Yes you can. I do only contact work, and I get paid a hourly rate and all expenses, expenses include hotel, rental car, gas, meals, and airline ticket home every weekend. I fly in Monday morning and fly out Thursday afternoon. Then work from home on Friday. I know several people that I work with that live in Canada and fly in to the US. So I sure you could do the same from Mexico. You would just need to live by a major airport. Sometimes you can get projects that you can do remotely. The client like this as they don't have to pay expenses then. I do SAP consulting.

Summer is probably less expensive overall, but the deistination does not have a true season, like a place like Cancun does. Just try to avoid any holiday periods...

I quickly made a check and found the average price to be 660 to San Diego, CA. You're better off going to San Diego then taking the San Diego Trolley to Tijuana. When you arrive at Lindbergh Field you can take a shuttle to the trolley which will take you to the border for about 2.50 US dollars. The border is 15 minutes from the airport by car, and about 45 using the trolley.

acording with Marketing Research companies the level of income in Mexico goes something like A/B (rich people) from 10,000+ usd income per month. C+ ( Middle high class ) from 5,000 us to $9900 monthly C (Middle class) from 800 to 4999 usd per month D.- ( poverty but almost out, this is the average income of most large cities in mexico) 400usd til 799 monthly D-.-(poverty covering some essential needs) from 200 usd to 399 E.- (EXTREME poverty not covering essential needs 16 % of the population) less than 200 usd monthly. Check out BIMSA research of Mexico city.

Poverty in Mexico is different than poverty in the U.S. There are no food stamps or WIC for poor families. No Medicaid, and few social welfare programs. Poverty in Mexico is living in a tin or thatch shack with dirt floors, cooking outside on a wood fire, maybe having a waterpipe outside to get water from...maybe not. No washer, no stove, no refrigerator. I live in Mexico. I have friends and neighbors who are "poor"...live in a one room house , but have a cement floor, running water, a bathroom. a gas stove. But others live in what we would call a shack, dirt floors, wood fires, no indoor plumbing. Most of the extremely poor can neither read nor write and had less than 3 years of school. The education system has room for a GREAT deal of improvement, but at least there is more emphasis on education now and the children of the very poor are more likely to go to school than their parents...IF there is a school available. and IF it is any good. In some parts of the country, this is a great problem. Many of the illegals who enter the U.S. are from these circumstances, and are desparate to better themselves and take care of their families. Seeing this first-hand helps one understand them a little bit better. This does NOTmean I think Immigration...either legal or illegal is the solution..but it does help me understand.

I just got back from Mexico and was looking for a job. If you are unskilled and work at a hotel you make around 30 - 50 pesos a day. I could not find any jobs that required an education, but they are there.

Imagine. A family with economy necessities earns per week around 80-100 dlls. U.S. pays good money per hour comparing with Mexico. Some people who lives in poverty in your country it's cuz they lazy.

you can spend your $20 on the lottery. A hobo with only 3 dollars left has won it.

You have the qualifications for a job that lets you (literally ) lie down on the job, and with no heavy lifting. As it is NOT one which I suggest, I won't name it. You probably have an idea.
5 :
Well I would recommend going to like McDonalds or Taco Bell or Burger King they usually are always hiring and i'm very sorry for the position you are in but thats all that I can come up with I know the economy is EXTREMELY HARD. GOOD LUCK and keep trying to be positive!
6 :
Illegal: steal from shops, sell for cheaper than the shops are asking for, for "bargains" drugs to teenagers (that's obviously in high demand, at least at my school) that's pretty much all I can think of.. Legal: any job you can get Oh, and to save money, at least I'd say shut down your internet and phone if possible. That'll save on monthly bills.

You should probably get a part time job, it can make a lot of money in 6 months. You can also sell useless things you own on ebay, that makes money quickly. You can babysit, petsit, do chores for neighbors or parents.
3 :
Ebay things you dont need any more. Maybe you can do some babysitting or cleaning for friends/ relatives?

How much do I need to make per month to live in Mexico City?
How much do I need to make per month to live in Mexico City?
I'm just trying to find out about much money (in pesos) I would need to live comfortably in a 1 bedroom place in Mexico City with my boyfriend. The job I will be starting when I move will pay around 8000 pesos per month. I'm just trying to find out if this is enough and, if not, how much more I may need.

Its enough if you do not have to maintain a family, for example, for you it'd be really perfect, because you could rent a nice house and live with some luxury, but it also depends of the city where you are gonna be living and the kind of life that you use to have. I know people, for example students that with 8000, they rent a department or a bedroom in a good zone with 3500 average and the rest for food, and other expenses. I hope it made you have at least an idea about it. Greetings
2 :
I am actually in the process of moving to Mexico City myself in about two weeks. I will be teaching English there. According to some research I have done, that would be enough. Cost of transportation and food is pretty low as well. The average cost for a room, not a 1 bedroom apartment, is about 3500 pesos a month. The one bedroom apartments are found to be an average of about 6000 pesos per month. I am finding that most postings include utilities with the rent. If you are looking to live in a 1 bedroom apartment, in a good zone, I suggest you request more money. I have a question about churches in Mexico City. Does anyone know where I can find a good spirit filled church in Mexico City with an English-speaking congregation. A multicultural church would be a plus.
3 :
It sort of depends on where you live and how much you are willing to suffer. You are only going to be making a little over $600 dollars a month and you can't live on that anywhere in Mexico. I have a son in college in Mexico City who shares an apartment there and (not counting tuition) between rent, phone, internet, gas. electricty, etc. and food we spend about $12,000 pesos a month minimum. His housemates have similar expenses. He doesn't have a car, gets around on public transport. I don't see how two adults could possibly live in Mexico City on less than $25,000 pesos net per month. Edit: phone + internet $400/mo. minimum , cable/satelite tv $400/mo. minimum (more if internet is part of the package), gas (if you bathe and cook) $800/mo.minimum, electricity is cheap unless there are problems in your installation and then it's not cheap at all, water and sewerage are expensive and variable-landlords usually try to increase profit by charging you more than the actual water bill, 5 gallon jug of purified water $25 pesos. Most apartment buildings and condos have a security and maintenace person who tenents are supposed to pay. So yes you CAN live in cruddy apartment with only a matress on the floor for furniture, have no tv, phone, cell, or net and risk food poisoning from eating at the stands on the street with 8000 pesos. But if you really want to enjoy your time in Mexico City, even in a modest way, you will need a lot more money.

I don't know about this guy ^, but I'm an international student and my rent is LOADS cheaper than that. For 4,200 peso's a month, I live right near uni and that gets me three meals a day also. You'll be able to find suitable accommodation at around 4,000 per month, and the rest for expenses. Food is reasonably cheap. You'll do fine.
