Medical Equipment Technologist
My boyfriend said the pay scale is low in Mexico, but could I survive if I moved there (Cancun)?
Seriously…i wanna catch fish and drift asleep watching the ocean. Alice In Cancun is sooo lucky. Maybe she will answer this? I have a degree as a medical technologist (scientist lab stuff) and my boyfriend worked for Toyota company and now works for Finco which are buyers/re-marketers of various assets, including but limited to:
Construction equipment
Machine tools
Broadcast video and audio equipment
Computer equipment

Aircraft
Sooo could we have a chance…just guestimating? What do the houses go for around Cancun….for something 2 bedroom like. Just getting some ideas. Thanks.
Dang Charlie…you are great…can i carry you along with me…you are a bunny right? Thanks.
Well, here you go…you asked for it!
Living in paradise is wonderful without a doubt! However, even in paradise there is a “darkside.”
One of the darksides is this…Immigrations. Unless you can prove that you can bring in almost $3,000 USD per month into your bank account (per couple) and this is owning your own home you will not be allowed to legally stay here. And…you will not make that unless you work Timeshare (during high season) or work illegally…
My story:
In February this year my husband and I needed to renew our FM3. His was approved without a hitch…2-weeks and he was done for another year. Me? Over 90-days! I kept having to provide more and more, crazy stuff to be translated by an offical government approved translator ($25.00usd per page) so very frustrating.
And this is just a small part…
Check out a couple of local websites:

Housing costs, depends on the neighborhood (supermananza SM). I live in the city of Cancun not the hotel zone in a good area close to Plaza Las Americas, resturants, grocery stores, bus stops and taxis. We own a 2-bedroom, 2-bath with attached maids quarters (maid not included). There are 2-buildings with 6-departmentos (condos) each, a common area with pool and BBQ. If there was one for sale…around $150,000 to $200,000 usd. Houses across the street in a new development start at $220,000… (Note: we were very, very lucky and didn’t have to pay near that much…many years ago.)
Across town in the “older part” prices are much less $50,000 to $100,000, which will need to be fixed up!
Rents…in SM32 (nice older, neighborhood) $450 our neighborhood $1,000.00 month…bring your own light bulbs. No kidding- there is a chance that the light switch covers are missing too.
Hotel Zone…millions and all grocery stores, schools, doctors are in El Centro.
Check out those local sites and ask questions of other Expats living is Cancun.
Sorry…spell check is not working for me today.
