I mean, if we’re going off of minimum wage, then the MX numbers are also incredibly lower.

Around 13k on the northern border states, around 10k the rest, both monthly. That’s roughly 750 and 550 USD respectively.

And that’s assuming the job is respecting the law.

And plenty of Mexicans live with less than half that. My comment was never meant to be a competition to begin with

certainly not as expensive as it is in the US

I’m aware. This was never intended to be a post bashing Americans, but just to provide further context on the economy of the place oop went to get their dental stuff done

I’m aware that even tho that’s still expensive for Mexicans, it’s more expensive for Americans to stay there. I just didn’t vibe with the whole “guys it’s way cheaper in Mexico” undertone

I’m aware, but if I started talking about that I would’ve ended with an entire wall of text, and I didn’t feel like doing that

Still, thanks for providing additional context

That’s roughly 23k MXN, which is also what some people here earn in an entire month. Just trying to clarify that while it’s certainly not as expensive as it is in the US compared to the average person’s salary, it’s still not as cheap for people who actually live here either
