The Real Cost of Living in Mexico (2026)

Описание: People often ask whether Mexico is still affordable.

That question used to have a simple answer.

Today, it doesn’t.

This isn’t a breakdown of rents or a list of “cheap places.” It’s a look at why so many people feel disappointed when the numbers don’t line up anymore — and why that feeling has more to do with expectations and lifestyle than with Mexico itself.

Mexico didn’t get expensive everywhere.
Certain lifestyles did.

🌎 Welcome to The Accidental Retiree

I retired in Mexico… then somehow built an app. Now I talk about the stuff that actually matters: real estate, investing, travel, and the occasional rant from horseback.

If you’re trying to escape the 9–5, grow your money, or just live a little smarter — you’re in the right place.
