Come on up to the mountain towns. The Airbnb’s are more reasonably priced and the cost of living is good.
We love the central highlands. Queretaro and San Luis Potosi are two of our favorite cities. We will be back in Queretaro for 6 months in December.
Thanks for sharing this great information about Tulum
very interesting and informative thanks for sharing this !

Thank you so much. We appreciate it a lot. We want to keep sharing everything that we experience with all of you in hopes that it helps people make informed decisions.
Always like that they had wine dispensaries in the supermarkets in Spain, and actual wine bars in the supermarkets in Italy.... Makes shopping that much easier!! So civil...lol
Adding a cocktail or a glass of wine tends to always help keep things civil.
@@GringosRUs What did I come to the store for? I forgot
@@tomm9540 Another glass of wine! That will take care of the list.
Here at lakeside, because Ajijic is protected by a Puebla Magico designation, not much can be changed. The mountains, which tightly ring Lake Chapala are too steep and rugged to be developed. High demand from gringos, mostly US and Canadians, drives up the prices but there’s a geographical limit to how many can be accommodated. I think it actually dissuades folks from living here full time. As a result, a 12 mo lease gets you a good deal. Now in my second year, I negotiated it down to $13,000/mo! I could not afford this lifestyle in the states. You’ve been my champions since your first days of packing!!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Thank you so much Debbie. Demand is a huge driving force when it comes to pricing. We are looking forward to spending time in the lakeside area and experience it for what it is. Thanks.
The best time to go to Chedraui is first thing in the morning (before 10, from an expat resident living in Tulum for 2 years). I am curious where you stayed. I am guessing Aldea Zama.
We were right around the corner from Aldea Zama on Ave. Central. I can't recall the name of the complex, but it was just one roundabout down from Aldea Zama. Yeah, the earlier the better. Thanks Gayle.
You all spend a fortune on your AirbnBs!
It is a lot, but then the stays are always a month or longer and we need enough space for all of the things that travel with us. We also have other requirements that tend to elevate the costs for us. It will be very interesting if we can get a 6 month lease in Queretaro when we are there at the end of this year.
I wasn't expecting that kind of food at a place called Sexy Pizza😮
Threw us for a loop as well Chris. They actually had a full menu other than pizza. It was really very good.
Wow, that is an amazing number! Yes, I'm with you assuming it would have cost more, and you did have a chance to lay low. NO, they are killing the cenotes?!!
I know Cindy. We were shocked. And yes, what is happening there in the entirety of Riviera Maya is insane. It will be a non-stop tourist zone from Cancun to Tulum fairly quickly. It is why we never even considered that area to live in. Just not our style.
Do you have a video about Campeche? I'm planning a stay there. Not much info from expats about it.
We really don't have much on Campeche. We were supposed to spend 7 weeks there but our Airbnb was unfit for us to stay in. We wanted to stay in Campeche but we were unable to find another Airbnb that could accommodate us for 7 weeks or be affordable for us. We really liked what we saw of the city and we hope to be able to return and experience all that the city has to offer. It was clean and we really liked the malecon.
I never know if you are still at the city when you do these cost videos or have moved on to your next location
Thank you for your comment. We always do the cost of living for a location after we have moved to the next location. We track expenses in an app called TravelSpend, so we need to finalize expenses for that city before we can export and analyze the data. We also try to put the month/year of our stay in the description and the video because prices do fluctuate seasonally.
What are your thoughts on PV cost of living?
Can't speak intelligently on PV yet as we haven't gotten there in our tour of Mexico. It is on the schedule and we can't wait to be able to experience it.
Geez, I rented a very rudimentary cabaña on the beach at Tulum 25 years ago - paid $200 pesos & walked to the ruins right from the beach. It was kinda romantic.
It sounds awful now. Not from your video. But from others I've seen lately.
Raw sewage? Nope. No thanks.
Yes Jodi, that would have been great to experience. But sadly, that Tulum no longer exists. It rapidly is following it's northern neighbors PDC and Cancun and becoming a tourist hub. Good or bad it is reality. Thanks for watching.
