My expenses were reasonable this month. I would have been under $1000 but Chase raised the minimum payment on my debt from 2% to 5%. I might just go ahead and pay that off. September expenses should be much lower. I will be able to rent a room for $85 a month in Xela. The cost of the plane tickets has been accounted for in earlier months so my only travel costs will be the bus to Xela and the taxi to the bus station and perhaps one night in a hotel. My next post should be from Guatemala.
This is excellent. I’m a somewhat new reader, and I see real value in lining up what we actually did with our budget goals.
