Financial planning expert Andy Nugroho also tries to describe what it means to live a decent life in Jakarta.

“We’re talking about a decent life, right? It means having a place to live, being able to eat, being able to go to the office to work, there’s transportation money, then we can dress appropriately according to our work. That’s what I call a decent life, in my opinion,” said Andy to detik.comFriday (10/6/2022).

To answer this question, assume here is a worker or gen z who has just started work. That is, they can be said to be boarding children or rented and not married.

“Then eat to be able to live, at least 4 healthy 5 perfect are still sufficient. The price of eating is around Rp. 20 thousand, this is not eating in a fancy restaurant. A day means Rp. 60 thousand, suppose a month if we are consistent we need a budget of Rp. 1.8 million ,” continued Andy.

Andy also said the range for transportation costs to and from work, using public transportation in Jakarta.

“Transportation costs, for example, we take TransJakarta or maybe continue to take public transportation or KRL. This is an online non-taxi public transportation or online motorcycle taxi.
