A British couple sold their home and all their possessions and moved to Bali to become “financially free” – now their rent is just £2,000 (€2,300) a year.
Matt Dearing, 36, and his partner, Carlie Donnelley, 35, say building their home in the holiday hot spot will also save them £236,000.The family from Denton, Manchester, wanted to “escape the rat race” and were sick of “living to work”.
The family now plan to build two, four or five-bedroom villas, on their 1200 square meter plot of land. Then they’ll sell one and buy more land to build more. In the interim, they live in a three-bedroom home on separate land. “At the time I owned five houses in Manchester, and I realised that in order for me to be financially free I would need 10 of those but I wanted to do it quicker.“I didn’t really go out partying – my main goal was that I wanted to be financially free. It was something I have been pushing for the last 10 years, because of the cost of living in Bali, it is something we will achieve quicker.”
