How much does it cost to live in Mexico outside of the tourist areas?

This is the real 2025 cost of living breakdown for me, as a Mexican, in a typical Mexican town. Life in the tourist hotspots and popular expat destinations in Mexico is pretty expensive but how much does it cost to live like a Mexican?

See how prices differ between Querétaro (one of Mexico's fastest-growing cities) and smaller cities like Tula, Hidalgo. Real examples of rent, food prices, and daily expense.


Whether you're interested in Mexican culture, planning to visit Mexico, or just want to understand your Mexican friends better, this video will give you valuable insights into Mexican society.
