only thing thats cheaper in TJ is housing , gas and humen labor..

the food cost compare to US is not that much cheaper.

cost of utilities are about same or some times more because of insurlation.

your moving into another country where your rights are different than living in US..

so, if you do not mind dealing with infastructure of tijuana, how it works, than you will be OK..

i will tell you one thing, if these guys had the money to pay for rent in SD, most of them will move back to US...

its all about trading cost of living verses inconviences of every day life of TJ..

Maybe you havent read my other post's/// I actually live in Acapulco, so I pretty much have a little bit of an idea about the way things work in Mexico (although I am sure TJ is a little diffrent)

I know if I had the monry I am not sure I would move to SD.. I like living in Mexico, BUT unfortuanltly I need to go to the US a few times a month so I need to be closer to the border...

Thanks

If my husband could go back to the usa I would move this minute. Its not so bad here. But here I go no where unless he is with me and there I go everywhere anytime. Its just different.

Put that into the proverbial pipe and have a toke of reality instead of dream inducing weed.



I was being paid on the Mexican scale for the job and was well able to keep my head above water at a third of what I make in the US. But here is the real goodie, drchoi, I can now work in US$ and live on pesos when I move. That is the best of both worlds. jim

now it involves weeds?

you do not live in tijuana yet?

its hard to tell where you live now?

lol

tijuana is not real mexico...

tijuana is not real mexico...

Yes I know, BUT my point was, I am a little better prepared than someone coming striaght from the USA to live there.. TJ is a Border town.. THE border town of all border towns, and border towns are NOT real mexico, I KNOW.. BUT there are elements of real mexico, and elements of USA (Im sure small)... So my point was that I feel I wont have that much of a culture shock....

Thanks again!!
