Considering that the minimum wage in Indonesia is around 3mio, and Indonesian's can live off it, you are very well paid mate.
Depending on the country of your destination,
- children education from playground starts from 1.5mio/month and can go up to 2mio/month for college student
- car is quite expensive in Indonesia, but If you manage to buy secondhand, a 5 year old city car might cost you below 100mio
- resto in Indonesia prices have very huge diversity. You can start from 200k for a family dinner up to 2mio
From my experience, out of 52mio, you will be able to save at least 40mio/month
good luck in Indo if you decide to come

You've replied to a very old post but the topic is valid.
One issue for potential expats is knowing how far their salary will go, and your post explains it nicely.

The Indonesia section is one of the weaker parts of the forum with far too few active members.
I'd like to see a lot more positive long term posters.

Hello 
Just for info, the Francophone version of the Indonesia forum is a lot more active than the anglophone one.
