Will I save money living in Kuala Lumpur?

Answer this Question

We asked expats if they save money living in Kuala Lumpur. They said...

"Living in Kuala Lumpur can be significantly cheaper than living in the United States. The cost of living in Kuala Lumpur is generally lower than in the United States, with rent, food, and transportation being much more affordable. Additionally, the Malaysian currency, the Ringgit, is weaker than the US Dollar, making it easier to stretch your money further. As a result, living in Kuala Lumpur can be a great way to save money," wrote a member who made the move to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
