The cost of living in the city, such as Kuala Lumpur, is undeniably high, but what about other states, for instance, Kelantan Darul Naim? If you think you can
survive there with less than RM2,000 a month, you might want to reconsider that.
A 24-year-old Kelantanese man debunked the theory that claimed everything is cheap in the state, adding that his monthly salary of RM1,700 is not enough.Firdaus Hamzah, who works as a promoter in the state, admitted that he has to work overtime and another part-time job to get extra money. The man also said that he spent the most on food with his wife every month, with about RM50 used on food every day.
Firdaus’ wife also earns RM1,700 monthly as a salesperson, and on weekends, he will sacrifice his day off to set up tents at the Wakaf Bharu weekly market for RM50.The married couple is currently staying at the man’s house with his family-in-law, and they go to work together in the same car. Firdaus also gives RM300 to his parents every month, and if he has extra, more would be given, reported Astro Awani.
“With our combined income of RM3,400, we still cannot live comfortably in Kelantan. We try our best to spend wisely, especially at times when the cost of living is increasing.”Also read: “I can earn the money again” – M’sian Lives in Hartamas to Stay Atas Even if She Runs Out of Money
