 minutes . Sure Ubud is nice,but some people don't know the geography or time it takes to get around if they haven't been there before. Enjoy your videos 👍
Depends upon your home country and where you decide to relocate ... and whether you establish residency or are a slow traveler like me. It also depends on the treaty, if any, your home country has with where you relocate. That is why I don't give tax advice. lol. This is an interesting read if you are an American: www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/013015/how-can-i-avoid-paying-taxes-my-social-security-income.asp
Neville Goddard never charged money for his coaching. He walked his talk and manifested his abundant life. I'm not being negative, just speaking the truth.
is the visa and stay permit annual? someone told me they thought it was only 30 day visa stay?? i would love to retire there.... are there any jobs for retired english teachers?
It feels pretty much the same. You just follow the local rules and you'll be fine. If you try to make your own rules it could be uncomfortable. In most of the world people respect the advice they get from doctors, so they wear their mask, social distance, and get the vaccine as soon as it is available. Its not really a political thing in most countries.
Yes, the subjective views expressed by your guest are valid but much of what he said, and pics shown during his explanation of Ubud, were simply misleading. This does not take anything away from how beautiful and affordable much of Bali can be but please DO NOT think that what you have seen in this interview is accurate. Go to Bali, when you can, and stay and travel for, at the absolute minimum, 2 weeks before starting to form an opinion of this beautiful island and its people. Thanks for your efforts in educating us on retiring cheap and enjoying life.
What are you saying Mac? Can you be more specific in your criticism? Are you saying most people won't be willing or able to find $83 months apartments? That I would agree with in general. Most people watching this will live in the tourists areas and pay tourist prices. That doesn't mean people willing to live more like a local can't find cheaper places. Thanks for commenting. Dan
I too was curious about which part was miskeading? While I Ubud in a very nice villa with a pool it was $300 a month for 3 months I averaged spending about $1800.00 a month. Now where I live up north I found long term for $1000.00 for 12 months. The places I visited in the pictures are easy to get to and affordable. Yes, I agree every one should stay for at least a month because the expenses of the flight, quarantine and tests, make it less attractive as a 1, 2 week vacation. Otherwise I am curious which part was deceptive?
@@yangzhengqing8024 I did not find anything misleading here. As a short-term visitor to Ubud a couple of years ago, I spent $11/night to stay in a perfectly comfortable, air-conditioned hotel room in Ubud with breakfast included. (It was called Rumah Ary). It wasn't luxurious and the room wasn't big, but it was clean and it was comfortable and even had its own balcony. Eating local the rest of the day cost perhaps $6/day, which left me another $23/day in my budget before I hit $1,200/month. It would be hard to travel on $23/day in Los Angeles or London. But in Ubud? No problem. The only thing I found in Bali that was expensive and didn't have a reasonably-priced local alternative was alcohol. It's just expensive. No way around it. And that's true throughout the country. So if drinking alcohol daily is a requirement for someone, then they should try a different country.
Happy to find your channel, and experienced travel expert is what I need... My situation is highly unique, I have a show called bucket list due to a terminal illness.still healthy and have lived in Asia last year oh, and the question I have is this.... I love culture and motorcycle touring, my bike still in Cambodia. Where would you go 4 that sort of richness and beautiful young women that are going to accompany me and potentially take good care of me. All this on Social Security. Look at Uruguay and would like to finish my tour in Asia what are your thoughts thank you kindly in advance..
The Philippines is by far the best for beautiful women willing to date older men but it is not open yet. Maybe tour up through Lao and then down through Vietnam? Head to the Philippines as soon as it opens.
Hello J K, Just click the "More Information" link in the notes below this RUclips video for the information you are requesting. In case you don't understand how to find the "More Information" link I am talking about, I have made the below video teaching you how to get to the links: ruclips.net/video/p4bP4xd7J4s/видео.html It is important that you learn how since most of our videos have multiple links to important information that will help you. Thanks for commenting. RUclips shows our videos to more viewers when you interact with our channel. That causes RUclips to give us a pay raise $$. :-) So, ... thank you, Dan
What part of the Philippines did you experience begging children? I haven't run into much of that. Are you in a bigger city? Thank you happy slave! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
I have a couple of questions. I am a type two diabetic and I take different medication, I’m also on TRT where would I get my medications ? I am retired and I want to be an expert preferably in Southeast Asia. Thank you and God bless.
Medications are easily available at pharmacies in Bali and other SE Asia Countries. I recommend going on the Expat FB page for the city/country that you're considering and ask your specific question there. I can answer the TRT question; I have a friend in Bali who is on TRT and he had no problem getting his there. It was actually a stronger version than he had been taking so his doctor in another country lowered the amount. Thailand is open with a quarantine, or through Phukets "Sandbox". There are also visa options to get into Bali. You can contact a visa agent and ask about the retirment visa if you're old enough for it.
@@Optimusbellumdomitor thank you so much, I was very worried about getting my medication’s . I truly appreciate it my all the information I can get. God bless 🙏🏻
There we go Dan, another choice for us. Bali Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines and more, you have showed us that we can retire for cheap in many places throughout our world. Thank you my friend. Cheers!!!

For how little can you live there with a spouce as cheap as can be?
Older woman, age 65 and was diagnosed with gastritis (stomach disorder). Must eat organic fruits and vegetables and my question is are there fresh fruits and vegetables in Bali without pesticide and GMO? Never been out the USA. Please help.
So sad to say but I don't know. Most of the world is struggling to eat at all. The USA and Europe have very strictt food labeling laws and I am not sure if you will find that overseas. Bali is super veggie friendly, with yoga, meditation, vegetarian restaurants and all that, but I don't know if they eave or enforce labeling laws. Google Yoga Retreats in Bali and ask a few of the owners about this.
Ooh! That was inspiring.
Glad you think so!
Barracudas a very delicious fish.
They look pretty mean when you swim with them.
Thanks again
Always welcome. :-)
Great words of wisdom....
Thank you Charles.
It was nice I enjoy your video
Me too. Bobby is great!
Well done!
Thank you Skid Wirks! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
if his rent is $83 his electric $50 and cable tv and internet is $20 that is $153 and his budget is $1200 what is the other $1048 going to
There is more to life than just rent, utilities, cable tv and internet. As long as we are corporeal, we must feed the body that carries us about. Beyond that, here's more to life than just existing. We are blessed with this life perhaps partly to experience the joy of life that will lift our spirit to more. Be creative. Have some fun.
Read my earlier answers to that question above
@@tetraire3844 Thank you Tetaire
Love that answer Tetraire.
My heart just broke...Bobby has a girl friend🤣🤣😭😭😭
I think he is single now.
Very good Dan and Bob. Makes me want to go back to Bali. I've only been there once before. Bob, can you help me find a good rental deal like yours?
Everything is possible. Make dure you look onto the visa requirements first, flight, covid shots/ quarantine and so forth. Before you consider a place to stay. Lodging is easy
Here is my method for finding an apartment: vagabondbuddha.com/how-i-find-perfect-apartments-traveling-the-world/
@@VagabondAwake thank you, I enjoy the videos
I'd love to go to Bali for a week.
Thank you for the wise thought Mark Ledesma. By set the time to 1 year. lol. This channel is all about new ways of looking at things. Plus, comments, subscriptions, and likes, cause RUclips to grow our channel which also grows our income. So, thank you, :-) Dan

I truly hope to hear from someone that could coach me or give me some more info about Indonesia
I don't like Ubud because of the taxi mafia. Getting an uber is difficult there
Thanks for your thoughts Paul. I usually just rent a scooter when I am on Bali. :-)
Warungs are the best places eat.. I am curios about how much is the tax for retired bules?
I don't know. I have never stayed long enough to find out. :-) Better contact an accountant if you are retiring there. Or ask in one of the Facebook expat groups for indonesia.
Where do you find these properties? Are they advertised online you just a street advertisement?
Here is the method I use: vagabondbuddha.com/how-i-find-perfect-apartments-traveling-the-world/
How did you find this accimmodation? Tell us more about it
Just letting anyone watching who hasn't been to Ubud before,it's nowhere near the sea.
Yes, it is 31 minutes by scooter from the beach, but that is because it is in the mountains where it is cooler. So many prefer to live there. :-)
@@VagabondAwake Depends which beach you go to, having lived in Bali for 12 years,even getting from Semiyak to Canggu can take 45 minutes . Sure Ubud is nice,but some people don't know the geography or time it takes to get around if they haven't been there before. Enjoy your videos 👍
Wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
How would the job and taxes work for an IT remote job?
Depends upon your home country and where you decide to relocate ... and whether you establish residency or are a slow traveler like me. It also depends on the treaty, if any, your home country has with where you relocate. That is why I don't give tax advice. lol. This is an interesting read if you are an American: www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/013015/how-can-i-avoid-paying-taxes-my-social-security-income.asp
Interesting & useful.
Glad you think so!
Neville Goddard never charged money for his coaching. He walked his talk and manifested his abundant life. I'm not being negative, just speaking the truth.
is the visa and stay permit annual? someone told me they thought it was only 30 day visa stay?? i would love to retire there.... are there any jobs for retired english teachers?
Have you thoughts of just teaching online so you can go anywhere? ruclips.net/video/nuf9f8szTR0/видео.html
Why 1200$ per month if meals are $2 and housing $150?
I'll try to get more detail next time we interview Robert. Thank you happy slave! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
How is traveling everywhere with COVID
It feels pretty much the same. You just follow the local rules and you'll be fine. If you try to make your own rules it could be uncomfortable. In most of the world people respect the advice they get from doctors, so they wear their mask, social distance, and get the vaccine as soon as it is available. Its not really a political thing in most countries.
Dan do you know if gay couples safe in Bali if they aren't open about it? Thx!
I didn't really know. But Qiang says yes. If you are not open about it, you are fine.
you need to have a vaccine in Indonesia?
Here is my resource for those kinds of questions. www.kayak.com/travel-restrictions/indonesia
Yes, the subjective views expressed by your guest are valid but much of what he said, and pics shown during his explanation of Ubud, were simply misleading.
This does not take anything away from how beautiful and affordable much of Bali can be but please DO NOT think that what you have seen in this interview is accurate.
Go to Bali, when you can, and stay and travel for, at the absolute minimum, 2 weeks before starting to form an opinion of this beautiful island and its people.
Thanks for your efforts in educating us on retiring cheap and enjoying life.
What are you saying Mac? Can you be more specific in your criticism? Are you saying most people won't be willing or able to find $83 months apartments? That I would agree with in general. Most people watching this will live in the tourists areas and pay tourist prices. That doesn't mean people willing to live more like a local can't find cheaper places. Thanks for commenting. Dan
I too was curious about which part was miskeading? While I Ubud in a very nice villa with a pool it was $300 a month for 3 months I averaged spending about $1800.00 a month. Now where I live up north I found long term for $1000.00 for 12 months. The places I visited in the pictures are easy to get to and affordable. Yes, I agree every one should stay for at least a month because the expenses of the flight, quarantine and tests, make it less attractive as a 1, 2 week vacation. Otherwise I am curious which part was deceptive?
@@yangzhengqing8024 I did not find anything misleading here. As a short-term visitor to Ubud a couple of years ago, I spent $11/night to stay in a perfectly comfortable, air-conditioned hotel room in Ubud with breakfast included. (It was called Rumah Ary). It wasn't luxurious and the room wasn't big, but it was clean and it was comfortable and even had its own balcony. Eating local the rest of the day cost perhaps $6/day, which left me another $23/day in my budget before I hit $1,200/month. It would be hard to travel on $23/day in Los Angeles or London. But in Ubud? No problem.
The only thing I found in Bali that was expensive and didn't have a reasonably-priced local alternative was alcohol. It's just expensive. No way around it. And that's true throughout the country. So if drinking alcohol daily is a requirement for someone, then they should try a different country.
Happy to find your channel, and experienced travel expert is what I need... My situation is highly unique, I have a show called bucket list due to a terminal illness.still healthy and have lived in Asia last year oh, and the question I have is this....
I love culture and motorcycle touring, my bike still in Cambodia. Where would you go 4 that sort of richness and beautiful young women that are going to accompany me and potentially take good care of me. All this on Social Security. Look at Uruguay and would like to finish my tour in Asia what are your thoughts thank you kindly in advance..
The Philippines is by far the best for beautiful women willing to date older men but it is not open yet. Maybe tour up through Lao and then down through Vietnam? Head to the Philippines as soon as it opens.
83 bucks for a place, hmmmmmm, hard to believe that!!!
15,000 idr for 12 months $1,038.80
Very low indeed. I wonder if it was in part to just get someone paying rent during the current health crisis? I forgot to ask Bobby that.
I would like to check out living in Bali, but I believe they are not taking tourists
Do your research. All things are possible. See E Visa Bali. That's the name of the company that can assit you if you really want to come
@@yangzhengqing8024 thank you buddy
Thank you Billy and Robert! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
Why was the visa hard to get?
Not once he got the right agent. See the link in the notes below the video.
i have been in china 6 years i would like to visit is there a visa required for just a week trip? thanks for your help
I explained that here: vagabondbuddha.com/the-new-bali-entry-requirements-is-it-worth-it/
Just double check since this is about 40 days ago.
Hey Dan, not Bali, what city did he say he was living in?
Bali is an island. I have not been to where he lives on Bali. I will email him and find out.
Which apartment? Link?
He lives in it. It is not for rent.
🙏🌺🙏
Thank you Mel Bees! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Men are really lucky...
I certainly feel lucky. :-)
What is the city name he moved to?
Singaraja. It's part of the area called Buleleng Bali

Yes, he is living a local life. Plus it is covid prices right now.
Sea snake makes me stay away from there lol.
No hoards of begging kids in the streets? Sounds like a big step up from the Philippines 👍
What part of the Philippines did you experience begging children? I haven't run into much of that. Are you in a bigger city? Thank you happy slave! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Covid pricing.
Yes!
No doubt.
I have a couple of questions. I am a type two diabetic and I take different medication, I’m also on TRT where would I get my medications ? I am retired and I want to be an expert preferably in Southeast Asia. Thank you and God bless.
@@cosmo1eleven855 I appreciate the information, thank you and God bless you my friend.
Medications are easily available at pharmacies in Bali and other SE Asia Countries. I recommend going on the Expat FB page for the city/country that you're considering and ask your specific question there. I can answer the TRT question; I have a friend in Bali who is on TRT and he had no problem getting his there. It was actually a stronger version than he had been taking so his doctor in another country lowered the amount. Thailand is open with a quarantine, or through Phukets "Sandbox". There are also visa options to get into Bali. You can contact a visa agent and ask about the retirment visa if you're old enough for it.
@@Optimusbellumdomitor thank you so much, I was very worried about getting my medication’s . I truly appreciate it my all the information I can get. God bless 🙏🏻
I like Tommy's advice. I also use the expat facebook pages for this kind of specific information. Just search "city/country name expats" on facebook.
@@VagabondAwake Thank you my friend God bless
I love Neville Goddard...
“She’s originally from Java. We met on-online”, Mate you are really green. Please be careful.
Mate, I'm not green at all. Been to 8 countries and have lived in 5. I was married to an Indonesian for 19 years. Don't judge so quickly "mate"
Bobby attracts good people. He will be fine.
It all sounds great to the real owner shows up
