Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers
Can you save money?
Depends. It's not a super cheap city if you enjoy shopping in the Western-style grocery stores and malls, but it's not nearly as expensive as Singapore. If you want to do a ton of traveling you probably won't save much money, but those are all options that you can skip if you so choose. - May 2016
Yes, but you should travel a ton, too! - Feb 2015
Yes. - Aug 2013
Yes, but you won't. A lot of cheap travel, entertainment, and things to buy. - Aug 2011
Easily, if the travel bug doesn't eat up all of your money in plane tickets! - Mar 2011
Maybe, if you don't travel a lot or buy a lot of Western import items. - May 2009
Depends. Food is pretty cheap but almost everything else is more expensive. Things like movies are very cheap (US$2-4). - Mar 2009
Not really, unless you don't travel and eat only local food. - Jul 2008
Yes. But not as much as other places in Asia. It is too tempting to fly all over the place on Air Asia which offers budget travel...so makes it harder to save but we have, and it can be done. - May 2008
