Not really. That takes care of my boats around the lake to different villages, and transportation around the highland area.
as well as food, and normal expenses. My business expenses are much more high, and dealt with separately. Some business stuff I pay out of my 'spending' money, because I get a better tax break that way. About 40% of my weekly budget is the 'Silly Stuff That Nobody Expects' fund, which pays for incidental stuff that nobody sees coming. I usually end up spending all of that portion.
To put it in some perspective, my dinner tonight was a shredded carrot salad with onions, lime juice from my trees, and sesame oil. Total cost? 1 Quetzal, or about USD0.125 cents. Tomorrow, and Thursday, I have to spend about Q4,000 at the wholesale vegetable markets to buy about 600-800 lbs. of produce for my business next weekend.
