HOW MUCH DOES IT REALLY COST TO LIVE IN MALAYSIA⁉️| PRICE BREAKDOWN 💰 | EXPENSES

I imagine many people will be leaving the UK in the next decade. I think God willing, I will be one of them too.

I've been in KL for nearly 4 years, and I'm impressed how quickly you've caught up. Agree with most of it, but my utilities and food for 4 people are half versus your calculation. I was just in UK for 1 week, and by the time I landed back in KL, my love for Malaysia had grown multifold.

Avoid european/US brand cars cuz the maintenance and spare parts gonna cost u a lot. Stick to malaysian cars or japanese car like toyota, honda.

My family spending every months 1. Electricity= MYR 40 2. Water =MYR 40 3. GROCERIES= MYR450-600 4. INTERNET= MYR 108 5. Telephone bill for 4 person = MYR220 6. Fuel= MYR150 7.Family Insurance= 0 8. School= 300 Total=MYR 1458 PER MONTH.

My family has had the same maid for over 20 years now Alhamdulillah. She is awesome, like my own mother. We cover everything from flight tickets, medical, food, clothes, gifts literally everything and not one cent of her income need to be spent on herself. Never will we change and if she finally wants to stop working (we've asked many times), we won't be taking new maids. So many untrustworthy maids nowadays 🥲

brilliant break down of expenses. I'm really really interested

Commenting to help boost. Great break down, gives a much better sense of the true cost. Thank you!

I would like to suggest for foreigner who wants settle down in Malaysia, if you have enough cash please buy a house and a car in cash. Those costs will take up the top 2 utmost of the budget. The rest of the expenses will be bearable around rm5k maximum per month. This is my experience when i settled my house and car loans. It left me with an extra cash which i find it useful. Yes it is true if you want to buy a car choose of malaysian brand and japanese brand because the car maintanance is much much cheaper than the continental one. I used mercedes before and i opt for honda and toyota now and i save a lot.

Very useful information. JazakhAllah Khayr

Thank you, very useful lesson. Go on !!

From the list, as a local, you can cut a few things on the list. Rent, a two storrey terrace maybe a little off outside the city but still accessible to it around rm1500. Way cheaper in states other than KL Internet for home and phone (1 person) for about rm200. If just the phone ,rm60-80 per person. No need for maids if you can find a day to clean up once a week. Car, if you are looking for a B segment sedan, would be around rm700-1100. Less than rm500 for a compact car or segment A sedan. Go for local brands like proton and perodua, or japanese ones. Bills, electricity bills especially, if you don't mind spending more time under the fan, then you could do under rm200 per month. Groceries, it depends on how many things u need for your meals and house supplies. I'd say rm500 should be average if you have a family. Find a wet market or morning market for cheaper stuffs. Aeon is pretty expensive on some things.

This is now my favourite channel now, thank you for sharing so much useful info

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, 10k-ish per month for a certain lifestyle is actually spot on even for locals.

Very interesting to watch, thanks for sharing x

A good and informative video!

Thank you for everything that you do for us, appreciate it a lot. Will keep supporting you. Have a great day.

Thank for these wonderful insights.❤

With the rising tariffs and removal of energy subsidies, perhaps can consider installing solar panels to reduce electricity costs. I've paid RM38k for approximately 1300kwh monthly of power generation and it reduces my bill from RM650 to just RM30+/- per month. I shall get my ROI in the 6th year 😂

Aeon is not a high end grocer. Price are quite reasonable. Unless they are imported items . Most Malaysians go to Aeon, Hero, NSK, Giant, Mydin & such for their groceries. The high end grocers in Malaysia are Jaya Grocer & Village Grocers. Jaya Grocer carries select product ranges from Coles in Australia & Sainsbury UK.

Thank you for all your videos. I'm thinking of moving to Malaysia so these videos have been very helpful.
