I'd be interested to know the take from some people on this since it's been 3-4 years now since regs went in place in 2012.
My personal take is much of this thread was typical American exaggeration.
First $2000 per month is $24,000 per year and is not much money in the US but plenty in almost all of Mexico to survive. You'd be hard pressed to find places that people actually want to live in California or Florida for that amount yearly. So the ascertation that people with that amount would go elsewhere is mmmm flawed.
The point is to only take in people who can greatly contribute to the society, vs those whom may come legally then try to qualify for Mexican programs. The point isn't even really to stop illegal immigration, as none of these regulations for residente temporal or residente permanente would actually stop those. The rules aimed at preventing illegal immigration are the mandatory passport/passport card requirement which realistically is aimed at keeping poor illegals out. At land borders like San Ysidro and Otay Mesa vehicles are not being checked or asked for passports only those on foot. So basically again they're like if you have money and illegal we'll turn our head, we just don't want legal people using our social system or illegals with no money to support our infrastructure.
Maybe I'm a bit less worried because I'm still working age and my income is double their requirements even though it's a modest income.
And to the person that said we are not guests......yeah we kind of are. Until you have citizenship you're a guest in any country you visit. That's the reason why those on residency in countries can be asked to leave, because just like a guest you are there based on the goodwill of that individual/country/organization etc and if you don't follow the rules they have for their guests you can be asked to leave. And by the way the US enforces that mindset on LPR's much more than virtually any other country.

What is your question? The income required is based on what the minimum wage in Mexico state is, minimum wage times X (300) number days. Since the exchange rate is better than it was 3 years ago, it takes fewer dollars to qualify.
You need to check with the closest Mexican consulate to see if you qualify. If your income is not a guaranteed pension income like Social Security, the rules are different. They assume you will not be earning that much money working in Mexico and it takes some effort to be approved to work in Mexico.
People who have Permanente visas are not guests. They must go through hearings to be removed. They are Permanente because they can live permanently without ever getting more visas.
Temporal visa is 73.04 pesos X 300 = $21, 912 Exchange rate is $1000 USD. The exchange rate has dropped the qualification considerably.
