Thanks Marie Paule! 🧒🏻👩🏼🙌🙌

Thanks for sharing, you guys are awesome. You cover so many different costs of living aspects where other content creators completely fail to share. We guess that your experience living full time in Merida gives you guys valuable information about how upper middle class people live there. We like living life just like you. Congratulations guys 👏 great channel.

We travel frequently internationally, but we are planning on selling everything in Cancun and eventually and living between Progreso and Merida. The airport is concerning me however because we fly internationally frequently for vacations I mean once a month.😨 we are really looking forward to exploring Merida. We do not know it at all.!!!

Thanks for watching! 👩🏼🧒🏻 Oh, that's fabulous. We have great options in the Merida-Progreso area and also an agent in Cancun that can help you sell those properties. Hey, here is our WhatsApp, send us a message and let's talk more about your plans so we can assist you👇: bit.ly/3SFJC8g

We have a lot of rental properties in Cancun and we just bought a gorgeous colonial house in Merida and I noted that it has solar panels and zero light bill. We are very excited to be going there. We have been on the beach in Cancun since we moved here when I was 25 from Canada and we most certainly found it to be far less expensive then Cancun

Hello! 👩🏼🧒🏻 Oh, don't worry, you can take the ADO PLATINUM bus, they have high-end transportation that goes Merida-Cancun back and forth all the time. You can buy tickets online… they don't cost more than $56 USD (www.ado.com.mx/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-uK0BhC0ARIsANQtgGNuCrbMpjhLsZ85UDKsYheOY1AWmHHo0fBeLfnQmK3pcYSERN9RN-YaAht0EALw_wcB)

Hola Alma! Buenos días! Thanks for watching 👩🏼🧒🏻, that's great! we have a lot of mexican american clients, make sure to tell your husband is better to buy sooner than later and make a plan, before prices increase. What if we hop on a video call and talk more about your ideas and needs. We've just got a new website and we are still uploading new information, but we can talk about any given property you guys might be interested in. Here is our website: www.meghanandnoe.com/ecard

Thanks for the realistic calculation, something which many other channels fail miserably to provide. You're leading an upper-middle-class lifestyle there (at least as far as your accomodation goes, with the pool, staff, etc.), and that's not going to cost less than $3K a month in Merida with rent and recreation included.

Rent/Mortgage, savings/investments, car payment (if you don't buy with cash)/maintenance and entertainment are additional expenses to consider budgeting for if anybody's seriously considering this move. Awesome video of your cost of living breakdown though, love Merida :)

Coincidence. Well, we all have to eat💕

Meghan and Noe, Thank You! US$1,520.00 excluding housing. It's not what I pay, it's what my money buys. You mentioned that food was priced similar to to Canada/US. Perhaps, BUT there is a huge difference between the quality of food sourced at Wal-Mart, etc, vs the local grown, NON-GMO produce and meats that is not blasted with preservatives and pesticides. Nor are the pastures treated with pesticides. That is why people that can afford to buy from Sprouts, Wholefood/WholePaycheck buy their food at those establishments.😊

​@@MIKExMASSACRExHello Mike 👩🏼🧒🏻 yes, street food can be a very affordable option, though Yucatán's street food differs a lot from Oaxaca's and even options found in central Mexico. As Far as restaurants, they range from tacos to fine dining, so some are super affordable and some experiences cost the same as restaurants in Canada and the US. Options here exist for every budget and taste! It's a very diverse city.

Is there some assumed relationship between USD and the peso? Do you really pay your bills in us dollars? I live on and off in Mazatlan and all my bills are in pesos. The exchange rate has had a serious impact on the actual cost to me. Pre-covid I paid 24/1 and less than a year ago the peso had risen to 16.8/1. Exchange rates matter unless you are paying in USD

Isn't amazing how affordable life is when government is not involved?! I believe Mexican citizens will be disappointed when the learn that the increase in the federal minimum wage is increase inflation which will result in higher consumer prices!

@MeghanNoeYucatanLiving

23 күн бұрын

The effects of minimum wage laws are complex and depend on a variety of factors. It is important to weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks carefully before making any changes. In the case of Mexico, the recent increase in the minimum wage is intended to help workers keep up with the rising cost of living. However, it is possible that it could also lead to inflation, like you said. Only time will tell what the long-term effects will be 👀
