According to Mexican social care program named Prospera, and academical papers for the Mexican case, saving, credit and insurance has positive effects on individual income. To verify such statements a SVAR is built using Mexican monthly data from January 2000 to December 2017. Estimations show that savings deter purchase power at least for the first two years. Also, credit has a positive impact on purchase power, possibly because more credit is contracted. Finally, insurance acquisition contributes to preserve purchase power.
