How much does it cost to live in Mexico alone?
To live in Guanajuato on a moderate budget, you'll need around $848/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($276), weekday lunches out ($221), weekend casual meals ($74), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($160), a monthly transit pass ($44), and a few taxi rides ($72). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
