A lot of questions to answer.聽 To be very brief, we do not have a gym membership.聽 We live very comfortable on $2500 $US per month in a 3 bedroom house in the Cayo District.

Life here is what you make it.聽 You want espresso, it varies from $4.00 to $7.00 Belize or $2.00 to $3.50 $US.

We have a full size truck and gasoline runs monthly about $225 US.聽 Groceries are affordable and vegetables are seasonal.

We go out to eat several times a week.
