How much does it cost to live in Mexico alone?
To live in Oaxaca on a moderate budget, you'll need around $924/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($396), weekday lunches out ($223), weekend casual meals ($71), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($117), a monthly transit pass ($29), and a few taxi rides ($89). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
