  • @KarynHill
    @KarynHill 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +64

    I'm considering moving to Mexico when I retire (roughly 8 years). Like most, my 401k has been taking a beating, and I started it way late (I was on disability), so it's not going to be a great help. Seeing your expenses is really helpful for me. When I do it, I'll be by myself, but I'll also rent an apartment or, if my savings hold out, buy a small place. I love to cook, so I likely will only need a little for eating out (although I absolutely will sometimes). Do you run into U.S. or Canadian expat communities much?

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      Mexico is a great choice for retirement! I think the gated communities are where it starts to get expensive. We didn't tap into any expat communities here, but I know there are a lot in Oaxaca. A place where we found a lot of Expats was in San Miguel de Allende. Might be worth checking out - though more expensive there because of it.

    • @KarynHill
      @KarynHill 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      @@EricandSarah That's my assumption, that any area with any size of an expat community will be more expensive. I haven't yet decided how close I want to be to one. Maybe very close, maybe far away. I'm quite an introvert and not sure how much community I'll want. Thanks for responding so quickly!

      I am also a foreigner and I have been here in Mexico for many years but I am sorry to disappoint you, the taxes here are not cheap at all and even less so to open a store. I have so far had 3 stores that open and close due to the high costs. I think it is time to think about another strategy

    • @jasonhill9674

    My wife and I relocated to Morelia, Michoacan three years ago. She's a Mexican citizen, and I'm from Reno, Nevada..it's been absolutely wonderful!
    As far as the cost of living goes, we rnt a beautiful, nearly 4000 square ft home, in a very nice neighborhood for 8000 pesos ($400 USD) per month! Everything is affordable, the culture is amazing, and the people are welcoming. We live VERY well on my Social Security alone! The best move I've ever made. We've never seen a need for a car, everything is within walking distance. UBER suffices when needed. I had surgery for a brain aneurysm while in Mexico, and the medical care was outstanding, the doctors were great, and the hospital was modern.
    We've never been victimized by ANY crime. It happens in every large in the world, but it hasn't happened to us.
    Good video, you can get used to the life!

      I don't know how you can find such deals - maybe because your wife is a citizen? We are in Riviera Maya and a furnished apt with 2b 2b with just 700 sq ft is 14000 pesos in a nice privada. Can't find anything less on FB marketplace, and Vivanuncios or Imuebles24 is even higher prices (no 2b 2b under 16k pesos).
      Our rent went from 700 usd to 900 usd just because of conversion rates... wish we could pay 8000 for even a small apartment.
      We also walked around, called "se renta" signs and still nothing lower than 14k pesos...

    $200/ groceries? I know it varies, I assume you buy some meat? We easily do about 4x / month in FLA. And we pay about $150/mon for spring water delivery. No drinking from tap in US.

      yeah we live in cancun and can't go under $500 usd in groceries plus around 200 usd in coffeeshops, plus like $30 for potable water deliveries... so $700-800 total... we don't eat much meat but good peanut butter, cashews, walnuts, honey, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil - these are 3 times the price in Mexico...

    Eric remember when you're walking with your lady to walk on the side closest to the street.

      It's pretty much a cash based society. Most merchants and landlords prefer cash for obvious reasons. You also stand a much better chance of getting ripped off using a credit card and eventually you will, I can guarantee it! Getting your bank account drained will most likely ruin your visit. Plus if you pull out a credit card you will get overcharged and there will be no chance for bartering. Get a Charles Schwab debit card or similar that refunds all ATM and exchange rate fees and just take out cash from an ATM as you need it. BTW- I live here and I never use my credit cards unless I absolutely have to. Haven't used one in years. The smaller bills are plasticized and I regularly swim and surf with money in my baggies (surf shorts) and you will need some coins to use most restrooms....Buena suerte!

    For the Americans and Canadians immigrants that want to come to live in Mexico: learn the language. It will make assimilation easier.

    Whoa, have you went to the doctor about those moles, mucho moles. Could be an indication of skin cancer, I have less than you but the doctor warned me anyway a few years ago. Was told to wear long sleeved shirts and cover my skin better, avoid UV exposure etc.
    I hope it's nothing but you should book an appointment I think or at least research a bit :/

      Thanks for your concern! My body has been covered in moles and freckles my whole life and they’re all safe :) If I’m ever concerned about one, I ask my doctor but there’s nothing to be worried about!
