I’m Much Happier Living In Bali Than In The U.S. - Here’s How Much It Costs

[@natalia_00123]

Native Balinese here. I say, good for people like him who make "western" income to live in Bali. But it does sting a little LOL. The legal minimum wage in the richest regency in Bali is just 3,318,628 IDR or around 209 USD/month, a lot even get paid less than that. But then I felt a little meh when I heard he didn't have any locals in his team? (correct me if I'm wrong, I listened to this while doing other things).

the person in this feature episode steven guo is rich even by western standards. he's a business owner. $254,000 at age 24 is pretty insane

[@Errearrea14]

His ecom brands are tiny, I looked them up and highly doubt they bring in that much money. Unsurprisingly, he is also doing mentorship courses. Sounds like a bit of a fake guru but I could be wrong. When people brag about how money money they made at 12,13,14, etc its usually a red flag as it can't be verified.

[@jimgreat3820]

That's true. Most of "digital nomads" here are just grifters and cheapskates. They don't even pay taxes and don't contribute to the locals in any way. Most of them make less than $5K a month and live like they own the whole island 😂 and do you know how most of them make their money? As you said, coaching 😂. I live in bali with my balinese wife for decades. I know the reality.

[@wawaldekidsfun4850]

As someone interested in entrepreneurship, this felt more like a lifestyle flex than valuable content. Running 3 different e-commerce businesses is impressive, but we barely got any insights into HOW. Also concerning that while benefiting from Bali's low cost of living, there's zero mention of employing or developing local Indonesian talent in your 19-person team. The digital nomad lifestyle is great, but shouldn't we aim to contribute more meaningfully to the communities hosting us? Would love to see CNBC Make It focus more on actionable business insights and sustainable, ethical entrepreneurship rather than just showcasing villas and pools. The real value is in the how, not the what.

[@EllyKusumastutiDamayanti]

@PulmSweet menurut saya karena selain Bali, mereka cenderung tdk/kurang bisa membawa lifestyle barat mereka, alias lebih dituntut utk bs adaptasi dg setempat, namun di Bali itu masih bisa ter-acomodate, sementara di wilayah lain mereka harus lebih bisa menyesuaikan setiap behaviournya dan kebiasaan hidupnya... maka tdk heran negara seperti Thailand lebih difavoritkan, dgn demikian maka wilayah lain di Indonesia dirasa tdk menarik (terutama utk stay/tinggal), padahal kalau dibilang paradise itu sendiri, keseluruhan Indonesia sdh jelas paradise, tp paradise bagi foreigner ini sptnya agak berbeda dg yg ada di benak kita.

The only bit of criticism I'd have, but irrelevant given that he's a business owner, is that GPA has nothing to do with getting a good job. Maybe your first job you'd be asked that, but I've never had to put that on a resume, or provide proof of education in subsequent jobs. Even in background checks, if you have the work experience, none of that matters. Adding here just in case he ever did decide to get a regular job, but he should continue on this path with his friends -- entrepreneurship is the way to go!

Udah pernah tinggal di US belum cuy? Tahu gak seberapa mahalnya

[@angelsub9184]

​@@Ezratnwdjajaiya makanya, si cowok ini pindah ke Bali, karena duit dia cuman afford jadi middle class di U.S.A. Si cowok di video ini cuman pengen leha-leha di negara orang, tanpa kontribusi balik ke Indonesia. Payah. Liat aja di tim dia gak ada orang lokal sama sekali.

[@NisamiWusami]

if everyone saying bali is cheaper than in their country? what will bali gonna be tho.... here for locals its already expensive than before. not to mention the traffic jam these days omg............

[@timelyferry]

Why don't you push your politicians to not let these ppl inside your country?? Indonesian government offers many packages to foreigners like this. Which is why they are ruining your place for you

[@roshi-u2f]

I am also moving from germany to Bali. because germany is so expensive now

Really good video

ZOT ZOT! Too much partying at UCI with that low GPA? At any rate, employers don't care about your GPA. Nobody asked about mine.

[@lindaakinbusuyi-wilson5957]

Why are so many people negative in the comments . If it’s not for you then move on. I always love a good immigrant story being an immigrant myself 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@NisamiWusami]

THEN PAY TAXES

[@lindaakinbusuyi-wilson5957]

@ clearly our education system has failed us 🤦🏾‍♀️. I live in U.S. and have been paying taxes since age 18. I too am a business owner and always pay extra taxes at the end of the year… you’re welcome ☺️

[@andresinaga9885]

Many Indonesian people doesn't care about his net worth. What makes us dislike was the fact that he (based on the videos) doesn't pay taxes for our local government. He can create thousand of startup by his own hands, but remember local people there are paying taxes, but he's just chill and enjoy his $254K net worth a year without thinking too much about taxes.

[@angelsub9184]

​@@andresinaga9885yeah, so many losers from first world country wants to enjoy luxurious life in South East Asia, not even contributing to help locals to create job for them.

he is a nice kid he deserver it

[@aqilzafran2709]

foreigners that come live in Bali push the cost of living higher for the locals. the locals are struggling with the influx of these people

[@joeswanson733]

that's the drawback of globalization and convenient air travel the internet and just online business that is a reality now.

[@lucthenerd]

Please CNBC stop perpetuating this kind of scheme. Indonesia is not a safe haven where you can exploit the loopholes to live your paradise with little to no benefits to its society. If you still decide to publish this type of scheme, put more emphasis on them paying local taxes and helping local economy rather than just “living out the dream.”

Bali is great. Hope he is paying local taxes

[@jimgreat3820]

Of course not 😂

[@mamaandharry4573]

@ exactly !!! So the ending about contributing back to Bali society is disingenuous

[@jimgreat3820]

@@mamaandharry4573 that's just an empty talk. I bet the owner of the luxurious villa he lives in isn't even a balinese lol

All his costs seem high. I live in Brazil and our current exchange rate is almost $1 to R$6 Brazilian Dollars (Reais). Indonesia should have a decent exchange rate.🤔
