locals in Bali make £150/month on average

yet they're the most joyful people I've ever met

I've lived in Bali for 3 years now, and it's COMPLETELY changed my life

whenever I go back to the UK, I'm in a state of literal shock 😭

not just because it's grey... everywhere

but it's the miserable people (or should I say, the societal machine)

they blame it on the cost of living, the rising tax, the weather

but that's all an external excuse up for the real sadness, which is internal

not helped by the competition, the comparison, the consumerism

at times I can't believe I grew up surrounded by it all

to me, Bali is home

the place I'm raising my family

(say hi to our new puppy, Oakley)

it's... freedom

and what is the point of being a business owner, building your own company, going through all those hurdles we go through

if at the end of it, you don't feel free?

I know countless locals that love their life here

They make 3.6million IDR per month (about £150) who

don't want more prioritise family and friends laugh with you until the sun goes down

then they laugh a little more

I'm not a millionaire

I don't have a property or business portfolio

But I do have freedom

If you made it to the end, it might be worth asking yourself what you're actually working for

because maybe it looks a lil different to what you expect
