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! $$$

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.

Gosh you make me feel like I’m throwing money away just by being in the states 😅

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!

Great video! Super interesting to hear the prices of medical/dental care.

I'm pursuing FIRE (hopefully within 10 years) and never really thought about leaving the country before a few weeks ago. Starting to realize, it may be a good option for me. I'll have to keep learning more about Mexico, learn Spanish, take some vacations and decide in 10 years. Thanks for all the information in this video.

Thank you for this!

I love this video! Thank you!

Thanks for the info

Great video, this gal really knows her stuff.

I had a crown done in PV, for $525 and it was a quick 3 hour visit!! Much cheaper than my $1500 invoice in Canada. Trip was already planned, but trip and crown = price of a crown in Alberta, Canada!

Great video! 😊

Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience Cheers J&D 2 Canadians living in Mexico Merida

Good information 👍

Nice! Im from Mexico but live in El Paso, Texas because i like the easy access to Mexican goods and services. Definitely a big plus

Thanks really nice video

Interesting as always! Now I’m going to check out your Cuernavaca videos. It’s on our list to check out for retirement

Your info is great. Insaaaaanely 😉

Loved the video and you have a new follower. My one question is how will you handle a medical emergency expense wise? I know it is cheaper there and you are younger but if something serious happens what do you do? Thanks for the video.

Hope to live in Mexico for a few months this year, take surf lessons, and volunteer with the sea turtles. Will try to stay under $1000/month, maybe less. Being a minimalist, I think it's possible. Thank you for the great info! 👍❤️

interesting info's. thanks

Do you mind me asking what company you work for?? Great video! Dreaming of traveling when its safe again!

That root canal price is flat out incredible.

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.

thanks appriciate this so much! I am leaving Netherlands which is just too cold and way too expensive!

You can live very well on $1000 (roughly 20,000 pesos) a month in Zihuatanejo. Rent for a 1 bedroom apt $3000 pesos, cable/internet $500, electric $200, water $80.

The dental prices are really reasonable!

What a cheerful lady 😇

I love your video! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I will now follow your adventures!💃🏼 Are the costs for one or 2 person in the 1000-1500$ usd?

We just got back from 8 months in Baja. Groceries at even supermercados was about 1/2 what it was in Texas.

Looking forward to my golden years there!

hey thanks for great content -- can I confirm are those numbers you talked about for 2 people?

You can live on $1000 monthly here, but must prove twice that amount and more to get residency

Planning on early retirement, and moving from California to Tepotzlan. We'll start renting until certain we want to stay there forever :) Thanks for the info.

Our retirement city short list is Queretaro, Morelia, Oaxaca, Puebla, or San Cristobal de las casas. We want cool weather, we speak Spanish, and have lived abroad before. We are Vegan which means our food bill is fairly low. We are hoping to keep our budget between $1800-$2000/month. Thoughts ? Thx for the great video !

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!

I'm mexican living in México and i can Say that the key is earn in the us, spend in México, if You can do it.

What kid of work do you do? I'm thinking of moving to Mexico once I finish college, while I wait for my K-1visa to process. It would be awesome to make US money while living Mexican

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.

Where is the best place for a senior healthy and quiet

Great video... and just to clarify your amounts were for the two of you... correct?

Hi beautiful, I came across your video and I just recently moved to Mexico with my daughter. I recently left a unhealthy relationship and wanted a fresh new start I am a US citizen but I will spend most of my time in Mexico but I am trying to find a remote job that can allow that. If you can help with any suggestions that will me amazing. I see your video but a lot of the jobs I’m seeing say I have to live in the us 😢

Groceries are much cheaper in Mexico than US We live In both places and we save a lot of money in food when we're in Mexico

It would have been nice to see what the places looked like that you lived in.

l am very interested in moving out there. What is health care like? How is covid right now?

would love to find out where the 750,- pool condo was ?

Those prices are normal. Its what we pay here in europe for medical and dentist care. Exactly same.

You can but it will be tight unless you own a home outright in la paz BCS

What has filing taxes in Mexico been like. I mean being tax resident in Mexico means having to file there in addition to the US for Americans, so what is that like?

i have a question, if someone know the answer i would appreciate! i live in Quebec, Canada, i work for an IT company, the company allows us to telework 100% of time, pre and post pandemic. so i was wondering how it would work, pay wise, mooving to Mexico, like puerto vallarta, keeping my Canadian IT jobs, more in regards to tax... i guess i would not be paying TX in Canada and Quebec anymore, since i would not have my cividc address there, so that would mean, i need to open a bank account in Mexico, and the cie will deposit my $$$ there ? so this means i would pay Mexico taxes ? or should i think more of keeping my civic address and my bank account in canada and just... ok this is confusing me ! how should i prepare a move to mexico, to which specilist i must talk to for planing this money wise ? i want to keep my Canadian job as it pays a lot and my CIE allow me that while keeping the same salary.

can you recommend ideas, on how you get cheap rent :)

Do you run AC in the Winter?

Back to the future in '70s. Go to Mexico!

Hey what’s the name of that app ?

Everything is insane__!!

1500 a month?? DREAM ON. To qualify for a permanent resident visa to Mexico you have to prove that you have a monthly income of 4000 dollars a month. I am working an extra year in the US to qualify for the temporary resident visa (2600 a month).

Wow i keep hearing rent prices alot higher in Puerto Vallarta

I'm paying $1036 for my apartment in PV which includes everything but I'm right by the beach and it's a pretty modern building.

Monterrey it is the most expensive city in Mèxico. Grocery it is same expensive as England. (North of England) some things are more expensive in Monterrey.

Is it hard to find a Job in Mexico if you don’t know anybody? And how much would you save up USD before doing it?

Did the food affect your stomach negatively when you first got there?

Clothes is another cost that is very similar to the US.

I think if I was in Mexico, I would want health insurance, but with a crazy high deductible so I was paying most services out of pocket. A "what if I get cancer" plan.

Have lived in Mexico for $300 a month, i just pay bills and food. But then again my parents own the house 😛

New subscriber I want to live somewhere safe and can I live in a all inclusive hotel at this amount ❤️👍👍👍

When was this ? Is this current ?

When you said "we", was it a monthly expenses for 2 people or just for yourself? Thanks!

I just moved to Mexico!

Well that is expense for 2 people so basically they live foe $500 - $700 a month which is a realistic number

You might be able to only spend 1 k per month in Mexico, but i have been told, that Mexico may require you to have much more disposable income than just 1000.00 dollars to live on, before they let you live there permanent.

Can anyone tell us how much does it cost to study an MBA in Mexico? Also do they use Spanish language or English?

Single and family would be informational

You talked about everything except one: what type of visa you have for two years?

*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?*

Im over here eating processed food mad at myself

viva mexico

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

Is 30000 Mexico pesos in Mexico City is good salary

Have you very been in Mexico Estado de México?? At the north area as Cuautitlan Izcalli as invest to retired , it is so close from Mexico city and have everything to give the american retired people good quality life...l

For you and your husband you only spent $100-$300 USD a month on groceries? Wow! For the 2 of you? What part of Mexico was that in?

They have internet in Mexico?

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.

Don’t go without ins

Do you feel safe in Mexico?

Life is simpler in Yucatan

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

I'm a Mexican architect I met my wife in Seattle she's from the Czech Republic after a while we came to Mexico to live and everything has gone very well she has a job as a psychologist in a university and I work in a construction company we live in León-Silao is near to Jalisco

Also this is a tourist area, more expensive

There are 1.5 million Americans living in Mexico -

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.

cost of living in Mexico looks cheaper than in the Philippines

In a hurry ...?

why don't you guys have a car?

They are overpaying 😂

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

Are you illegal in Mexico?

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

Video starts at 7:03. Everything else is relevant and filler.

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.
