In my almost 3 weeks in the US, here's my unsolicited experience so far:

-Shooting guns are crazy fun, it was the first time my wife and I did so.

-You can find dirt cheap deals on clothes in a shop like Burlington.

-I'm surprised at how much decent quality things people throw out of their homes or sell at a garage sale.

-There is a huge amount of variety of food and drinks at stores but prices are at least twice as high than in Mexico.

-Traffic is insane between Atlanta, Nashville and Charlotte.

-Sometimes it feels like I never left Latin america, so many Latinos everywhere.

-Gasoline is cheaper in the US than in Mexico.

-There seems to be so much available work everywhere, especially for truck drivers.

-Middle income america and middle income mexico have huuge differences.

-People don't look at us funny when I mention we homeschool.

#3 - I live a 2 hour drive to the border. I’m sure with the garage sale experience you could understand how many Mexicans load up the beds of their trucks / trailers and drive garage sale items down to sell in Mexico.

Lots of appliances, bikes, tv’s, clothes, etc.

My neighbor across the strip makes the trip about twice a month for extra income.

Uff yes, it looks like a good side hustle, the arbitrage gains can be very good.
