The only thing that makes it "a lot" is how pathetic the wages are in Mexico compared to it. But you aren't living large in Guadalajara on $20k/year.

Only some things are particularly cheap in Mexico like labor and anything where labor is the main input, like services.

And some things that you'd think would be in reach of a Mexican software developer, like sending your kids to a decent private school, are not.
