    In Mexico we have a say/phrase: “I’ll treat you the same way you treat me” (Te trataré según a como me trates).“To receive you must give.” (Hay que dar para recibir). In simple words, you can expect from others what they expect from you, in order to change that expectation you have to show them who you are so others see/treat you as who you are. Also a heads up/tip: in Mexico you have to be emotionally open, expressing emotions it’s cultural if you don’t you can be seen as someone serious/quiet and/or disrespectful.

      @@MomonaJourney es por que usted los trata bien, la sociedad mexicana no ve nacionalidad, si usted pone atención el mexicano primero te habla español si ve que no entiendes te habla otro idioma siempre intentando comunicarse. El mexicano tiene la educación de decir que todos somos seres humanos, iguales. Incluso hay gente en México que no reconoce a los extranjeros, piensa que todos en su país son mexicanos, se han hecho estudios, y esto debido a que hay mexicanos prietos, morenos, güeros, etc.

    yay, been waiting for this video! what an amazing find! lots of space, 3 bathrooms, nice surroundings with a view and of course excellent price. (the way I found your channel was through Ann and she showed a quick overview of your place). I need to figure out how to get a long term rental while not being a resident. so many of the listings I see on facebook or other websites want to do a credit check and get a co-signer and do all kinds of paperwork that just eliminates them as possibilities for me. I really like the idea of having my own place with my own decor and my own cooking supplies etc rather than always living in air bnbs. the best price I have paid in Mexico is 10500 pesos / month, which in Canadian dollars with the crappy exchange rate now is about $800 a month....

      The only time I was asked for anything before signing a lease was when I first moved here and used a agent. Most people don’t require much. But I do have a lawyer just in case.

      @@MomonaJourney it could just be the difference between me being in the big city of GDL vs where you are in the "sovereign state" of Chiapas. the Mexican government has been doing a lot in the last couple years to track financial transactions, reduce crime and collect taxes. to do many transactions or purchases you now need an RFC number which only citizens or residents can get. sorry if I missed it in the video but how did you find your place? word of mouth? a sign on the house? some kind of listing?

    Question about the cost of living, has it increased as much over the last year as it has in USA and Canada?

    • @MomonaJourney
      @MomonaJourney  Рік тому +1

      Im probably not the right person to answer this. Most of what I spend is directly to people. I Can tell you that neither my rent or any services have gone up (people are not charging more). My bills are only cable and electricity. My electricity did go up but I can’t say it isn’t because my kids forget to turn lights off. I used to pay 400-600 and last bill was 1000. Restaurants have raised prices but by like 10 pesos per item. Seems standard.
      The most noticeable difference for me is the peso to dollar conversion. The peso is going strong so it took my rent from 450 to 530. It’s great that Mexico’s economy is apparently on the rise.
      But like I said… not my wheel house… thus why you will probably not see a “how much I spent video” from me 😂. I just know when I go over budget 😂 and in Guatemala I went waaaaaayyyy over budget… same in Miami!

      Oh gas was interesting! There was a shortage in natural gas last summer and a 30 gal container went up to 750 pesos. But as soon as it was fixed it went right down.. back to 450-500.
