We Tried Living on $1,000 in Kuala Lumpur…

Описание: So many videos on YouTube talk about living in Kuala Lumpur for under $1,000 a month.

We decided to actually try it.

For one full month, Yvonne and I tracked every dollar. Rent, food, transport, eating out, training, day-to-day life. No theory. No guesswork. Just real numbers and real trade-offs.

But here’s the bigger question:
What does life actually feel like at that level?

Is it freedom?
Is it restrictive?
Is it sustainable long term?

In this video I break down what surprised us, where we had to make sacrifices, and whether this kind of budget is realistic — or just a headline number people throw around online.

If you're thinking about moving to Malaysia, slow travelling in Southeast Asia, or just curious about the real cost of living here, this one matters.
