My rent includes everything and a maid, security,wifi, and whatsapp.
I stocked up on food, and I use La Comer for home delivery. My rent was 14K per month and after 14 months 15K per month and the USA cost was $672 to $910, as the dollar falls.I save and give to honest none beggars. live in Queretaro next door, since 2021. This is 70% less than the USA in 2021. I am in my 82nd year, and moved here at 79 in 2021. I have been coming to Mexico, mainly Acapulco for over 62 years, since age 20. I speak Spanish as a second language since age 14 among many other languages, and visiting all over the world on my own dime.
Great video.

Have cousins who migrated to San Miguel three years ago. They are in the process of obtaining permanent resident visas. Visited them last February. They rent a beautiful home with maid service, and their expenses are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than where we're from in the Midwest. We found San Miguel to be a beautiful city. Love the city square, the parks with singing Mariachi bands, and old churches. Enjoyed the shopping and restaurants there. It was never hard to find a Taxi. fares were affordable. The bus system there is "interesting." Also visited the city of Leon. Came home with a LOT of new leather goods. The only difficulty for us was the language barrier. These are true Mexican cities where Spanish is the primary language, and most people didn't speak a lot of English there. Unlike tourist spots like Playa Del Carmen or Cancun. So our weak grasp of Spanish was tested at times. Fortunately, our cousins have become pretty fluent in Spanish during there time in San Miguel. And served as our interpreters. I can see what brings people to this part of the country, and the city, and makes them want to stay. Especially retirees with fixed incomes. But with more foreign expats arriving there, I'm wondering will it eventually lose its charm, and value...
It is rising prices for sure by alot
It really works. I find that I have more left with unbudgeting. Now those Ubers do add up. I have had to use for going to Physical Therapy.
My wife and I will be visiting there in July. I retire in about 2 and half years.
Have you visited San Miguel de Allende before? are you considering San Miguel as a place to retire? Congrats in advance on your retirement.
@@aginggrateful I have never been there but looking for retirement destinations
@@barrettdowning2083 We hope to see you here in July!
Thanks for sharing this. What is the temp there, I was surprised to see the puffer coats. I know the temp ranges in SMA, but I wasn't ready for coats.
It can get a little chilly in the evening and early mornings (40’s -60’s). It warms up to a high of 85 degrees.
😊
Great video!!!! Is the $15 for cells for both of you? We each have 200 pesos telcel amigo pachete, so we are together over $15 a month... just trying to see if we should get a different provider here in mx... thanks for sharing!
It’s $15 for one. We only have one Mexico line for now.
Question, will you do a video or have you done a video on if you have a Mexican. Bank account for paying rent,etc…? Just curious … thanks
We will be working on that video soon. Thank you so much for your comment.
I don't know if you mentioned it before or not, how does the budget in SMA compare to PV for the main things?
We have a video coming out talk g about this very thing. 😁
First time viewer, I'm curious as to if you're not retired.Where do you derive your income.
I'm gonna jam trying to budget but is it based on a lump sum of cash that you have in a bank or income that's being generated.
Thanks for watching. No we're not retired. I work remote. We have a video coming out today about generating income abroad. Hope you watch.
Not bad
Thank you.
I like unbudgeting. I think that's what we've been doing this whole time.
It really is. Thank you for watching! 💖
I am a retired realtor in ny. Can you talk about what it is like being a realtor in SMA
Thank you for your comment. I will be doing a video about that on my other TH-cam channel that I am starting. It’s up and running now @thepreparedagent.
San Miguel de Allende intrigues me. I’ve heard there is a heavy arts focus in this area - would you say this is true?
Yes there is a heavy emphasis on the arts here for sure.
@@aginggrateful It’s on my list because of that, as I’m an artist!
Hi You said $1085 a month for rent, but didn't say how big the apartment/home is .......thanks for letting us know
That house is a 3 bedroom 3 bath with a rooftop. The current house that we're in is a 3 bedroom, 4-1/2 bathroom with a rooftop for $830 USD.
@@aginggrateful Wow that is great! Happy for you, enjoy your new digs
How many bedrooms is your apartment
We have a 3 bedroom 4-1/2 bathroom house
How many bedrooms?

Wow that’s great
Insurance on car
We dont have a car so we have no insurance.
