How are the average salary in Mexico and in Cancun. by AlCUN
I have been always doing research on myself, but don't get enough info with whats the real deal. I hear that paychecks in Mexico for a bank employee are like the same as for a McDonald worker in America. Cancun is a nice place, but to work there ...

ATM fees, bank accounts, etc by MTinHCMC
Hi everyone. So what do you seasoned expats in Playa del Carmen do when it comes to money? Do you just use the atms and pay the fee? Is it possible to get a bank account here without being a resident? Our fees are a little ridiculous...I took 4000 ...
