What kinds of risks are you taking if you move overseas?

[MegaFlow]

After 2 years in Thailand, I am in KL for past 2 weeks. So far very impressed with the infrastructure, cleanliness, transport, people, language, food, cost, etc. will spend the remainder of the 90 days visa exploring the country before making a decision. But so far very impressed

[Wee-Rex]

Visited KL last December for the first time. My hotel (Traders) was straight across from the Towers 😂 spent a few days hanging around with a Malaysian friend as a guide. KL was so cheap, I found it much cheaper than Thailand. The city itself was a bit overwhelming at first so I will need to come back for a further visit (planned) and I am going to Langkawi this coming June for a visit as well. It is certainly a compelling argument for a long stay location when I retire later this year. Great vlog folks

Hi there, I'm a Malaysian born and raised here. I've been following your channel and others for a few months now on retirement planning and where is the best place to retire in South East Asia (SEA). Trust me as a citizen of this country... in Kuala Lumpur, you'll need a bare minimum of USD1900 to USD2100 to retire here in 2024 (based on the current exchange rate), somewhat comfortably. That includes some entertainment on the weekends without any internal vacations or travels. If you include those, it will cost you more. Water and laundry cannot be zero unless the place you're renting comes with filtered water dispenser and a washing machine. Bear in mind Malaysia is one of the most expensive places in SEA for alcohol. So if you like drinking, good luck! And transport is not exactly cheap if you don't own your own transport. However, public transport is fairly good and cheap, if you're not in a rush to get some where. Grab should only be used during non peak hours, otherwise it would cost you double the rate or more.

Kuala Lumpur looks like a real gem. You almost have me convinced to move abroad again.

This is where I met my wife. We've been married for 16 years now and have 12 kids.Alhamdulilah. (Say Ma Shaa Allah / God bless your and your family..)

I understand the purpose of this video is to show the costs of living on a budget in KL and KL provides such, but I’d prefer to focus on value. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. A decent apartment in a good neighbourhood like Bangsar, KLCC, Bukit Bintang, Sri Hartamas or Mont Kiara is still relatively affordable at around rm 5k - 8k per month. Cheapest is not always the best and the best is not always expensive.

Great video! Most of the expat videos I've ended up seeing are from the many expats that live in the Philippines, I've only seen relatively few from Malaysia, and KL in particular. One expat, Taylor lives in KL in this awesome high rise condo for cheap - gym, grocery store on the 1st level, etc., he's a foodie so whichever way he walks there are lots of different restaurants and stores. He had similar costs as you had on the low end. I think the barrier to many to KL and Malaysia in general is that large upfront deposit. That may be why the Philippines are so prominant for exparts, the entry and stay requirements are quite low. But the drawbacks (to me) about the Philippines are the infrastructure, utilities, traffic, stray animals...KL looks like it is so very modern, orderly, and well run. I am sure there are areas that have some issues, but it looks great to me!

Welcome to affordable living in KL, Malaysia. Splendid vlog and monthly budget for the real cost of living in KL.

[phmiii]

Thank you, Kuala Lumpur is on the top of my list of places for me to retire!

[yeahright]

Good Job, Bro!!!! In my quest to determine what country I'll relocate to, I've viewed hundreds of videos from many creators. Yours is the best. They are informative and entertaining. Other creators don't understand how far narrating details about a city over video reels of that city will go. This combination kept me entertained while educating me about the cost of living in Malaysia. This is the first video that I've watched of yours. I am looking forward to viewing more. Thanks for all that you do.

[emmaschannel]

Hi, Dan! Your video made me so happy today. I'm doing an exploratory visit to KL and Penang this Spring. You have such a great knowledge of KL and Malaysia. Thank you for your insights. the way, Diva Qiang was totally serving on the Catwalk! 💃

[discoverglobeliving]

Super helpful video on Kuala Lumpur's cost of living! Makes moving there seem more realistic and planned. 👍

[duncanmacleod]

Yesterday was the first time I watched one of your videos and I enjoyed it so much I have been binge watching nearly all day today. I see myself back in VN or KL within the next year. I'm not a stranger to Asia but I am learning a great deal from your videos that I didn't know.

[dugfriendly]

Thank you! Clever to break out the possible optional stuff to make it easy for us teetotalers ❤

[sandokan]

I think both of you are spoiled for choices, having been almost everywhere. My Swiss wife lived in my hometown of Melaka for 15 years and we liked it becos it is very local. I do not think places other than KL and Penang are conservative. More a matter of perception and acceptance.And we have lived in Zurich for over 20 years, one of the most liberal cities in the world and we do not miss it even though it is quite a great place. We liked the idea more of being actually in the East. Believe it or not we have never been to KL other than the airport.

[Brutushungwell]

I was just there in January. I loved it. So much to see and do. I found a coin laundry there and they had driers. Very cheap.

[garryburt]

I just spent 2 months in KL and to tell you the truth I was glad to go back to Thailand. Way more fun in Thailand. The weather in KL was generally not very good....hot with lots of rain...hard to plan a day out.

Checked out most of the unique attractions which was nice, Malacca, Penang. A word of warning, , , Dont do the Costa cruise out of Port Klangg...total rip off.

Crazy traffic. I didnt care for the food in general, and lots of street food has been sitting out for how long??? Very conservative population...mostly Muslim. Got woke up most mornings at 6 am with morning prayers blasted out of speakers up on minarets. Most were tone deaf.
Your experience may be very different but for me I had been looking forward to going to Malaysia and in end have no desire tp go back.

[michaelpalosaari]

Thank you for another informative and entertaining discussion!

Hello Dan and thank you for all the information you put out in your videos. I sincerely appreciate it. I hope you won't delete this comment as I really want to caution those visiting or living in Kuala Lumpur to avoid Gleneagles especially the ER as I had very very substandard care there and at a high cost. Additionally had quite a struggle to get proper paperwork for my insurance (as they didn't provide proper care). I do hope the other hospitals are better!
