Can you live on $1000 a month? ( COST OF LIVING IN MEXICO 🇲🇽 )

[@leslylopez5325]

Girl!!! I think you’ve been living outside the US for awhile because for just me and my hubby groceries for a month Is $600-$700 so $300 for groceries is DEFINITELY a money saver! $$$

[@a9arvids]

Thanks for the video! I've lived in Mexico for 2.5 years, and would disagree on grocery prices. You are correct.... If you shop at local fruit/veg markets and carnecerias, your costs will be very cheap! However, shopping at a chain like La Comer/ Walmart / Costco, costs are similar to US. Massage treatments are so cheap, it's awesome!

[@g718ny]

If you really want to save money in Mexico then learn Spanish. I've been here for a little more than 3 years. And the prices that English speaking foreigners (notice i didn't say "expat" lol) say is really not as less as they think they could be saving way more. I spend maybe $350 a month with my rent and all my bills covered. So i would highly recommend if anyone wants to live in Mexico learn the local language because not only will you save more but you'll gain way more that your money cannot buy.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Definitely!!! You're taken a lot more seriously if you can communicate in Spanish.

Well, many professional people like engineers in Mexico make around $1000 USD/month or less and they are the middle or even upper middle class in Mexico so yes, a single person can live quite well on that amount. However, to get that "bang for your buck" so to speak you must live in non resort towns and cities away from expat enclaves. The downside to this is if you don't have at least a very basic working knowledge of Spanish you may become to feel lonely and isolated very fast.

Can anyone recommend resources for long(ish) term rentals in Mexico? We've been spending a couple weeks at a time in Mexico over the course of the past year essentially "commuting" back and forth to the US. We've been staying in Airbnbs which, for us, are okay for stays less than two weeks. Anything more and they're too uncomfortable. The beds universally stink (way too firm/hard, cheap, uncomfortable). The kitchens are too basic and small. And while most have had very good televisions with lots of channels and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc., the living rooms have had cheap and uncomfortable furniture. Our long-term plan it to spend summers in the US and winters in different parts of Mexico maybe 1-2 months at a time. I've yet to stay in an Airbnb that is suitable for stays of that length. I'm looking for websites that offer higher-end, longer-term winter rentals. Anything better than Airbnb-quality. Thanks!

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Good video. I've been here in Mexico since 1989 part time, since 2009 full time (75% of the time), and 100% since I retired from the US government in 2015. Your video is very informative. I just subbed. We're near San Miguel de Allende, but not in it. We have a 55 meter wide by 50 meter deep, high walled 3,500 square foot Hacienda, complete with 6 foot deep pool. We elected to not use the pool as it is too much maintenance, as the house is so big and having so much yard to upkeep. If I told you what we pay for rent... You'd freak out. But, we're the only house here and we know rent increases are coming. I pay all the bills for my father-in-law's in-town house as well, and between the two houses my total bills are less that $1,500 USD per month. Which, leaves us a pretty penny available to continue building our forever home. There are ways to live in Mexico for less than $250 per month, I've set up apartments in towns where I was doing investigations, while maintaining my USA houses and my Mexico houses. I no longer have a USA residence except our family lodge on a resort lake, that the family says I can use for our address in the USA. I also kept my government address in Texas just for mail and government stuff. I had a base house in Saltillo Mexico but after a huge cartel shootout in front of my house in 2012, I moved out of Saltillo for good and combined all my houses in Mexico to just one house here in Guanajuato. We have a 140 pound guard dog and a 30npiund yapper, both are very good vigilance dogs and the big guy is trained for sentry and attack. I legally own firearms here in Mexico and no I'm not going to go into the process of how to do it legally. I hunt, practice, and train the police at times. A world champion local kick boxer has me visit his tournaments to referee and judge the matches and give gun disarm and multiple attacker demonstrations. So I stay busy, even at almost 60 years old. I'm switching my focus to start doing bicycle and running races, and triathlons and decathlons. I plan to begin in a year and quit when I turn 72. I have 2 vans, a sports car, a sport bike (Kawasaki Ninja), and a pickup truck. All of those vehicles came with us from the USA and are all now legally Mexican vehicles. It can be done but I don't recommend it because of the cost. Keep producing great content, I'll be here for awhile. God bless and keep you both safe.

If you’re looking for remote work that essentially means you can do your work from anywhere so it shouldn’t matter if you’re in Mexico. There are tons of remote jobs that don’t require much qualifications like customer service, call centres, remote sales reps, freelance writing/copywriting/content writing, social media management, blogging (this takes awhile to get started up though for making decent $$), transcribing, data entry, administrative work, teaching English as a second language (ESL/TEFL etc) is very popular for many expats. I personally taught myself how to do website design without any educational background, took on a few clients at a discounted price or free to build my resume and then started getting jobs relatively quickly making $25/hour when I was living in the US and Mexico for a bit (I’m from Canada). You can also check out homestays where you essentially volunteer to help hosts with whatever they need on their property for free board. WWOOF also has a great platform of hosts all over the world for this. Do the research. There’s tons of helpful articles all over the internet to explore to give ideas on what could work for you. :)

I think you can stay here in Mexico for up to 6 continuous months as a vacationist without any problem.

You will need to notify your city office when you leave. And you can live in Mexico as a Turist/Visitor but you will need to get out of Mexico (go to any country) every 6 months since visitor permit is for 180 days. You can re-enter next day and you will have a new permit for other 180 days. I’m not an accountant so mine it’s only a random guy suggestion.

Do you feel safe in Mexico?

[@joemartin1253]

Its safer than America.

@@joemartin1253 are you sure?? i wanna go to live in Mexico forever but some people scared me they tell me that is not safe and i'm a girl and i'm single... ( i'm not from usa )

[@quetzilla762]

@@user-dg2dp5ft7m mexican here, it depends on where you live. Asking if living in México is safe is like asking if living in the USA is safe, lol

[@ivanavasquez2475]

Where do you plant to live? I am Mexican, born and raised, I am 29 yo, I have lived in more than 10 cities (Mexicali, Puebla,. CDMX, Uruapan, Veracruz and currently living in Monterrey) and I have never been robbed, never been harassed, kidnapped or something like that, but consider this, I'm a middle class girl, I don't use public transportation and usually only go to "nice" places. I am not rich whatsoever, I don't live in San Pedro Garza García, I live in Guadalupe and I feel pretty safe , but again, my reality is very different to those poorer than me

That's awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@roseswguns]

*Ugh girl, minimum wage is not even 300$ in Mexico. And the %22 of our population lives under 165$ per month.* *So, of course you can live with 1000$. Like, are you fucking kidding me?*

[@jeffreypanaligan6588]

cost of living in Mexico looks cheaper than in the Philippines

[@TouristtoLocal]

Wow! That's interesting to hear!

[@GSXSF1k]

In a hurry ...?

[@charles5770]

Also this is a tourist area, more expensive

[@TouristtoLocal]

totally! Always more expensive in a tourist area!

[@drSamovar]

just means you have to look a little harder, with a little more patience, and befriending everyone you get the chance to......mexico.....you knock, she answer.....

[@didforlove]

why don't you guys have a car?

[@TouristtoLocal]

We didn't have a need for it here. The public transport and Ubers worked fine for us!

Im over here eating processed food mad at myself

[@Magni87]

Didn't watch the video, but the title brought me in. I'm going to claim it's safe to say the answer is "Yes" based on my experience of living for years in Reykjavík, Iceland on $700 a month.

[@timcarr6401]

I'm surprised. That's a first world country. One of the best. How have you managed to get your costs down that low?

[@Kritzlynn]

Everything is insane__!!

[@Joel-ho8xx]

You have to have 2600 a month to live there, which I find odd since the tax payers here take in tens of thousands of Mexicans here and give them food shelter and accommodations free, but a person with less than 2600 a month retirement income can't buy a house with cash and live there which takes Mexico off the list for most. That sucks, imo.

[@BAR475]

Unless someone else is paying your rent... then no... you can't... at least not anymore... Mexico is not a bargain like it used to be.

[@CabanCondosMexico]

Life is simpler in Yucatan

[@TouristtoLocal]

It sure is!

[@youneedacoldpop]

Is that a wedding photo behind you? I thought your fiance came to the states on an unmarried, fiancé k1 visa...

[@TouristtoLocal]

Yup! We had our legal ceremony in the USA, but we did a symbolic ceremony 1 year prior in Mexico. It's a looooong story, but basically we were going to do the symbolic (non-legal) ceremony in Mexico, and then have the K1 visa interview a few weeks after, then get legally married in the USA. When the pandemic happened right after our symbolic ceremony, we ended up having our K1 visa interview canceled. It took a whole year for it to be rescheduled! Then, once we finally got the K1 visa and moved to the USA, we were able to be legally married.

[@youneedacoldpop]

@@TouristtoLocal Gotcha! My Mexican fiancé and I have been waiting over a year just for our NOA2 and would love to symbolically marry there but the lawyer advised against it :/

Are you illegal in Mexico?

Nope :)

[@RexPonder-y6b]

Now it's more expensive in Mexico than the United States and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico

[@luciusirving5926]

Mexico is getting more and more too expensive for me everyday. I rather live in Nicaragua and homestead.

[@alexismartinez-ll6is]

Nice video 😎How Is it possible to live in Mexico and earn dollars ? ... $1,000 dollars is more then enough though😁

[@fmissingsh]

It just seems strange to me that the Mexicans are trying to leave Mexico and come and live in America at the point where they're risking their lives and here you have Americans trying to live in Mexico

[@Where2nextWade]

If you can't live in Mexico on 1000 month your not very smart. Easily can live in Mexico on 450 monthly. Rent phone etc included. Need to stop living lifestyle of the United States. Same goes for I'd say 95% of all countries in the world.
