Our Monthly Cost of Living in Mexico in 2024 (Playa del Carmen)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- After living for one month in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, it's time for an update to our monthly cost of living! This month was a little different than last month. Oaxaca was a bit cheaper, but Playa has a lot more activities that you just have to pay for. But did we spend too much?

What do you think? It's little more than we spent in Oaxaca, but things do cost a little more over in Playa del Carmen!

I am not seeing the link to the rental you stayed in....
It's in the description. Just an email address.@@RedSpiralHandTV
@@RedSpiralHandTV we realized we don’t actually a listing link because we booked it directly so we just left the email in the description! You can reach out for photos/listing/etc. :)
Which eSIM carrier did you choose?
Since my husband and I spend close to that for going to a resort for a week, it's quite affordable. I'm adding in the airfare and any activities we do as well. I've been interested in spending a week in Playa del Carmen sometime at an Airbnb and just going out to eat instead of staying at an all inclusive, so you're videos are very helpful.
I'm doing that in March
When you get older, you will find that you will regret more the things you did not do, than those you did. Collect memories, not things.😊
It can be both
Wow. $1000 was more than I expected? So many $500-700 options in Baja. We limited to 3 days a week, only 1 meal a day eating out. Saved a lot!! Tried to limit to $3 tacos out at times. Meds and dental are like $2 to see a doctor, $5 meds. Never needed insurance. Dental is much much lower than US. I cannot imagine $400 for activities. I brought a bike and that’s all I use. Car Rentals are commonly $7 a day, used for some distant beach visits and for whale watching trip. Under $20 for month.
Enjoyed the video of your expenses at Playa de Carmen for the month. I liked how you managed to account for ALL your expenses for the month at Playa de Carmen.
Another great video! You two did a lot of wonderful and memorable things this month. Good for you! After just spending a week in Cancun area I was surprised at how expensive stuff was. Inflation has definitely been a world wide thing.
Thanks Debra! Yes, it was a great month for sure. But you gotta pay to play here. Definitely more difficult to find cheaper options, but we found a way to save here and there.
I just got back from a couple weeks in Playa and now I've been watching all your videos lol. I obviously want to move there now. If you want some proper mexican food go check out Taqueria La Bendicion de Dios after 7pm. Its at 10th Ave and 100 st. Which is the area of town I stayed in. Things get cheaper the further away you get from the main tourist area. Some people may be under the impression it could be an unsafe area of town, however I found it to be the opposite of that personally. Also Playa 88 is a pretty good beach, and the street art in that area of town is phenomenal. Cheers.
Oh awesome!! Thanks for the recommendations 😄
Hi thx for the video but this isn’t really a “living expenses” it’s a “travel expense for a month in playa del Carmen” it is obvious u we’re visiting as tourist packing in as much as possible so it’s slightly misleading to label it as monthly living expense not saying it’s untruthful but there is a clear difference between canadiens visiting for a month budge vs expats living there as retirees or as regular person actually living there
Awesome guys! Living the dream! We are right behind you, except we will live it up in the Philippines! WOW Mexico is beautiful! HAPPY NEW YEARS!❤️🏝️
Oh amazing!! Happy New Years to you as well 😄
Thinking of coming to Playa Del Carmen for a month so this is super helpful, thanks guys!
Glad you thought so!
Love your videos they are very informative. We will be nomad travellers in 2026. So your videos certainly give me a lot of information for nomad travelers eg accomodation, costs, activities etc. thanks Melbourne Australia
Great Info
Good video, very informative, thank you
We’re glad to hear that!
Ahhhh can't wait to see you guys!!! Bring those bands and we can pull our never been used before bands out too .... and all stare at them together 🤣
Thats really informative... I'm gonna check out the insurance thing (I trust you guys) as I need it while I travel as well... Was also glad to see a clip of the video that introduced me to you guys, the delayed getting back home video 😊 also yay bloopskis 😂
Yes SafetyWing is great :) Glad you recognized that clip haha
This was so informative ❤❤❤
Glad you thought so!
@@EricandSarah you guys should hit up @fortheroadtravel (they are on of my favorite Mexico travel channels along with watching all of y'all's Mexico travel of course 😉) they live in Playa and just got my hands on their travel the Riviera Maya guide for my Mexico vacation. Plus they are so sweet I'm sure they'd show you all the unknown spots (Giovanni grew up in Playa) 🏖️
That is actually the Super Chedraui SELECTO which is a high end version of the normal Chedraui and costs a bit more.
$3,100 is the exact same me and my wife spend living abroad (costa rica and Panama).
1200 USA for everything, monthly.
Omg Chedraui is like going to Trader Joe’s 😬 if shop at Soriana and get specialty stuff from Chedraui for sure. They are way more expensive
Cool 😊
I loved PDC!!!
You could have spent more than that in the US or Canada and be bored out of your mind so I think what you spent is quite fair.
That’s very true!!
Nice!!!! if you want to save some money go to eat , where the locals go, I did it and I saved a lot of money and very good food , and also bought and prepared food and snacks when we had any activity .
Seems like reasonable costs for the nice living.
We would agree! Very content!
@@EricandSarah I pay that much living in a rural area in Washington state, where it's cold and rainy.
Great video. Love all your videos. Eric!! Got a little snippet of you with long hair. It looks so good on you. You should grow it back. Sara, i have to have the same thing done to a tooth. Its going to cost me over $750.😢
Haha thanks! I’ve grown it out twice so we’ll see if I do it again one day :)
Another good video. I know some other people post both Canadian and US dollars, but still good that you have included all expenses.. Cheers from BC Canada
Ahh yeah we considered that… but it feels distracting to have pesos, Canadian and American dollars every time 😬
STOP MAKING MEXICO MORE EXPENSIVE!!!! Aqui se habla español, no inglés!
Great video folks, seems really cheap, my wife and I live in Puerto Vallarta and we spend more per month without all your activities.
Oh thanks for sharing! That’s good to know :)
Under$4000 isn’t bad!
I spent $140 US dls in a single meal for 3 people
3 entrées 3 drinks and one appetizer, i think is going to be way more than $400 a month if you dine on 5th Ave
Hola muchachos
¡Hola! 🇲🇽
what part of Mexico was your favorite?
4300 $ Cad for one month seems a lot but for one week in a all incisive for 2 peoples it cost almost the same so it't good for me + the dentist lol
Can live one full year in Guatemala with 4,000$
damn, not cheap place to live at all...doubt many foreigners can live in this place for a long time as it sure does not appear to be cheap. at least i cannot afford to stay in this place....
regular American/Canadian family... Man plus woman and no kids.
Viva México 🇲🇽 God Bless Canadá 🇨🇦
Maybe you should consider that the cartels are around the corner before making such a move
Viva México 🇲🇽
A month is NOT living somewhere, that is called a vacation...
Try 6 months to a year before calling it "living somewhere."
We actually were in Mexico for 6 months last year, but it makes more sense to talk about monthly costs :)
