It’s Getting Difficult To Live On My Pension In Mexico

This morning I went to the fancy grocery store in town called City Market. They have several restaurants and gourmet foods, in addition to more basic grocery items. I don’t have a car, so I usually take taxis or walk around town. The taxi prices have gone up in the eight years that I’ve lived here, but they are still much cheaper than taxis in the USA. The taxi ride to the store was 89 pesos and 80 pesos to come home. These are the current rates for taking a taxi within the city limits. In the last couple of days, we have been getting about 16.9 pesos to the US dollar. If we use this as our exchange rate, the rides to the store and back were $5.26 US dollars and $4.73 US dollars. <a href="https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/its-getting-difficult-to-live-on-my-pension-in-mexico-336234d97fa7">Click Here</a>
