My mortgage is $1351 a month on a 2 bedroom townhouse plus $297 strata fee Power/hydro We get billed about $422 every 2 months We pay a $660 utility tax, $1300 property tax. Food for 2 people, If we can get it under $300 a week we did good. We're a small couple to! House insurance the most basic plan $78 Car insurance my girlfriend pays $220 I pay $160 Truck Payments on my vehicle $400 a month Cable is $125 for the average package Internet $90 Gas at 1.58 a litre $400 a month We need a bare minimum of $4707 just to survive without cutting essentials Buying a house here without your parents help is impossible, I often think to myself I i need to save for 22 years to retire in Mexico how many years would I have to save to retire in Canada!

Hi Mila! So glad you're considering Cancun! To answer question 1: Are you thinking of transferring current degree credits to Mexico? We don't know much about universities here but there is the Instituto Tecnologico de Cancun. Here's their website which should help answer some of those questions: www.itcancun.edu.mx/ To answer question 2: In Cancun, there are many tourism companies that you could probably easily find jobs with, especially if you know some Spanish. Computer Science is probably one of the best degrees you can have worldwide as every company needs a web developer/IT department. There are also many remote job opportunities available with that expertise so you could potentially work for any company worldwide while living in Cancun (remote jobs are more competitive though). Hope that helps, let us know if you have any other questions!

The hotels own the property in front of the beach and they wil not allow people to walk on their property to get to the beach. So there are stretches of land where hotels are all lined up making it hard to actually get to the beach. Once you are on the beach you can walk up and down the entire beach. Morelos is a small town and a lot more quiet than Cancun with the benefit of having less expensive real estate. Cancun is much bigger and has more variety in stores, groceries, and night life. I think both are great options. Check out Tangerine Travels, they are youtubers who recently moved to Morelos.
