💵 I live on $1,340 a month. No savings, no house, no pension. Just Social Security.
😏 My sister bet me $50 I'd be back in Tennessee in 3 months.
📩 2 years later, I'm still in Mexico… and I'm saving money every month.

And I’m pretty sure that number is triple! Because ti live in Mexico Legally you need :
• Monthly Income: Show a steady monthly pension or income of at least $7,430 USD ($133,733 MXN) per month for the past 6 months.
• Savings or Investments: Show an average bank balance of about $298,000 USD (45,850 UMA) for the past 12 months.
• Note: Many Mexican consulates prefer or require applicants to be officially retired to grant a permanent visa right away
NO, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LIVE IN MEXICO LEGALLY ON THAT INCOME; THEY DO NOT QUALIFY FOR TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT RESIDENCY.
THOSE WHO DO SO RISK DEPORTATION, AND NO—BORDER RUNS ARE NOT AN OPTION.
