Hi All,

I'll be moving to Jakarta by Nov end.
My office is at Menteng Dalam.
I will be getting around 40 million IDR after all the taxes.
Medical is covered. Education i have to pay.
What i want to know are the following:

1. Cost of renting a 1BHK near to office.
2. Schooling for my daughter near to office (English Medium - kindergarten) - Checked out Highscope...Any reviews on this?
3. Avg cost of living for a family ( 3 people)
4. Is the package enough to save something?

It would be of great help if you guys can throw some light on the above points.

Cheers
Vivek

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the reply.
I did go through most of the previous threads.
Got a broad idea but wasn't too sure about rent and schooling in the area i mentioned.
So thought of putting this up.

It would be helpful, if you can share some info.
Apologies for asking you to write again.

Cheers
Vivek
