How common is it for folks to have almost half a million in the bank?!

The amount was far, far lower than that. Requirements below (tied to the MXN minimum wage), although they have gone up a bit since I applied (which, at the time, was on a lark just to learn the process by doing).

Admittedly, if you don’t have pension income, social security income, investment or rental income, or no earning potential, there will be challenges.
