Because many of the site users live in the US as do I. Since the money in Belize is tied to the US at 2 to 1, it can be confusing. No big deal, just the clarification request.

Thanks to all of you smile We put an offer in on a piece of land on the south side of the island. Now we just have to wait and see what happens. With any luck we will be down here by May and be ready to start building.

approximately 1,200 square feet we spend between $250 and $700 BZD per month. I would say the average is right around $400 per month.

For my 1400 sq ft condo it runs between $400 and $600 BZ per. I would leave the overhead fans on all the time and use the AC at night occasionally. Guests would tend to turn on the AC. My stove, refrigerator TV, as well as my many kitchen gadgets eats up electricity.

Water costs $.10 per gal. My daughter and I could not agree on what used the most water; dishwasher or by hand.

The more showers the more water. Having come from NORTHERN California where we had periodic droughts we all got into the habit of military showers: 1 - water on to get wet, 2 - water off to soap up, 3 - water on to rinse off.

You can pretty much control your own usage.

wow pretty extreme rationing on the water. Glad we have City Water which is not expensive at all. My water bills are an average of less than $100 per month in same 5 bed house used by tourists, so I guess not too frugally - I am smart enough to run the toilets off the well though as they use way more than a shower or dishwasher.
