How much does it cost to live in Mexico alone?
To live in Leon on a moderate budget, you'll need around $909/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($276), weekday lunches out ($352), weekend casual meals ($70), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($141), a monthly transit pass ($36), and a few taxi rides ($34). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
