Our Situation

We are a family of three. My husband and I have been married almost two years, are in our early-mid twenties, and have a 10-month-old son. My work is cooking, cleaning, and taking care of our son. My husband works as a computer programmer for a small startup.

Our savings is down to $5,000. My husband quit his job to work on his own company, then went without income for 4 months. His product isn't finished, but he needed to go back to work. We have a truck, 5th wheel, lots of SCUBA gear, a dSLR, 2 ocean kayaks, and about two suitcases of clothes.

We are travelers, currently living in Santiago, Chile. We don't know how long we'll be here. Could be leaving in two months, three months, or over a year. Our apartment rent and utilities were arranged and paid for through investment in the startup my husband is now working for. They also provide us with $600 a month for our living expenses.

We do have bills at home waiting for us including our accountant, credit cards, and a few medical bills. We need to live off of less than $500 a month, just to keep $5,000. We do plan to sell our posessions next time we return to The States, but we plan to invest the money into the business that my husband has already spent four months building.
