How much money do i need to be able to live (rent an apt., food,etc.) in a nice coastal town Mexico for 6 mos.

Question

i want to live in a place like Cozumel or Cancun, on the Western Caribbean. I will be working after about 3 mos. of r&r.

Answer 1

I am actually looking into doing the same type of thing but want to move somewhere like Playa del Carmen, MX closer to the resorts where it's a bit safer. From the research I've done, if you work at a resort, some of the higher class ones will provide accomodations/meals but it's nothing fancy & you have to share with other employees. As for wages, you don't get much but if you're not paying rent/food & you're only there for 6 months then how much do you really need? Downside though is you may have to work 13 hour days & might only get one day off a week. Makes you wonder why people want to move there but things are just different in Mexico - good luck!

Answer 2

It depends.... all those places have apartments starting at 400 - 500 per month going up to 2000. Cancun is SOOOOOOOOOO EXPENSIVE.... there are other small towns like playa del carmen.

I think with 1000 US dlls can find a nice place, have fun without excess and have food and all the things...

Good luck
