It is....
But you could also blow it pretty fast if you live large. You can easily eat out every meal for only a 3-4 dollars a plate in the city or less outside of teh city; go to bars that are 50 cent beers, live outside of downtown in the business districts etc...
But if you're someone who goes out a lot, likes to be in the "be seen" clubs, goes to girl bars, things are cheap so maybe you decide to take people out, living is cheaper so you decide to go for a nicer condo than you would get in USA....etc. etc....
Before you know it you could be spending more than you do in the USA.
Bottom line is; you CAN live very cheap....or you can live like a high roller for a fraction of what it would cost you in USA. But don't go down there expecting to live a celebrity lifestyle for 3k/mo.
If you go down there...are able to keep your focus on work and not going out, have some fun on the weekends, and dont be a dumbass....Then you'll be fine on a modest paycheck by USA standards
