Rita Nugareni
Rita Nugareni is a 32-year-old graduate student who recently returned to Jakarta after studying at the Australian National University in Canberra. With a monthly allowance of 2,700 AUD during her studies, she enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle that included daily coffee rituals. However, upon returning to Jakarta, she found the cost of living, particularly the price of coffee, to be surprisingly high compared to her income, which is now significantly lower. Rita's experiences reflect the challenges faced by many Jakarta residents who struggle with the city's rising living costs.
