How much does it cost to live in Mexico alone?
To live in Cancun on a moderate budget, you'll need around $1,430/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($405), weekday lunches out ($616), weekend casual meals ($73), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($209), a monthly transit pass ($32), and a few taxi rides ($95). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Mexico for two?
2 persons
$2,723
≈ €2,444
If there are two of you, plan on around $2,723 ≈ €2,444/month — a proper apartment ($672), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Mexico?
With a child, the total comes to around $3,104 ≈ €2,786/month. Kids eat less, rarely pay for transit, but you'll need more taxi rides and little extras add up fast. School fees not included.
