- Common living expenses for things like groceries, electric, and etc.. in San Pedro Sula Honduras. Remember to hit the SUBSCRIBE button to see more videos about our journey living as expats in San Pedro Sula and to help us reach our goal!
Many of our subscribers have messaged us asking us to make this specific video! In this video we will discuss our major/main expenses that we spend each month in Honduras as a family of 5. AND we will also give an estimate for single people or smaller families! ALSO, we will show how it compares to living in the states...all in dollars!
At the end of the video I do a comparison where I purposely leave out housing and tuition expenses. My husband and I are are teachers at an international school and it is common (although not always) for these things to be waived.

Girl your family are living the Hondurean dream like the American dream 🙌
I wish your family the best honduras welcome you guys
Props to you and the family, you just dont know how blessed you are to have each other and get to experience the world. (ijk i can tell your are thankful to be a unit) Dating stinks here, I will go it alone and enjoy a new leash on life and wellbeing. Blessing to you and the family, love each other.
Thank you for your kind words!
My younger sister is a native Honduran and she lives in La ceiba and works from home. She makes around $600 per month and lives comfortably.
Im currently living in San Pedro sula also grew up in Atlanta ga Also shout out to you
I am jealous right now 😢😅 look at that pool and the weather 😍 i currently live in Chicago weather sucks here, hope one day i can move 🙌
Do it! The only regret you might have is not starting sooner ♥️
@MinervesOnTheMove awww thank u sooo much for the moto, mental health is important and be able to live like that and the kids enjoying is a blessing 💙will do working on that right now 🙃
Yalls videos are amazing!
Thanks! Glad you like them ♥️
Enjoy our country, thank for sharing. I miss it a lot.
I can live in Honduras with 600 dollars a month very well,2200 hundred dollars that’s crazy
I would agree and say you could easily do that especially depending on where in Honduras! These are just some figures for our family of 5 and our lifestyle. Thanks for sharing and watching ♥️
You can live with less bro😆all up to u
She lived in one upper class neighborhood hence the higher price plus she's talking about a family of five and the cost includes a full time living maid. Anybody can live on $600 per month but it will definitely be a huge difference in livestyles.
Great video thanks for sharing
Great video. Nice comparisons
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe ♥️
I just found your channel and I love it! I am a sampedrano, and I am so happy that you love my city as much as I do.
Awww thanks for watching! Yes SPS is our favorite. We are very lucky to be here.
Amazing !! Can’t wait to visit !! 🥳🥳🥳
You should!
Thank you for the video! Appreciate this content.
This is so helpful thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
❤❤❤❤ love this video Good to see Ian and his family are doing wonderful in Honduras 🇭🇳 long way from BLMH days 😊😊😊 enjoy guys 🥂 can’t wait to see more videos ❤
Where in Honduras could I live for around $1,000 dollars a month. I’m a single guy looking for a studio or small 1 bedroom. “Nothing fancy” I enjoy going hiking, gym, hot springs, and cooler weather!! Also love amazing food. 😄💪🏻
There is hiking on the coca cola trail and angeli gardens in San Pedro Sula. I am bias and think SPS has everything including modern amenities. If you want the beach though I would say La Ceiba.
@@MinervesOnTheMove Thank you!
If you look for cooler weather, San Pedro Sula is not the city for you, is hot and humid 10 months of the year. You better look for Tegucigalpa, the city Capital for better climate, also the western Departments ( States) of Lempira, Intibuca, Copan, Ocotepeque, for colonial towns and cold weather.
Gurl... im a georgia boy... you sold me on honduras!! Sub'd!! I get my va disability of 4500 a month. Unfortunately fresh divorce coming up but ready for the next chapter. :)
Do it 🙌
Make the move Honduran people are very loving and welcoming🎉
You re very welcome, I live in San Pedro Sula also and I already watched all your videos.
My toddler son and I currently live in southern, rural Costa Rica. $290 total for a very modest two bedroom house, wifi, lights and water. But for many reasons, I am considering other countries. One being that it's important for me to make sure my son sees other/more black children and immerses in the culture. I also miss really good food as well 💚 lastly I am finding myself more annoyed with the importation of goods (peanut butter, diapers etc.) as the main options coupled with the fact that the dollar doesn't go far at all in Costa Rica. It almost sucks your money away lol. Thank you for this insight. Can't wait to visit Honduras and get a feel for the energy.
I highly recommend it here ♥️
@@MinervesOnTheMove Just subscribe to your channel. Been looking for information on Honduras from an expat perspective. I'm looking at different countries to move to.
@@moorfortune901 Thanks for subscribing! Hope you find our videos helpful 💙
Costa Rica is just a media manicured country. The most expensive in Central America. Honduras has more mountains, the second largest coral reef in the world, more Spanish Colonial cities, better gastronomy, more rich history, culture, more natural beauty than Costa Rica, costing 50% less. Once you get to Honduras, you will fall in love with the country. Shed off the dirty media war against Honduras.
If you win a u.s.a. salary its ok
Best wishes to you! I’m moving to HN in two years.
I came across the short videos that you did for this video which was brilliant. Good content. Let me know if you need help on your RUclips journey. You are off to a great start. I’m also from Atlanta.
Yes, please! How can I contact you?
Also, would love to collab
This is Carolyn and not Tom, Love your video. Good move!
Thank you for the info. Could you do a video on how to become an international school teacher and or your day to day?
Yes of course!
Just uploaded a video on a typical Sunday. Will be uploading a weekday and how to become an international teacher next weekend. (fingers crossed)
@@MinervesOnTheMove wow thank you
Love it thank you for the video. Welcome to Honduras. We need green paper to leave the way great god bless everybody
I don't know how your channel came up on my feed but I'm originally from SPS, been in the states since the late 80's but both briefly played baseball at rangers and more importantly myself and my closest cousins of that time were part of Delfines Del Valle swin team. I was just there visiting last week, good luck, subbing to your channel.
Such a small world. Thanks for the comment and the sub!
Your house is beautiful
Hi ! Loving your videos 🥰 . Where can I look for a housemaid ? Thank you 🙏🏼
I would first ask the people that you know. Nothing is better than a reference and word of mouth. Another option is trying an expat group and asking (still always interview the person). If your kids are in school I would def ask the cleaners. They usually have family members or clean homes themselves. Some people prefer live on and some people prefer someone who is there just the day. We always had a live in but found out most people prefer the opposite.
Love this it was so informative! I’m curious to know the price for internet? How about hair maintenance? Have you found any natural hairstylists/branders?
Great questions! I’m growing my hair out so I do my own hair. The boys pay about 800 lempiras in total sooo about 35 dollars in total for all 3 heads? They go to a pretty ritzy place. I will make a video when I do eventually do my hair here.
Yes! internet?
@@anissaruiz9802Honduras has some of the best internet in the world.
Thank you so much for this video. This was super informative. How do you find rental places? Do most people (or expats) use a broker? A realtor? Do Hondurenos use a well known website to find rentals? Also, how is the internet in San PS? Thank you.
My employer actually helped us find our housing but I can find out. Internet is great.
How about hair salons and/or botox spas?
Oh yes! They ARE here.
How is the political life? Is it safe there?
Thnx
Actually working on a video that answers those questions now
School systems for kids there good?
You mentioned that the neighborhood you live in has smaller places as well, how does one go about finding those places to rent? Thanks again for your help.
I am not sure because our job helped us secure our house.
@@MinervesOnTheMove Thank you so much for responding. Where about was the neighborhood if I was to search. It looked so nice!!! Thanks again for all of your help. I've watched damn near every video of yours. haha
@@JaminVanDillen The are is near Plaza Pedregal and it's often referred to as Pedregal. Our employers paid for our housing and I know that specific neighborhood is expensive. I hope this helps!
@@MinervesOnTheMove OK great. Thank you I will start researching. So appreciate your videos and you actually responding. Very kind of you.
Best way is to check the local papers, seek for Se Renta on the classified section. Some may be available on internet.
Electric bill for $400 for a family of five reasonable where I live for a family of 5 I paid $280
What do you do for work
What income level for a family like yours ?
What is healthcare and dental like?
I am moving to honduras , u would be rich up there
What kind of job did you have and how much did you make?
Hi have you done a video explaining how you got your job there? Do schools there hire American nurses?
Hey! I am actually creating the video right now of how to get a job as an international school. If all goes well it will be up by Saturday. My school does not AND it isn’t unheard of.
How is the internet speed there?
I would say just as good as when I was in Atlanta. Sometimes the city has scheduled power outages but I’ve been here a year and there has only been 3.
Will you be getting your citizenship?
If so, could you make a video of the process?
Thank you.
If we do we will 💙 Thanks for watching!
What about solar power ? And dehumidifier and hanging your clothes to dry ?
I just realized something at the end.. why did your rent get taken out for honduras for total bills? Im assuming you bought that property? :)
I put in the details that we actually don’t pay rent. One of the benefits of working at an international school is they usually pay for your housing. That being said our house was provided for so the ending is our true monthly spending.
@@MinervesOnTheMove thatvis absolutely awesome. I didnt read the details but watched the video. Live yalls best life! 👌
where you guys work at and how you keep getting dollars ? to live there .
An international school
For a condo, what do they normally go for?
I am not sure but can find out :)
What kind of business you got into and can we find jobs there?
I’m at international school teacher
Hi there (again! lol)!! I am very interested in connecting with you, if possible? Maybe by email or something since im not on the socials like IG. I am on fb messenger if that works.
I really want to start my research for living in Honduras as its been really calling me. Currently living in Costa Rica and as mentioned, a non-negotiable for me now is the need to see more black children and black people overall. To not be the only ones or very few. I still want to immerse and learn Spanish but I would like to see more black native spanish speakers, etc. Anywho, i would like to know more as far as housing costs and quality based on that cost, closer to more children-friendly activities or places, etc. Would love to connect whenever possible :)
Sent you a PM on facebook :)
Can you get by without being fluent ?
Many people in San Pedro Sula (and in other cities in Honduras) are either fluent or can hold a small conversation in english, so it is not a problem if you aren't fluent in spanish, but it is good to know if you are staying for a long term.
I’d have to agree. There are a lot of people who speak English in the city. There have been many times in a store or a restaurant someone has heard us speak English and excitedly wanted to speak English with us or we were struggling and a stranger has offered to help us with Spanish.
But the city is dangerous ?
If you're from America that question is kind of irrelevant honestly. As unpredictable as the u.s at least a lot of these cou tries are predictable.
Geez how can you afford that here lol
It doesn't make any sense that you are saving money. What do you do for a living, a teacher? Teachers don't make any money anywhere, especially in Honduras, the most $600/month.
My husband and I are both teachers. We do save and spend. I can’t speak for all the teachers in Honduras only for us.
That not true
In America you live in the wrong state! Like living in a big city and that will cost a pretty penny. Living in a warm area costs more.
