Hey everyone,
I've been offered a job in KL working between KLCC and Bukit Bintang at a salary of 5500 ringgit per month. I'm just wondering how much will I potentially be able to save per month? I will be on my own and I'm not looking to pay any more than 1800 ringgit per month on accommodation. Taking that aside, with regards to going out I don't think it's something I would do a lot apart from excursions to different cities every now and then, maybe once or twice a month. With regards to food and shopping, I'm happy with going for cheaper options for most of the time. I will be travelling around the city quite often for work purposes. I'm just trying to get a rough idea of how much it may cost to live in KL based on these things? Apologies if there aren't enough details, I'm more than happy to answer more questions. I've visited KL before but I assume the cost of living is quite a bit different to just travelling there.
Also, with regards to accommodation, I was wondering what are the best areas to stay in considering my preferred limit of RM1800 per month? KLCC and Bukit Bintang are the areas I would be working and I would be happy to consider places that require a 40-50 min commute if that gives me more options. I would, however, need to stay in a place where public transport is easily accessible as I am not looking to drive if I accept the job. Will appreciate any help. Thanks!
