Yes. - May 2016
Yes, but you will want to spend it on weekend getaways all over Mexico and eating out at all the great restaurants. - Oct 2014
Kinda? You have to be thoughtful, same as in the U.S. - Apr 2014
Yes as long as you will not shop along Presidente Mazaryk. - Mar 2014
Absolutely. I traveled every weekend and still managed to accumulate enough savings for a down payment on a house - no joke. The trick: cook your own food. If you eat out, you'll be spending US$30 a meal. It's pricey at nice places. And if you like clubbing, plan on dropping US$100-$150 in an evening, each. - Dec 2013
Maybe. - Jul 2013

It depends! You could, but there is so much to see and do. - Nov 2008
Somewhat. The cost of living is higher than the COLA given by the government. But if you eat at home and restrict travel, you can save. Everything that is kid-related we find to be more expensive than in the U.S. - Oct 2008
