Living the Good Life on $24,000 a Year? Retire in Your 20’s or 30’s?

In contrast, you can pay $30 a month for full coverage auto insurance in Mexico, which includes roadside assistance, 21 day car rental, and legal assistance. Depending on the brand, a full set of car tires will cost you $300-$500 or $600-$800 for truck tires.

The expat life isn't for everybody, but $24,000 a year is enough for a lifestyle upgrade in some countries.

Yeah I'm not interested in living in Mexico. A $24,000 a year salary in the USA isn't going to be the same in Mexico or many other countries. If you're even allowed to work which is where the $24K comes from.

I understand and was only making a comparison.

Many people do not look for jobs in Mexico. Instead, they just work their U.S. remote job there. Many people live like the 1% there because they can do it for the same price that you are probably paying in lifestyle expenses.

As stated before, it's not for everybody, but it's a great way to upgrade your lifestyle with the same amount of money (or even less).
