The thing people get wrong is that Mexico is only cheap if you are earning US dollars, Euros, Canadian dollars, etc. If you are earning Mexican pesos and spending MXN, then you are struggling just like people in the USA are struggling...because even though we earn more in the US, everything is a lot more expensive.

What I admire about Mexicans is that while they live on less than the typical American, they all seem happier and more free emotionally. We Americans tend to be a lot more insecure.

@reynaldomanjarrez5737 3 года назад

You're right, Jim. In Mexico, a country with countless traditions, we ponderate family values, respect for others, friendship, solidarity.... we find the joy of living even while we fight a lot of difficulties. I've been living in the US for +30 year and I can say in general terms that the culture of american life is work, work, work. Success is measured with the amount of money you make and the goods you get, which is not bad at all, of course, but there should be a balance. Cheers, compadre!

Hello Jordon, Maddie and Laska! I'm Carl one of your faithful viewers and I also enjoyed enjoyed La Karencita's Aug 8, 2021 vlog about "How much money do people in Mexico earn? 🇲🇽". It was very informative and valuable. I was impressed on the fact finding she must have done to share with all her viewers on Mexican wages. I was shocked and surprised to learn that the top 1% of Mexican wage earners receive $38, 000 pesos or $1,900 US dollars per month. I know that You both now live in Queretaro which is slightly more expensive than Baja Norte specifically Playas, Rosarito, Ensenada or Tijuana and you noticed that i did not mention Tecate or Mexicali. But the tourism specifically the drive or walk into Mexico as a traveler has brought millions of dollars into Baja pre Covid-19 era and is returning with a vengeance which creates a variety of employment opportunities. Most vloggers tend to shy away from comparisons to Baja in that regard. Even though many Expats and Passport (turn arounds) live in Baja Norte and work in California specifically the greater San Diego area crossing the border daily but earning US wages ranging from $2,000 to $7,000 per month and maintain a very high standard of living with investment in Mexico housing, utilities, food and commodities. Yes and their ability to travel to the US within an hour or two for employment does enhance the return to Mexican lifestyle enormously. I know this is not a even scale comparison to Mexican wage earners but the combinations of opportunities are endless. Thank you for your Tangerine Travel vlogs which are extremely inspiring and motivational. Hey when are you two going to start a "Laska Barks" vlog regarding the day in the Mexican lifestyle of an Expat canine! Please hurry up with the production of signature quality MaddieGold #2

Thank you Karencita. One request: As we have lived in various places in Mexico it has come to our attention that many, many Mexicans either own a house outright because it was in the family or they live in a family owned property and thus, have no monthly rent or mortgage expense. This is why they can live on less. I'd love to hear you talk about that. In Canada and the U.S. it is relatively rare to have no monthly rent or mortgage expense. Owning a house fully paid for is a dream for most of us. I loved this video and yes, the benefits here are so much better in many ways than in Canada. Muchisimas Gracias!

Which is related to another striking difference between México and the rest of North America: entry level construction jobs are some of the lowest paid despite being as haphazardous as in the US and Canada.

@vamp555555 3 года назад

The percentage of Mexicans who have their own home is 73.6%, which is one of the highest rates in the world and 26% of income. This is 1.- Workers through INFONAVIT obtain the economic means, or property, to acquire a home (this is achieved with the contribution of the employer, government and worker in equal parts) 2.- Purchase of land and construction of own house. 3.- They build on top of the family home, or on the family's land. 4.- Invasion of federal or private lands, which are subsequently legalized, and construction of their own house

People's ideas about money are really influeced by where they grew up. I grew up in the United States, but in one of the states with the lowest incomes, and I always thought that was the most I could get paid. I moved to one of the most expensive states, and rent alone is more than my entire salary used to be before I moved. But buying power is really different depending on where you live. Where I live right now, grocery shopping costs more than twice as much as where it did where I used to live, so you don't have a lot of money left over after buying everything you need even though the pay is higher. I really appreciate you sharing this information abotu what's available for local salaries in your area. I think I would still consider going there, even though the pay isn't as much. The benefits do sound good.

@LaKarencitaMX 3 года назад

I couldn't agree more. I also grew up in one of the states where incomes are lower and I had a different idea of what a good income was because things there cost even less (including the rent of a house).

Hola Karen, gracias por hacer este video. La explicación sobre costo de vida y expectativa salarial en México fue muy clara. Concuerdo con algunos entrevistados en que, con unos $30,000 mxn al mes, uno podría darse una vida de clase media alta, solo que no lo veo posible en CDMX. En CDMX, siendo que el costo de vida es muy alto, un estilo de vida de clase media alta me parece sería posible con unos $50,000 mensuales (sin hijos, y soltero) pues las rentas son muy caras en las buenas zonas al igual que los servicios. Al final, mucho del costo de vida dependerá de la ciudad en donde vives. Yo estoy viviendo en una ciudad capital del noreste brasileño desde hace 9 meses. Aquí, con unos 3,000 reales al mes (aprox 12,000 pesos mexicanos) un soltero puede darse una vida de clase media bastante cómoda, lo que es imposible en una ciudad grande como São Paulo o Rio de Janeiro.

A nurse in Mexico can earn a very good salary in Mexico. Depending on her experience, she can earn between $ 369.00 and $ 1,400 per month. more benefits. If she is dedicated to caring for the elderly in private homes, she earns a minimum of 105.00 daily tax-free.

I think quite a few Mexicans fall outside of the minimum wage and benefits for work, especially in more rural areas or else we would have no illegal immigration to the USA from Mexico. Salaries and benefits on the low end in the USA is not very attractive considering the higher cost of living. So I imagine a Mexican earning a good salary in many places wouldn't want to live in the USA. Also there are many people from the USA who want to live in Mexico because of their low income would be good middle income in Mexico. It is interesting that fringe benefits are so much better in Mexico than the USA. My guess before the video started that minimum salary in Mexico would be $400 a month and good salary would be $1500 a month, which is the average social security benefits in the USA ($1544), so it makes sense for many retirees to move to Mexico.

@solstice7308 3 года назад

Yep. I visit Mexico a lot, and I make decent money in the US. However, I remember once going into a store and looking at the pricing of a sweater and I thought right off the bat…This is actually kind of expensive. Then I thought, holy crap, these people can’t afford this! I just thought it was pricey (I think it was like $25) and it was a thin little cardigan. Something I would see here in Jcpenny but expected it to be cheaper in Mexico. I was really upset that day, that there is still so much that needs to be balanced out there to prevent immigration and be able to offer good living conditions to Mexican Ppl. Not rich, just comfortable basic needs without having to worry about little things :/ I really took for granted what I had here.

In the US I’m sure you have heard there are no federally guaranteed benefits. Some people with corporate jobs get benefits through their employer. But most people don’t. So no maternal leave, childcare, holiday bonus, paid time off, any paid holidays, etc. I think the thing you have about earning credits on rent to pay into owning property is incredible! So many people in the US could never own their home. The rent on my apartment is equivalent to $15/hr full time salary, and it’s a cheap apartment for my area. Mexico seems like such an amazing country and the US is so backwards. Thanks for the video!

Executives making $15,000 a month in Mexico is still much less than executives in the US who get hundreds of thousands if not millions in salary and stock options. However making $15,000 a year in a place like Mexico where the cost of living is so low likely will have you living like a millionaire lives in the US. The top 1% salaries in Mexico is around $2000 a month and above. This is why so many people from the US retire there. The average social security check is around $1600 per month. That will put you in the top 5% and if you have a spouse who also receives social security this will have you in the 1%.

Interesting vlog. I've never heard a Mexican Nationalist explain the pay wages and what is average and what is not. I'm in the US - and it depends on what state you live in, regarding minimum wage. A lot of southern states use the Federal Minimum wage...$7.25/hr. That's impossible to live on. I live in Portland Oregon and our minimum wage is $14.00/hr...but the cost of living here is very high, so that's not enough money. Due to Covid, and all the unemployment people received...employers are offering more $$ an hour to get people back to work. My friend is Puerto Vallarta, was shocked at my minimum wage...he'd love to come to the states to work. I have a friend in Guadalajara who is a lawyer...and I make more money than she does. I work at my son's food truck. That's crazy, because she has a solid education...she should make more. As a frequent traveler to Mexico...I watch where I spend my money and always make sure I tip. For me, Mexico is inexpensive, and I'm poor by US standards. I know what it's like to work your butt off and rely on tips for my income. I pass it along. When it's time to retire - which is soon for me, I'll be in Mexico. My US dollar goes much further in Mexico...I cannot afford to retire in the states.

It is logical that your friend is dazzled by the salary, but you just have to tell him that from that salary he will have to pay everything, medical service, house, mortgage, vacations, etc. As for her lawyer friend, if she works independently, she will only have what the cases in which she works generate for her, she fights with the excess of lawyers in this country (343 thousand), for the needs real of it; or economic level of the people who do not allow them to pay one and depend on the state attorneys, who earn a pittance

The wages are standard in third world countries. My country Indonesia is just like Mexico.
