After four months in the U.S. (19 states) and Canada 6 provinces) I couldn't imagine living anywhere else than Mexico. Although we no longer have a house payment and living in the most costly city in Mexico, it is way cheaper than anything we found on our trip. Most retired foreigners are living here because of the weather and because it's cheap. I agree that wages are lower, but money goes much further here especially when we are talking about the benefit of a fixed rate government loan and the other benefits provided by a large employer.
$800 a month is almost 11,000 pesos a month. With your Infonavit points, you can get a nice house even here in Monterrey. Mexico still has a large working age pool to draw from, and if you don't have education wages will remain low. We need to raise the minimum to high school. What do you have to offer if you can only read and write? Sometimes I think people treat education like a hobby or a place to send their kid for the day until they are old enough to work.
