1. How do you get your mission money?
I have a card that they gave me when I got to the mission. I use that card at an ATM to take out money and then we spend that. It comes biweekly, usually on the 14th or 15th and then again on the 29th or 30th.
2. How much money do you get?
Biweekly, I get 2500 lempiras, which is about $100.
3. What do you spend that money on?
The money we get from the mission is typically spent on transportation, food, personal needs (haircuts and hygiene products), and cleaning supplies. In my current area, we don't have to buy a lot of food. We spend a little bit more on transportation.
4. Do you ever run out of money?
In other areas, people do run out of money, mostly because they have to buy all of their food. So, yes, it is possible and quite common in some areas for missionaries to run out of money. But they just have to try to budget really well to cover their expenses. Or, they have to take out their personal money to use that.
5. How do you budget together with your companion?
Usually, each of us just handles our own personal expenses. I buy my stuff and he buys his. If there is something we will both use, we usually go half and half on it. For instance, if we need to buy cleaning supplies, we go half and half. But we typically just buy our own stuff.
