SWNS / Matt Dearing
A British couple sold their home and all their possessions and moved to Bali to become "financially free" - now their rent is just £2k a YEAR.
Matt Dearing, 36, and his partner, Carlie Donnelley, 35, say building their home there will also save them £236,000 overall.
The family from Denton, Manchester, wanted to "escape the rat race" and were sick of "living to work".
They felt they were constantly chasing bills and not spending as much time as they wanted with children Lincoln, seven, Delilah, four and Adelaide, one.
The couple started researching Bali - due to the year-round tourism and hot weather - and sold their three-bedroom property for £365k.
They booked one-way tickets in November 2022 and say relatives thought they were "mad" and didn't believe they'd go through with the move.
