The city of Yogyakarta in Indonesia has a very low cost of living, being among the cheapest cities in this country.
It is a moderate sized city on Java island, and many say that due to its low living costs, it’s perfect for residents of Indonesia who are elderly and just want to settle down.
However, it’s a great cultural center and for some, it may be a perfect way to combine a cheap way of living and getting to know the true Indonesian culture.
As anywhere else in the world, it is definitely cheaper to eat the street food than to go out to restaurants. However, in Yogyakarta, even the most fancy restaurants shouldn’t represent a huge luxury. They are usually affordable, though if you’re looking to keep your cost of living in Yogyakarta down, stick to the restaurants where you see locals heading off to.
MARKETS
It’s only natural that eating in your own kitchen is always a cheaper option than eating outside, and there are many people who actually prefer this option when on vacation. So for those people, markets are a valid option, and, especially in Yogyakarta – a much cheaper one, at that. Markets in this city offer a very affordable array of products, fruit and vegetables – more affordable than anywhere else in Indonesia.
TRANSPORTATION
Another great thing about cheap living in Yogyakarta is the fact that the transportation is affordable as well. You can opt for public transportation and pay a ticket less than 0.50$, which, for a tourist coming from the western countries, is ridiculous. When it comes to renting vehicles, the best advice for tourists, is to make friends with the locals and let them take you to a rental shop outside of the main tourist areas.
UTILITIES (MONTHLY)
Utilities, for an apartment of a normal size or a bit larger (of about 85m2) cost less than anywhere else in Indonesia, amounting to less than 60$, including electricity, heating, cooling and water. Cell phone services are considerably lower than in most cities as well, while high-speed internet can get a bit pricey, or even pricier than in other Indonesian cities.
SPORTS & LEISURE
You will have to cash out a bit more money if you want to splurge on sports and fitness activities and pass your time this way. Luckily for you, in Yogyakarta, these are very low prices, and most tourists interested in sports will be able to pay for fitness centers that cost about 15$ a month. Renting a tennis court for an hour costs around 2$ in Yogyakarta! We told you it was cheap!
CLOTHING & SHOES
When it comes to clothing and shoes, this is something that isn’t quite necessary for any tourist, but if you happen to want to go shopping, Yogyakarta is absolutely the best city you can do this in. You can find quality jeans like Levi’s for under 30$, dresses and shirts for just 20$, while quality shoes and sneakers cost just above 50$.
RENT PER MONTH
Like in most countries, living and renting apartments, studios or houses depends on the neighborhood and the type of living facility you’re renting. And, like everything else, in Yogyakarta, regardless of the part of the city, rent is much, much cheaper than in other parts of Indonesia. You can expect an apartment for one or two people in the city center to cost up to 130$, while apartments for larger families can cost twice as much and more, depending on the area where you’re renting.
How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Yogyakarta?
Taking into consideration the statistics provided, it can be said that people in Yogyakarta spend most their money in supermarkets and markets, buying food and necessities.
Surprisingly, this is closely followed by expenses on transportation, though Indonesia in general is all about the traffic, so it isn’t that surprising.
People in Yogyakarta also spend a lot of money covering their taxes, rent expenses and utilities, which is normal, considering that these are things that need to be paid.
It also seems that people in Yogyakarta practice sports and leisure and enjoy this more than spending their money on clothing and shoes.
Yogyakarta: Average Salary, Minimum Wage & Mortgages
Unfortunately, Yogyakarta has a very low minimum wage, amounting to about 100$ monthly, which is nowhere near enough to cover all expenses, even with the low cost of living.
If you’re planning on living modestly in Yogyakarta, you will need somewhere around 500$ per month.
This, however, only applies to tourists living in cities like Yogyakarta where people are used to a more modest life and spend less money.
Average salary in Indonesia is around 250$, which is also not enough to cover all your expenses if you want to afford most things necessary for a living.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
