Family of 4 moving to Guatemala

11 years ago

Hello everyone I am moving to Guatemala with my wife and two kids and have some questions. My in laws are retired in guatemala and live in the city of Mixco they have a house in santa lucia where we plan to live in. My wifes parents have a finca in Guatemala the name of the city or region where it is located escapes me at the moment. but the finca has coffee which is not being sold since her parents are not their to attend it as well as mango and a lot of other renewable resources. Our plan is to move there and sell the coffee and mangos along with raising chickens, rabbits, Pigs, and Tilapia. My question is do you guys think that will be enough income to live off of? We have the money to start everything but I am hesitant in leaving everything behind. I currently work For an ambulance company and my wife works at a hospital but I do not see us moving up here in the states and we want to work for ourselves instead of spending our whole life working for others and a slave to our bills. Any input is highly appreciated thank you.
