While we have created a blog and post content, we are still finding our way and narrowing down our niche and trying to create good content. We have not even begun to think of site monetization yet. We have a few other sources that are independent of our blog. We left the states with zero debt and about $7,000 in savings. Amy teaches English online a few hours a weeks and we try to line up workaway opportunities where we can. We also have a few hundred a month coming in residually from a couple businesses we started in the states.

we are very close to that 2k a month and should close the gap in the next month or so. We have used a portion of our savings but still have most of it

I will happily answer. Just stepped out to have dinner on a beach in Krabi Thailand. The answer is Zero. Our balance sheet is in the black. So many people we talk to get caught up on this point. I have heard the whole responsibility argument and it just does not hols water for us. The majority of us are going to work until we die and then the retirement goes to cover our estate debts. We have no debt and term life insurance. We actively choose to live our life on a zero balance spreadsheet.

We absolutely have Insurance we purchased in the states that covers us. It is actually pretty good insurance and has a million in coverage for each of us.

YES!!!!!!! people do not realize how much cheaper it is to do this than maintain a middle class lifestyle in the US. Our monthy nut was about $6,000 in the US and we worked full time and had little to no time for ourselves. It costs us less than $2,000 a month here and we live way better!
