Think in Pesos!



80 pesos! I'm Rich!

One of the many things i loved about Mexico when i first moved here (2 months ago) was how cheap everything was! I mean come on, $200usd for rent?! Food to feed three mouths $250 usd a month?! It's amazing! Who could complain?


Well.. I guess I can now lol.. Luckily my husband and I had eachother to remind at every turn, "Think in pesos..". It's true. Everything is in fact cheaper here, at least when compared to the US Dollar. But when your earning in pesos, that 2000 peso monthly rent starts looking pretty steep. Especially when your relying on a single income. And savings only last for so long.


It's great for those who have social security checks, or retierment savings, and they can have a decent living in Mexico. Even young expats can. But for me and my family, we're completely starting over here, with a minimal savings. I know that wasn't too smart, but in my defense, i love my husband very much and would rather come from my ownn free will then have him be deported. And hey if life was easy it wouldn't be as much fun.


So for now i will write my blog and pray one day it will bring in income, as my husband works cooking for pesos. Hasta Luego!
