Cost of living is accordingly lower. I lived quite comfortably on my monthly wage of $400 in South Africa when I was starting out in 1998. When it got to around $1800 a month it was really, really comfortable. Your foreign purchasing power sucks so I never bought Apple, but food, accommodation and anything else in the local economy was affordable as heck.

I mean Mexico and the US must be pretty much the same market in terms of food, energy, water prices etc. Half I could understand, one tenth for crossing a border with lots of trade going both ways... it's more than I expected.
