My family is considering moving to Mexico (either the Rosarito area or the morelia area). We are hoping that we will get a decent for for somewhere in the $100,000 - $150,000 range.
So, here are some of my questions, and I would be incredibly grateful and ecstatic if you could try to answer them for me!


NOTE: Before you read this, I’d like to say that I have done research but I would really really like to hear from actual expats from themselves and not just statistics and charts, but actual personal experience. I hope you understand and I hope these questions aren’t too bothersome.


My husband was born in Mexico, so are me and my teenage daughter able to get citizenship? How does that work?

My teenage daughter is currently home schooled…..should I continue home schooling her? How are the schools there? (I would only send my daughter to private schools, not public.) Are there English speaking schools?

How about jobs? What are the job areas in Mexico that need workers? Would my daughter be able to get a little job? How much does the average person make in a year and how much is minimum wage? (american us dollar form please)

What are the average house costs (in American us dollars form, please) in rosarito and morelia? Is it easy to buy a house? What about farm cost?

How do the taxes differ from american taxes?

What about health care and dental care?

How do you obtain a driving permit?

How does money exchange happen?

What is the average household income & yearly cost of living?(american us dollars form)


Thank you for taking the time to read and/or answer this. If you can’t (or just don’t feel like) answering any of these, could you at least point me in the right direction?
