Jose is absolutely right. I reside in Mexico. I just recently went to the States to attend an event. I was TOTALLY turned off by the high prices of just about EVERYTHING. Every time I made a purchase, I felt like I was being scammed. I felt bitter that our government would allow this. In the US, we are being literally squeezed to death of our money. There are other living options out there. Like someone once said, "Go where you are treated best."
Thanks for sharing your experience with your recent trip back home. It is sad to see what the country has turned into. Thank god we are safe and sound here in Mexico. Saludos!
@@gumerzambrano Gumer, Jose isn't speaking to ordinary Mexicans he is talking to Americans, Canadians and other foreigners about coming to and living here in Mexico. Jose, Will remember me I'm an English teacher living and teaching in Queretaro. I make more than 2,000 dollars a month and pay 250 dollara a month rent. Back in the U.S. I would be paying over 2,000 dollars a month rent. So again you are trying to compare apples with oranges. Jose isn't taking to ordinary Mexicans he's talking to fellow expats or people who want to become expats!! I agree with youGumer for ordinary Mexicans Mexico isn't low cost, but again Jose isn't speaking to Mexicans he is speaking to expats and people who want to become expats!!! FELIZ NAVIDAD; GUMER!!!!
My son needs to hear this. He was there 7 months and come back to Canada. He's never been happier than when he was in Mexico. He's planning to go back soon!
Being Mexican-American, I truly am blessed. I've experienced Mexico as a child to now, & I will retire & die in Mexico. I'm a U.S. Army veteran, bachelor degree, & have worked hard most of my adult life. I refuse to give all of me (1 life baby) to American corporations.
People are conditioned and encouraged to join the military, especially depending on the circumstances from which they're coming. There's a lot of propaganda induced on Americans by the government to go fight in whichever war. If you dig deep enough, you'll discover the Jesuits use the American empire to do its bidding.
You are such an inspiration. Your attitude is great and your insight into what is important and what is not is so refreshing. We have been coming to Mexico for the winter for many years, and this year we have finally taken the plunge and moved here to stay. Thank you for everything.
Agreed deborah. I too live in TX. Im super friendly but I have lived here for almost 4 years and only have 1 friend. My neighborhood is cold, no friends there either. I was disillusioned into thinking that Texans were friendly..not my experience at all. I thought the state would be strong for the US, patriotic, not so anymore. I gotta get out of the US. I have been researching for almost 15 years..I always come back to Mexico. I started to visit Mexico when I was 13 yrs old (64 now) as I lived in the state right next door. I feel Mexico is my second home. Is the country perfect? No, but what country is perfect. Every country has its problems. The US, Canada and most of Europe is a TOTAL mess and getting more and more like communist countries.
Agreed, Texas is one of the worst! I briefly lived in Texas for 6 months and I couldn't stand it, I don't understand why some people think it's one of the freest states in the US when it's no where near that.
@@kellyname5733 I think some parts of Texas are still patriotic, but I'm not sure that's even a good thing anymore, why support a country who's government, and lets be honest, who has a very large percentage of people that are just going totally in the wrong direction. If you're patriotic in America today you probably support the war machine and a blank check to police the world, and that's just not for me, never has been, it's against my ethics and my spiritual beliefs. Texas is also very expensive as the Op has pointed out, and the people are not friendly to outsiders, or really not friendly to anyone if you live in the big cities, not much different than any large USA city in that way. Texas also has some of the worst drug laws in the country, seriusly, you can be put away for a long time for some rather small amounts of certain substances there, among so many other problems.
This video hit home for me. I'm sick of suffering in silence! I keep talking about moving to Mexico. In 2024 it's time to take action! You are awesome Jose! Feliz Navidad! I will be joining you in Mexico soon! This channel will continue to grow, in 2024. As more of us want out of the U.S.
The united states of America has lost its flavor and have hung on authoritarian ideas. Nothing is free there and the first responders are the first class citizen while the working class people are treated as their cash cattle. They bleed the people dry and leave as many as they can without prosperity in the USA. There is no place you can go to where they are not asking for your identification papers that you must prove in order to be human and they are building their apartheid wall every day. They are building a prison for the people to live in. The USA wants all the people to be residents because resident is a word that stems from the word reside which means to stay only for a while, while that premise is directly against the premise of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as a constitutional republic is supposed to provide.
@@geoffspeed wow. Why do you talk to people like that? Is it because Mexico is unjustly banning vaporizer inhalers for simple tobacco nicotine? Because you could have just said something nice to someone in a good informative way. Yes Mexico is backwards in its enforcement in many areas where human rights and the constitution is not being followed by the culture of policias here, but that doesn't mean you also have to be crude to others. It is like you have been taught to look down your nose at the less fortunate than you by the united states of America and then have brought this baseless ugliness here with you. Lighten up dude. Yes inform others on some dangers but why do it in a way that makes you a jerk to others?
I'm from Vegas, but recently moved to Tijuana and work in San Diego just over the border. My entire bills for the month in TJ are half what just my room was in Vegas, and the salary is 50% higher in SD. I can make my entire month's bills in a week of work or less. I can finally breathe and plan my future. I don't have kids or a girl, it was a cheap one way Greyhound ticket, etc. So it was proly the easiest international move possible lol. But Vegas isn't far from TJ, and it was totally worth it. Some people are scared, etc. But I guess that leaves more blessings for us. I'm glad I finally made the leap, and everyone else I know that did it is too. But some people will never get it. I guess it's not their path to understand. I'd rather my bills be 4 times cheaper than struggle. But that's just me
That is super awesome! Congratulations! You hit the nail right on the head, most people are just too paralyzed with fear to do anything at all to fix their situations. Good thing you were able to figure this out sooner than later. You got a wonderful journey ahead of you, enjoy the ride! Thanks for sharing with us! Feliz Navidad!
@@georgejetson9801 Not everyone will be the same. But I'll break mine down. I live walking distance to the border to save on transportation, and pay for a month pass to catch the train and bus in SD. I also eat tacos at home, I can make $500 MXN (~$29 USD) last 1-2 weeks for tacos. I'm single with no kids. I have a US phone plan. Rent a room in TJ. Okay, break down: Rent: $200 Phone: $75 Train: $75 Food: $100 Total- $450 It's not exact, but basically my main bills are less than $500/mo. Anything else I make is for whatever I want or to save. I'm still a wage slave 😅, so my only option for now is to live close to the border to work. But I work hard no matter where I'm at. At least here I can work hard and actually survive from it. Some people are scared. It's not like that. TJ is a boomtown rn, it will be for the next 25+ years. It's a golden opportunity. I don't think there's anywhere else with higher potential, cheap living right up against the largest state economy in the world. Anyone who doesn't see the potential and benefit just doesn't get it. I may never be able to survive after overtime work in SD. I can survive on part time work in TJ. It's way easier here, but some people will just never understand it. Their loss 🤷🏾♂️. I meet Americans in the line every day that moved here 5, 10, 20+ years ago and love it, live better, never left. We're not crazy. Those who choose to continue being exploited are. Our country doesn't want the sheep to leave the stable. They pay us the lowest they can and charge us the highest they can. Don't want to give enough jobs, hours, or benefits. This is how we beat them at their game. The only money I spend in the US is my phone, train pass, rare snacks, and a little weed lol. The rest I spend in México. The country treats us better
People often look for happiness outside. Your wife, the place you live, the money you make won’t make you happy. To be happy you have to look to yourself, and find out what you have to change about yourself to be happy.
I did that soul searching, what I found is that for my given personality I can't be happy with out freedom, and in the US I'm not free. Could I attempt to radically change my personality so I could be content with a horrible government and being a cog in a wheel? maybe, possibly,. it'd be very hard, but would I want to change what fundamentally make me, me? No, absolutely not. Therefore I determined to truly be happy I have to move to Mexico so I have freedom!
Soy Mexicana y mi esposo también mi esposo trabaja muchísimas horas y recientemente obtuvo su residencia nunca me había dicho de querer en un futuro vivir en Mexico regreso con ganas de regresar para en un futuro vivir.su papá falleció durante la pandemia y no pudo ir su papá le heredó su casita pensamos irla renovando igual este año haber si se puede comenzar un negocio hablo inglés .eres mi you tube favorito totalmente de acuerdo con lo que dices.
Que bueno! Me alegro mucho que los a podido ayudar con mis videos. Buena Suerte con la casa y con todo lo demas! Un abrazote grande! Saludos y Viva Mexico!
Jose, Happy New Year..my sentiments exactly. 6 years I left Tampa, Florida with $3000, a passport, credit card and everything I owned was hanging on my back. Landed in SW Mexico on the Pacific Ocean...I now have my residency in Mexico and live a beautiful life just steps from the beach that would cost me over $150,000 in the USA for about $25,000 ! People are wonderful, excellent medical and dental care..just living the salt life !!! I also speak spanish which is a plus. However like Ringo Starr and Jose say..It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy !!!!!!
I am very happy for you. Good that you had 3000dlls and a plane to fly on. It is harder here at first when you only have 300dlls to start and good for you. You should get some content by posting some videos about your life many might want to get help or inspiration from you.
That is awesome! Who knew we basically had the same story with different outcomes, but both extremely happy and glad we came out here when we did! Thanks again for sharing! Viva Mexico!
Jose, your videos are so important for me, and so inspiring. I'm 60, witha long history of working hard and I have some successes. But I don't have much materially, and I have no family left. I DO have my health and a child-like spirit. It's been my dream to move to Mexico for years! I want things that money can't buy-freedom, peace, growth, joy-things the US can no longer offer me. I just need to figure out the money/work part. I'm giving myself two years to put in the consistent, focused work and planning.
Wow that's awesome! So happy to hear that my videos can be so helpful to you on your own journey for a better life. I hope you get to tie up all your loose ends in the USA soon so that you can enjoy Mexico sooner than later! Good luck with everything! Mexico Awaits your arrival!
Thank you for making these videos. So much of what you say resonates with me. especially this video. Every video of yours, I watch makes me less scared of moving to Mexico and more excited.
A Canadian of 54 yearsof age, I'm visiting Mexico Jan thru March and (hopefully) ratifying my permanent residency application I got at the Mexican Consolate in Toronto. These are initial scouting for an expat community for permanent retirement. I'm a bit scared, but it seems the right thing to do
@@bobbybeast1000me too. I’m the same age and Canadian to boot. I have some French and a little Spanish but certainly not enough to converse. I would love to move to Mexico but I feel I need to learn more Spanish first because I don’t want to be in a total expat community - I want to move to Mexico for Mexico and everything it is, not Canada- light for example. Do you know what I mean?
@@jamesxanthios1317 Yes totally, get the authentic experience, more rewarding, more communal and much less expensive esp if you dont need the beach - I'm also checking out Hawaii and Portugal- of the 3, Portgual might have the most to offer for full time residency - but I'll start with Puerto Vallarta / Sayulita for this winter
Feliz Navidad Jose y Christian! 🎄🍾🎉Thanks for the words of wisdom and the awesome view! Looks like a chill place to ride! If I can leave my Jose Holiday Video Wishlist for 2024: - Real Estate Tours (Neighborhoods, Places for Sale/Rent, and Larger Family Quintas/Haciendas in and on the outskirts of Merida!) - Towns & Beaches around Merida (Daytrips/Potential Alternatives for Relocation) - Day in the Life… We want to know more about you and your life, perspective, and what you’re loving down in Merida! - Food… más comida por favor! Looking forward to seeing what you’re cooking up in 2024!
I made it here, Jose. I am here in Mexico. I need to move further south. I am just starting out and many things are to learn but the people here leave a guy alone for the most part and are so much more open and good to others. There are many things that I need help with.
@youhaverightscopshaveduties, Can you share what types of things you need help with? Are these things related to settling in Mexico, learning out it operates, etc?
@@geoffspeed naw. Not need. Have it. Every day is a good day. Some better than others. When someone is under duress and they are an activist protesting as is their human right to do and under duress, they often do not speak like they normally do. No any good activist uses provocative language in order to cause attention. It is called a cause. I would need help if I didn't catch agents threatening me on video record and if I didn't catch deputies committing crimes against me. The county using the public tools to lie for the employees private gain for agent or agency. Let me guess you are not a slave who thinks they live in a country that promotes freedom while it actually destroys freedom. Let me guess you keep your nose down and shut up and do as you are told so you think you are doing so much better than everyone?
@@Shirley-n-Maryland yes learning how it one should be able to operate within. Beautiful country and beautiful people who mind their own business for the most part. Unlike the USA where the gringos think it is customary to tell others what to do all the time while being condescending and rude but attempt to say rude things in a nice way. I don't need help exactly I think I said that while being overwhelmed. And yeah I may be overwhelmed again in life. So thank you for asking, as you nailed what I would need help with right off the bat.
Perfect timing for this video. I can certainly relate to everything you said in the video. Thank you for being so real and honest, I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you and your wife. 🎄🌟
San Crisano looks sweet. 🏖 Thanks for your message Jose. Your value proposition is that you’re an average dude with no pretence. You speak from the heart and soul and speak the truth. Please keep being you Jose. Merry Christmas to you and Christian from cold Canada. 👊
Funny over the holidays all my family is talking about building up 401ks and pensions and I'm thinking why wait until your at death's door to "retire" ...not me, viva mexico!!
Those same investments that will eventually crash and leave them with nothing while you were living the dream the whole time they were waiting to live the dream. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jose, I really like how you drive around and use the footage for the background while you talk, it makes it so interesting. I was particularly pleased to see San Crisanto because we might be moving there and we can't drive around like that from Canada.
Great video Jose. Merry Christmas to you and your family. We never looked back after leaving USA 3 years ago to a Latin American Country. We lived in Ocala Florida for 6 years and i was born in Seattle Washington. Totally understand ☺️. We love visiting Mexico. American Dream is dead. Government doesn't care about their people
Did you find Seattle or Ocala to be freer? You're right, the US government doesn't care at all about it's people, that's why it prints up trillions and devalues the currency.
8:37 - what a beautiful view!! Too bad you didn't walk to the edge. Seems like you can drive right off the road/cliff there. NO barrier's blocking the beach from the street seems strange🤔🤔 I am a wage slave. Been living/working in the US for 45 yrs. Looking at online/remote work or finding a way to work in the US and live in Mx. Seeing the border crossing video stress me out. Not sure how folks live in Mx and commute to the US for work--DAILY. In the process now of deciding WHAT I WANT for my life.
A bit of a health issue has set us back some, but we still hope to get to Mexico next year. Merida will be our starting point. We may end up moving elsewhere, who knows? Thank you, Jose, for all you do.
Again! ...another fine ,fun philosophical and practical talk. Thanks for being you, an original! A leader not a follower! Merry Christmas to you and Christian & fam!
Soy mexicano y vivo en Los Angeles, CA desde hace casi 30 años, estoy casado con una Estadounidense y estámos pensando irnos a México, primero rentar un apartamento o casa y después talvez comprar. Gracias a tus videos y experiencia de vida me estoy animando a regresarme a mi pais natal y me gustaría Mérida porque sé que es la ciudad mas segura. Quiero empezar desde el principio: qué lugares son los mejores? De preferencia cerca de todo, mercados, hospitales. Seguros médicos, etc, etc. Y si, tienes razón desgraciadamente José, aquí ya no parece ser United States of America, mas bien parece ser ahora United Slaves of America 😢😢😢
Muchas gracias en compartir. Si yo hablo con muchos como usted que han regresado a su pais natal y ha sido la mejor decision que han tomado. Espero que ya pronto tu tambien puedas regresar y vivir en tu pais. Saludos y suerte con todo!
Hello Jose, To you and Christian Feliz Navidad!! This is your friend Aaron from Queretaro.. Going out with some friends for Christmas eve meal!! As I've said before thanks for your lessons about Mexico!! To the Americans and Canadians listening to JOSE abandon your country and come to MEXICO WHERE YOU WILL FINF FREEDOM and LIBERTY!! THANKS AGAIN!! JOSE!! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
Abandon your country..you have to be kidding ! Newsflash ... you can live in Mexico and go back to Canada or the USA. This has to be just stupidity on your part..and it is FIND not FINF !
We are all so pleased with the content of your videos,Jose! I know in my heart ❤️ that I would be happy in Mexico! My Peruvian wife seems hesitant to leave the United States once and for all! She sees the dangers of bigotry and hatred facing this country and the lunatics determined to destroy and divide our diverse communities! Yet I can’t seem to convince her to leave here! Mexico, even with all its problems is still the better and safer country to be in! Thank you 🙏 for sharing these uplifting videos with us all 🙏🏽❤️👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! Everyone gets to the point of no return at a different pace. One day out of nowhere your wife will finally realize enough is enough and come to you to finally make that jump. We all had that moment when we finally realized we had to go, just be patient with her. Seems like she is getting there. In the meantime you can plan ahead while you wait on her. She will want to leave once it gets bad enough, but remember she is also wrestling leaving Peru and now having to leave the USA is not easy. Just keep reminding her how much easier life will be for her in a country that speaks Spanish and has a similar way of life as what she live in Peru than in the US. Good luck with everything. All in due time.
@@JoseArteagaTravels Thank you, Jose, for your encouraging words. I am just worried that by the time she decides to leave the United States, conditions in Mexico with their Immigration Laws may change to such a degree , that it may be impossible for us become permanent residents. I am retired and my income is just two thousand U S dollars. My wife works for minimum wage in Georgia.Any advice would be appreciated. I tried to send you some funds but don’t understand the system. Can I send you something through Western Union? I just feel like you are a younger brother to me. I am from Trinidad and Tobago originally of East Indian descent. My grandparents came from India. We are not wealthy people by any means. My wife is also a great Peruvian cook and would do well opening a little corner restaurant anywhere in Merida or San Miguel de Allende. Keep us in your prayers.’, my younger brother. Muchas gracias, harry madray.🙏🏽❤️
Liked the video. I have nothing against his message. However, I personally think that before making any drastic decisions like moving to another country, one should at least attempt to improve our situation in other ways. Maybe move to cheaper town, live a frugal lifestyle, change jobs, connect with family and friends more, exercise, eat healthy, etc. You can’t expect that a move out of the country is going to solve all your worries. If your issues are purely financial then perhaps it may help but also keep in mind that cost of living in Mexico is starting to go up, thanks to videos like this. Again, I have nothing against the message of this video, just keeping it real.
I am an unemployed techie; been looking for work for 4 months and nada. Mexico is my escape plan but I've drained my savings and need employment. How is the tech/freelance world down there? I'm trying it in America and no bites. I hate it here LOL
Your prayers have been answered! Check out the other videos on my channel and my website for all kinds of FREE information on moving to Mexico! All the info you will need and then some!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for keeping it real Jose. You said you used to live in Miami. I'm a Canadian-American who moved to Orlando from Toronto last year and I can't believe just how expensive things are here. I'm paying at least double what I paid in Toronto (and no doubt it was expensive there). I've been looking into Mexico for a long time, but as a member of the LGBT community I'm conflicted as to which cities down there would be safe/appropriate. What do you suggest?
Feliz navidad! Great question! You can watch these videos for more info th-cam.com/users/livek8NSwiFdA-0?feature=share and th-cam.com/users/livex-ykkdYVCtk?feature=share
Good evening Jose.. I hope you and your loved ones are well.. I recently decided to pull plug and give up rat race.. Looking forward to move southwards
You didn't find Seattle to be freer than Miami? What about the city Busses in Seattle, I know they got them. As far as Miami life goes, I know it can be good for some people, after all some very rich people in live right outside of Miami, but I'm not sure where they make their money, none the less it's must offer a good life to some. Mexico is just a whole new level of freedom though, not sure it can be matched by any state in the US.
@@JoseArteagaTravels Miami sounds like one of the freer places in thew US then, no wonder the rich like, still the problem is if you're not rich it's hard to urk out a living right?
You are very real. You speak from your core. You are not full of pretenses. And you speak truth and hope, practically. That is so rare these days. Candidly? It seems as if so many people in our current time have not been fortified with a basis of what is truly of value in Life. Thus, so many have been pouring all of their life energy into things that don’t matter, or that distract them from all that does. (We can lose everything material that we’ve worked for in an hour or a day, as the folks in Lahaina have experienced.) You aren’t crazy. 🙏 for Great Blessing for Christian and you in the times to come. 🎄Feliz Navidad ✨
Thank you so very much for the kind words, they are truly appreciated. It makes me happy to hear that my simple and humble videos can help out so many. Thanks again for sharing! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones as well!
Feliz Navidad , Prospero Ano y Felicidad, thank you Jose for all the videos for this yr and other yrs. I wish you all the warm Merry Christmas and salud y abundencia y prosperidad para ti y a tu familia
I have no idea, I don't sell or rent real estate. But I do have a video that shows you how you can find out what the locals pay and a bunch of links to useful rental sites th-cam.com/video/hSaGVFFIruE/w-d-xo.html Hope you get to check it out!
Hey Jose…I was just offered $90,000 for almost 4 acres of land in NH. I built a tiny house 6 years ago and wanted to put my house on my property but in order to do that I need to pay about $25,000 for the driveway and the 7 culverts it needs along with needing power and septic. So I would have to get a loan for all that. The problem is I am 66 now and I feel done with all the things I am required to do in order to put my house on my own land. Or I can sell the property and look for something else. I get 2 SS checks a month which is a little over $2000 a month. I have an older son in Michigan I see maybe once a year. A daughter and granddaughter I live 2 hours from. All 3 of my brothers are dead. I suffer in silence but I have not given up. I’ve been to Mexico 4 times and I have a male friend who I have helped a lot on my end. He would love to come to the US but I keep trying to tell him how difficult it is to live here. It seems like I would have a better life in Mexico verses here. Besides I am done with shoveling snow!! Here is just a dead end.
Well my Mexican friend would like to come to the US for opportunity and from what I see I think he’d have more opportunity if I went there. I’ve helped him a lot including paying his way to go to class to learn English. We have fun together and I love my Mexican! I don’t expect anything in return. I just wanted to make one person’s life better in some way before I leave the earth. I will look at your website Too
Revelation 21:4 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Dammit I want to convince my husband so bad but he is not interested, I need help convincing hom that this would be a great move for us, we can't go for a couple of years til our college kids are done so we have time to plan this out!😢😅
It sure seems like it! Only 25 more to go as of writing this! Cant wait to Celebrate it on the last live stream of the year on Thursday! Hope to see you there!
Nice video, seems like an honest video to me too. If I may ask: you said you fit in in Mexico. Unlike, for example, Miami and Seattle. Great for you by the way. But I wondered, did it have to do with your Latino background or the degree of freedom in Mexico (and the USA) that you did fit so well in in Mexico/Merida/Yucatan? I'm from the Netherlands myself and see freedom becoming less and less here . A worrying trend. For me is freedom important. I don't like it when a government determines how you have to live.
If you watch my other videos I go into more detail on the Freedoms we have out here in Mexico.The Freedoms that we have all lost in the first world. Or should I say, "Freedom" the people traded away for "Safety"
How easy is it to work as a resident US citizen for a Mexican company ? The work permit is hard to get? I have retirement, but she wants to stay us us and work. Not sure if she can do online work. Does better with hands-on work.
As long as you are willing to work for Mexican wages which might be about 10-15 USD PER DAY for around 8 hours of work then yes you can easily get a work permit and find remedial jobs
@@JoseArteagaTravels Thank you! I've been wondering about the ease of getting work permits as a non-citizen resident for a while now. No one likes to answer because they think it's bad for non-citizens to take Mexican jobs. You know, not PC to address the question. You're not afraid to be honest which is so awesome 👏 Keeping it real!
You need lots of money to invest and I dont have lots of money. You should check out my story which is on my channel for more information on my background. No my wife is not a youtuber, she has her own life as a professional artist.
James 2:5 “Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?”
Great question! Short answer I don't know. Perhaps I would have done a bit more research and moved closer to the border where more English is spoken or gone to another country all together.
Thanks I watched it further and saw the sign So impressed with the place I wanted to know where it was early on into the video. Cheap rent? I'd prefer to live in a place like that on the outskirts of a larger place like you are doing

Yes….
@@gustavoperez5480 Compared to the U.S. Mexico's prices are way lower. I pay 25.00 a month rent back home would be over 2,000. So bre real!!!
Bro the wages in Mexico are also lower which is why price of goods and services are lower. To the average Mexican Mexico is NOT cheap
@@gumerzambrano Gumer, Jose isn't speaking to ordinary Mexicans he is talking to Americans, Canadians and other foreigners about coming to and living here in Mexico.
Jose, Will remember me I'm an English teacher living and teaching in Queretaro. I make more than 2,000 dollars a month and pay 250 dollara a month rent.
Back in the U.S. I would be paying over 2,000 dollars a month rent. So again you are trying to compare apples with oranges. Jose isn't taking to ordinary Mexicans he's talking to fellow expats or people who want to become expats!!
I agree with youGumer for ordinary Mexicans Mexico isn't low cost, but again Jose isn't speaking to Mexicans he is speaking to expats and people who want to become expats!!!
FELIZ NAVIDAD; GUMER!!!!
The hubby n I are retiring to Mexico in 2025! You helped us decide to JUST DO IT. Gracias amigo.
That is awesome! Congratulations!
My son needs to hear this. He was there 7 months and come back to Canada. He's never been happier than when he was in Mexico. He's planning to go back soon!
Seems like he needs to be in Mexico! Thanks for sharing!
Being Mexican-American, I truly am blessed. I've experienced Mexico as a child to now, & I will retire & die in Mexico. I'm a U.S. Army veteran, bachelor degree, & have worked hard most of my adult life. I refuse to give all of me (1 life baby) to American corporations.
That is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Viva Mexico!
People are conditioned and encouraged to join the military, especially depending on the circumstances from which they're coming.
There's a lot of propaganda induced on Americans by the government to go fight in whichever war.
If you dig deep enough, you'll discover the Jesuits use the American empire to do its bidding.
You arent mexican American, you are mexican US citizen. Becouse America is a continent from Alaska to patagonia.
chicano...is that the best you can do ? give all of me to American corporations...how stupid !
Your love for Mexico shows so much, I hope your videos inspire others to move here and achieve happiness and FREEDOM.
Muchas Gracias for the kind words!
Old white American guy here. Been going to Nicaragua for 10 years now. No more depression .
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
You are such an inspiration. Your attitude is great and your insight into what is important and what is not is so refreshing. We have been coming to Mexico for the winter for many years, and this year we have finally taken the plunge and moved here to stay. Thank you for everything.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad to hear you guys are finally moving to Mexico for good! Saludos y Viva Mexico!
One of the best videos ever! You are such an inspiration!
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video so much!
We are seriously thinking of moving to Mexico. We live in Texas and this state is so oppressive. Expense and lonely.
Hope you guys can do it! Good luck with everything!
Agreed deborah. I too live in TX. Im super friendly but I have lived here for almost 4 years and only have 1 friend. My neighborhood is cold, no friends there either. I was disillusioned into thinking that Texans were friendly..not my experience at all. I thought the state would be strong for the US, patriotic, not so anymore. I gotta get out of the US. I have been researching for almost 15 years..I always come back to Mexico. I started to visit Mexico when I was 13 yrs old (64 now) as I lived in the state right next door. I feel Mexico is my second home. Is the country perfect? No, but what country is perfect. Every country has its problems. The US, Canada and most of Europe is a TOTAL mess and getting more and more like communist countries.
Agreed, Texas is one of the worst! I briefly lived in Texas for 6 months and I couldn't stand it, I don't understand why some people think it's one of the freest states in the US when it's no where near that.
@@kellyname5733 I think some parts of Texas are still patriotic, but I'm not sure that's even a good thing anymore, why support a country who's government, and lets be honest, who has a very large percentage of people that are just going totally in the wrong direction. If you're patriotic in America today you probably support the war machine and a blank check to police the world, and that's just not for me, never has been, it's against my ethics and my spiritual beliefs.
Texas is also very expensive as the Op has pointed out, and the people are not friendly to outsiders, or really not friendly to anyone if you live in the big cities, not much different than any large USA city in that way.
Texas also has some of the worst drug laws in the country, seriusly, you can be put away for a long time for some rather small amounts of certain substances there, among so many other problems.
Jose, thank you for sharing your perspective and your positivity. You're a great TH-camr to watch.
Muchas Gracias! I appreciate that!
This video hit home for me. I'm sick of suffering in silence! I keep talking about moving to Mexico. In 2024 it's time to take action! You are awesome Jose! Feliz Navidad! I will be joining you in Mexico soon! This channel will continue to grow, in 2024. As more of us want out of the U.S.
Glad to hear the video finally got you to realize what you have already known for awhile now. Thank you for the kind words! Good luck with everything!
I'm making a scouting trip to Playa in August..🛫🇲🇽🏖️
Hey..ALLDayVapor.....better quit the vaping before it is too late !
The united states of America has lost its flavor and have hung on authoritarian ideas. Nothing is free there and the first responders are the first class citizen while the working class people are treated as their cash cattle. They bleed the people dry and leave as many as they can without prosperity in the USA. There is no place you can go to where they are not asking for your identification papers that you must prove in order to be human and they are building their apartheid wall every day. They are building a prison for the people to live in. The USA wants all the people to be residents because resident is a word that stems from the word reside which means to stay only for a while, while that premise is directly against the premise of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as a constitutional republic is supposed to provide.
@@geoffspeed wow. Why do you talk to people like that? Is it because Mexico is unjustly banning vaporizer inhalers for simple tobacco nicotine? Because you could have just said something nice to someone in a good informative way. Yes Mexico is backwards in its enforcement in many areas where human rights and the constitution is not being followed by the culture of policias here, but that doesn't mean you also have to be crude to others. It is like you have been taught to look down your nose at the less fortunate than you by the united states of America and then have brought this baseless ugliness here with you. Lighten up dude. Yes inform others on some dangers but why do it in a way that makes you a jerk to others?
Merry Christmas! Thank you
Muchas Gracias! Feliz Navidad!
I'm from Vegas, but recently moved to Tijuana and work in San Diego just over the border. My entire bills for the month in TJ are half what just my room was in Vegas, and the salary is 50% higher in SD. I can make my entire month's bills in a week of work or less. I can finally breathe and plan my future. I don't have kids or a girl, it was a cheap one way Greyhound ticket, etc. So it was proly the easiest international move possible lol. But Vegas isn't far from TJ, and it was totally worth it. Some people are scared, etc. But I guess that leaves more blessings for us. I'm glad I finally made the leap, and everyone else I know that did it is too. But some people will never get it. I guess it's not their path to understand. I'd rather my bills be 4 times cheaper than struggle. But that's just me
That is super awesome! Congratulations! You hit the nail right on the head, most people are just too paralyzed with fear to do anything at all to fix their situations. Good thing you were able to figure this out sooner than later. You got a wonderful journey ahead of you, enjoy the ride! Thanks for sharing with us! Feliz Navidad!
What is your average monthly cost for TJ?
@@georgejetson9801 Not everyone will be the same. But I'll break mine down. I live walking distance to the border to save on transportation, and pay for a month pass to catch the train and bus in SD. I also eat tacos at home, I can make $500 MXN (~$29 USD) last 1-2 weeks for tacos. I'm single with no kids. I have a US phone plan. Rent a room in TJ. Okay, break down:
Rent: $200
Phone: $75
Train: $75
Food: $100
Total- $450
It's not exact, but basically my main bills are less than $500/mo. Anything else I make is for whatever I want or to save. I'm still a wage slave 😅, so my only option for now is to live close to the border to work. But I work hard no matter where I'm at. At least here I can work hard and actually survive from it. Some people are scared. It's not like that. TJ is a boomtown rn, it will be for the next 25+ years. It's a golden opportunity. I don't think there's anywhere else with higher potential, cheap living right up against the largest state economy in the world. Anyone who doesn't see the potential and benefit just doesn't get it. I may never be able to survive after overtime work in SD. I can survive on part time work in TJ. It's way easier here, but some people will just never understand it. Their loss 🤷🏾♂️. I meet Americans in the line every day that moved here 5, 10, 20+ years ago and love it, live better, never left. We're not crazy. Those who choose to continue being exploited are. Our country doesn't want the sheep to leave the stable. They pay us the lowest they can and charge us the highest they can. Don't want to give enough jobs, hours, or benefits. This is how we beat them at their game. The only money I spend in the US is my phone, train pass, rare snacks, and a little weed lol. The rest I spend in México. The country treats us better
Hanuman..you are rambling again..take a breath and try another time.!
People often look for happiness outside. Your wife, the place you live, the money you make won’t make you happy. To be happy you have to look to yourself, and find out what you have to change about yourself to be happy.
Well said. Happiness can only be found from within. Thanks for sharing!
Well said, once you are happy with yourself everything around you gets better.
Where ever you go, there you are.
There are some situations in which simply moving is part of the answer.
I did that soul searching, what I found is that for my given personality I can't be happy with out freedom, and in the US I'm not free. Could I attempt to radically change my personality so I could be content with a horrible government and being a cog in a wheel? maybe, possibly,. it'd be very hard, but would I want to change what fundamentally make me, me? No, absolutely not. Therefore I determined to truly be happy I have to move to Mexico so I have freedom!
That is my dream! Yucatan for sure! I found a 2024 Mexico Calendar ! Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!
Soy Mexicana y mi esposo también mi esposo trabaja muchísimas horas y recientemente obtuvo su residencia nunca me había dicho de querer en un futuro vivir en Mexico regreso con ganas de regresar para en un futuro vivir.su papá falleció durante la pandemia y no pudo ir su papá le heredó su casita pensamos irla renovando igual este año haber si se puede comenzar un negocio hablo inglés .eres mi you tube favorito totalmente de acuerdo con lo que dices.
Que bueno! Me alegro mucho que los a podido ayudar con mis videos. Buena Suerte con la casa y con todo lo demas! Un abrazote grande! Saludos y Viva Mexico!
Jose, Happy New Year..my sentiments exactly. 6 years I left Tampa, Florida with $3000, a passport, credit card and everything I owned was hanging on my back. Landed in SW Mexico on the Pacific Ocean...I now have my residency in Mexico and live a beautiful life just steps from the beach that would cost me over $150,000 in the USA for about $25,000 ! People are wonderful, excellent medical and dental care..just living the salt life !!! I also speak spanish which is a plus. However like Ringo Starr and Jose say..It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy !!!!!!
I am very happy for you. Good that you had 3000dlls and a plane to fly on. It is harder here at first when you only have 300dlls to start and good for you. You should get some content by posting some videos about your life many might want to get help or inspiration from you.
That is awesome! Who knew we basically had the same story with different outcomes, but both extremely happy and glad we came out here when we did! Thanks again for sharing! Viva Mexico!
Jose, your videos are so important for me, and so inspiring. I'm 60, witha long history of working hard and I have some successes. But I don't have much materially, and I have no family left. I DO have my health and a child-like spirit. It's been my dream to move to Mexico for years! I want things that money can't buy-freedom, peace, growth, joy-things the US can no longer offer me. I just need to figure out the money/work part. I'm giving myself two years to put in the consistent, focused work and planning.
Wow that's awesome! So happy to hear that my videos can be so helpful to you on your own journey for a better life. I hope you get to tie up all your loose ends in the USA soon so that you can enjoy Mexico sooner than later! Good luck with everything! Mexico Awaits your arrival!
Wow. I needed this. Thanks José.
Glad it was helpful! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for making these videos. So much of what you say resonates with me. especially this video. Every video of yours, I watch makes me less scared of moving to Mexico and more excited.
Glad to hear the videos are helping you out so much! Thanks for sharing!
A Canadian of 54 yearsof age, I'm visiting Mexico Jan thru March and (hopefully) ratifying my permanent residency application I got at the Mexican Consolate in Toronto. These are initial scouting for an expat community for permanent retirement. I'm a bit scared, but it seems the right thing to do
That is awesome! Good luck to you! Thanks for sharing!
Bobby do you speak Spanish?
@@jamesxanthios1317 Not yet no. I know some French, but also youtube and google translate will be helpful I think.
@@bobbybeast1000me too. I’m the same age and Canadian to boot. I have some French and a little Spanish but certainly not enough to converse. I would love to move to Mexico but I feel I need to learn more Spanish first because I don’t want to be in a total expat community - I want to move to Mexico for Mexico and everything it is, not Canada- light for example. Do you know what I mean?
@@jamesxanthios1317 Yes totally, get the authentic experience, more rewarding, more communal and much less expensive esp if you dont need the beach - I'm also checking out Hawaii and Portugal- of the 3, Portgual might have the most to offer for full time residency - but I'll start with Puerto Vallarta / Sayulita for this winter
Bravo. Well done.
Beautiful scenery. Tranquility everywhere.
Thanks for all you do.
Happy Holidays Jose.
Muchas Gracias! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Feliz Navidad Jose y Christian! 🎄🍾🎉Thanks for the words of wisdom and the awesome view! Looks like a chill place to ride!
If I can leave my Jose Holiday Video Wishlist for 2024:
- Real Estate Tours (Neighborhoods, Places for Sale/Rent, and Larger Family Quintas/Haciendas in and on the outskirts of Merida!)
- Towns & Beaches around Merida (Daytrips/Potential Alternatives for Relocation)
- Day in the Life… We want to know more about you and your life, perspective, and what you’re loving down in Merida!
- Food… más comida por favor!
Looking forward to seeing what you’re cooking up in 2024!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing!
I made it here, Jose. I am here in Mexico. I need to move further south. I am just starting out and many things are to learn but the people here leave a guy alone for the most part and are so much more open and good to others. There are many things that I need help with.
That is awesome! Congratulations!
@youhaverightscopshaveduties, Can you share what types of things you need help with? Are these things related to settling in Mexico, learning out it operates, etc?
You need help alright....
@@geoffspeed naw. Not need. Have it. Every day is a good day. Some better than others. When someone is under duress and they are an activist protesting as is their human right to do and under duress, they often do not speak like they normally do. No any good activist uses provocative language in order to cause attention. It is called a cause. I would need help if I didn't catch agents threatening me on video record and if I didn't catch deputies committing crimes against me. The county using the public tools to lie for the employees private gain for agent or agency. Let me guess you are not a slave who thinks they live in a country that promotes freedom while it actually destroys freedom. Let me guess you keep your nose down and shut up and do as you are told so you think you are doing so much better than everyone?
@@Shirley-n-Maryland yes learning how it one should be able to operate within. Beautiful country and beautiful people who mind their own business for the most part. Unlike the USA where the gringos think it is customary to tell others what to do all the time while being condescending and rude but attempt to say rude things in a nice way. I don't need help exactly I think I said that while being overwhelmed. And yeah I may be overwhelmed again in life. So thank you for asking, as you nailed what I would need help with right off the bat.
Perfect timing for this video. I can certainly relate to everything you said in the video. Thank you for being so real and honest, I appreciate it.
Merry Christmas to you and your wife. 🎄🌟
Glad it was helpful! Feliz Navidad!
You're looking good Jose'
Muchas Gracias!
This is the kind of morning pep talk the aloha fairy ordered
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
Merry Christmas Jose and Christian...!
Muchas Gracias! Feliz Navidad!
I just really like your channel and it is so informative and educational. Glad you found where you belong.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
San Crisano looks sweet. 🏖
Thanks for your message Jose. Your value proposition is that you’re an average dude with no pretence. You speak from the heart and soul and speak the truth. Please keep being you Jose.
Merry Christmas to you and Christian from cold Canada. 👊
Muchas Gracias! Merry Feliz Christmas to you and your loved ones!
Funny over the holidays all my family is talking about building up 401ks and pensions and I'm thinking why wait until your at death's door to "retire" ...not me, viva mexico!!
Those same investments that will eventually crash and leave them with nothing while you were living the dream the whole time they were waiting to live the dream. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for everything Jose! You have truly helped me.
Happy to help!
Thanks again Bro! I'll be hitting you up for some consulting soon.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hey Jose, I really like how you drive around and use the footage for the background while you talk, it makes it so interesting. I was particularly pleased to see San Crisanto because we might be moving there and we can't drive around like that from Canada.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Great video Jose. Merry Christmas to you and your family. We never looked back after leaving USA 3 years ago to a Latin American Country. We lived in Ocala Florida for 6 years and i was born in Seattle Washington. Totally understand ☺️. We love visiting Mexico. American Dream is dead. Government doesn't care about their people
Muchas Gracias! Glad to hear about your success story! Feliz Navidad to yours as well!
Did you find Seattle or Ocala to be freer? You're right, the US government doesn't care at all about it's people, that's why it prints up trillions and devalues the currency.
I'm 45 in NYC and I'm just tired, I work in Investment Banking /Tech and I am just running on a treadmill that is getting faster and faster.
Hang in there brother! I'm sure you'll find your way to paradise soon enough!
8:37 - what a beautiful view!! Too bad you didn't walk to the edge. Seems like you can drive right off the road/cliff there. NO barrier's blocking the beach from the street seems strange🤔🤔
I am a wage slave. Been living/working in the US for 45 yrs. Looking at online/remote work or finding a way to work in the US and live in Mx. Seeing the border crossing video stress me out. Not sure how folks live in Mx and commute to the US for work--DAILY. In the process now of deciding WHAT I WANT for my life.
Thanks for sharing!
A bit of a health issue has set us back some, but we still hope to get to Mexico next year. Merida will be our starting point. We may end up moving elsewhere, who knows? Thank you, Jose, for all you do.
Hope you guys get better soon! Glad I have been able to help!
Feliz Navidad a todos.gracias Jose.me gustan tus videos.merry Christmas to everyone.
Muchas Gracias! Happy Merry Christmus!
Again! ...another fine ,fun philosophical and practical talk.
Thanks for being you, an original! A leader not a follower!
Merry Christmas to you and Christian & fam!
Muchas Gracias mi amigo! Feliz Navidad to you and your loved ones as well!
Thank you !! Jose you absolutely right 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Merry christmas and happy new years Jose to you and your wife .
Muchas Gracias! Same to you!
A great inspirational video that will lift any out of their rut.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad the message of the video could be so helpful!
Thanks again Jose.Feliz Navidad to you and your family.
Same to you!! Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas from Denmark! ❤ Thank you for your videos!!
Feliz Navidad! Glad you enjoy them!
Wow Denmark! if people from the US find more freedom in Mexico, I'm sure that'll be doubly true for you!
FELIZ NAVIDAD Jose & Christian 🎄
Happy Merry Christmus!
🌲Merry Christmas for you guys! 🌲
Muchas Gracias! Feliz Navidad to you and yours!
Feliz Navidad 🎄 everyone!
Happy Merry Christmus!
Soy mexicano y vivo en Los Angeles, CA desde hace casi 30 años, estoy casado con una Estadounidense y estámos pensando irnos a México, primero rentar un apartamento o casa y después talvez comprar.
Gracias a tus videos y experiencia de vida me estoy animando a regresarme a mi pais natal y me gustaría Mérida porque sé que es la ciudad mas segura.
Quiero empezar desde el principio: qué lugares son los mejores? De preferencia cerca de todo, mercados, hospitales. Seguros médicos, etc, etc.
Y si, tienes razón desgraciadamente José, aquí ya no parece ser United States of America, mas bien parece ser ahora United Slaves of America 😢😢😢
Estas casado con una estadounidense no una americana America es un continente desde Alaska hasta la patagonia.
Your letter was terrible..stick to English please !
@@gloriakadar3288 Tienes razón. Disculpa mi ignorancia. Ya lo corregí.
@@geoffspeed use Google Translate, my Spanish writing is correct.
Muchas gracias en compartir. Si yo hablo con muchos como usted que han regresado a su pais natal y ha sido la mejor decision que han tomado. Espero que ya pronto tu tambien puedas regresar y vivir en tu pais. Saludos y suerte con todo!
Happy Holidays! Looking forward to your videos in 2024.
Muchas Gracias! Merry Christmas! See you in 2024!
Lambo looks suspiciously similar to Pokey from the old claymation cartoon Gumby n Pokey.
Jaja actually he is the son of Pokey and the Horse from Toy Story. They were very progressive. 😅
Hello Jose, To you and Christian Feliz Navidad!! This is your friend Aaron from Queretaro.. Going out with some friends for Christmas eve meal!! As I've said before thanks for your lessons about Mexico!! To the Americans and Canadians listening to JOSE abandon your country and come to MEXICO WHERE YOU WILL FINF FREEDOM and LIBERTY!!
THANKS AGAIN!! JOSE!!
FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
Muchas gracias mi hermano! Feliz Navida y que tengas un año prospero! Un abrazo!
Abandon your country..you have to be kidding ! Newsflash ... you can live in Mexico and go back to Canada or the USA. This has to be just stupidity on your part..and it is FIND not FINF !
We are all so pleased with the content of your videos,Jose! I know in my heart ❤️ that I would be happy in Mexico! My Peruvian wife seems hesitant to leave the United States once and for all! She sees the dangers of bigotry and hatred facing this country and the lunatics determined to destroy and divide our diverse communities! Yet I can’t seem to convince her to leave here! Mexico, even with all its problems is still the better and safer country to be in! Thank you 🙏 for sharing these uplifting videos with us all 🙏🏽❤️👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! Everyone gets to the point of no return at a different pace. One day out of nowhere your wife will finally realize enough is enough and come to you to finally make that jump. We all had that moment when we finally realized we had to go, just be patient with her. Seems like she is getting there. In the meantime you can plan ahead while you wait on her. She will want to leave once it gets bad enough, but remember she is also wrestling leaving Peru and now having to leave the USA is not easy. Just keep reminding her how much easier life will be for her in a country that speaks Spanish and has a similar way of life as what she live in Peru than in the US. Good luck with everything. All in due time.
@@JoseArteagaTravels Thank you, Jose, for your encouraging words. I am just worried that by the time she decides to leave the United States, conditions in Mexico with their Immigration Laws may change to such a degree , that it may be impossible for us become permanent residents. I am retired and my income is just two thousand U S dollars. My wife works for minimum wage in Georgia.Any advice would be appreciated. I tried to send you some funds but don’t understand the system. Can I send you something through Western Union? I just feel like you are a younger brother to me. I am from Trinidad and Tobago originally of East Indian descent. My grandparents came from India. We are not wealthy people by any means. My wife is also a great Peruvian cook and would do well opening a little corner restaurant anywhere in Merida or San Miguel de Allende. Keep us in your prayers.’, my younger brother. Muchas gracias, harry madray.🙏🏽❤️
MARRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY 2024!
Feliz Navidad y prospero año!
I was just in the usa, my kid was talking about all the vaccines my grandkids have to take to go school. Wow
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great video Jose. Was this footage filmed in Mellida?
Glad you enjoyed it! This was filmed on San Crisanto Beach in the Yucatan
Merry Christmas Jose! I'm ready for Christmas tomorrow
Me too! Feliz Navidad!
Liked the video. I have nothing against his message. However, I personally think that before making any drastic decisions like moving to another country, one should at least attempt to improve our situation in other ways. Maybe move to cheaper town, live a frugal lifestyle, change jobs, connect with family and friends more, exercise, eat healthy, etc. You can’t expect that a move out of the country is going to solve all your worries. If your issues are purely financial then perhaps it may help but also keep in mind that cost of living in Mexico is starting to go up, thanks to videos like this. Again, I have nothing against the message of this video, just keeping it real.
Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas Jose! Feliz Navidad!
Muchas Gracias! Merry Christmas to you too!
I am an unemployed techie; been looking for work for 4 months and nada. Mexico is my escape plan but I've drained my savings and need employment. How is the tech/freelance world down there? I'm trying it in America and no bites. I hate it here LOL
You can check out my website for more information on finding work online www.josearteaga.com/digital-nomad-jobs
I have seen the change in us and l am praying for guidance to move there
Your prayers have been answered! Check out the other videos on my channel and my website for all kinds of FREE information on moving to Mexico! All the info you will need and then some!
Thanks for another informative video Jose! Q te la pases al 💯 con la wifey today 🤙🏼
Muchas gracias! Merry Navidad to you too! Hope you and the Fam have a great one!
I feel the same way..even amongst my own ppl..i just dont fit in
Thanks for sharing!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄

Merry Christmas to you and your Family 🎅🏻 🎄
Same to you! Happy Merry Christmus!
Great video Jose!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for keeping it real Jose. You said you used to live in Miami. I'm a Canadian-American who moved to Orlando from Toronto last year and I can't believe just how expensive things are here. I'm paying at least double what I paid in Toronto (and no doubt it was expensive there). I've been looking into Mexico for a long time, but as a member of the LGBT community I'm conflicted as to which cities down there would be safe/appropriate. What do you suggest?
Feliz navidad! Great question! You can watch these videos for more info th-cam.com/users/livek8NSwiFdA-0?feature=share and th-cam.com/users/livex-ykkdYVCtk?feature=share

Good evening Jose..
I hope you and your loved ones are well.. I recently decided to pull plug and give up rat race.. Looking forward to move southwards
That is awesome! Congratulations!
You didn't find Seattle to be freer than Miami? What about the city Busses in Seattle, I know they got them. As far as Miami life goes, I know it can be good for some people, after all some very rich people in live right outside of Miami, but I'm not sure where they make their money, none the less it's must offer a good life to some.
Mexico is just a whole new level of freedom though, not sure it can be matched by any state in the US.
Seattle = More rules and Regulations and in Miami Rules and regulations are more like a suggestion like in Mexico
@@JoseArteagaTravels Miami sounds like one of the freer places in thew US then, no wonder the rich like, still the problem is if you're not rich it's hard to urk out a living right?
You are very real. You speak from your core. You are not full of pretenses. And you speak truth and hope, practically.
That is so rare these days. Candidly? It seems as if so many people in our current time have not been fortified with a basis of what is truly of value in Life. Thus, so many have been pouring all of their life energy into things that don’t matter, or that distract them from all that does. (We can lose everything material that we’ve worked for in an hour or a day, as the folks in Lahaina have experienced.)
You aren’t crazy. 🙏 for Great Blessing for Christian and you in the times to come.
🎄Feliz Navidad ✨
Thank you so very much for the kind words, they are truly appreciated. It makes me happy to hear that my simple and humble videos can help out so many. Thanks again for sharing! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones as well!

I have no idea, I don't sell or rent real estate. But I do have a video that shows you how you can find out what the locals pay and a bunch of links to useful rental sites th-cam.com/video/hSaGVFFIruE/w-d-xo.html Hope you get to check it out!

Hey Jose…I was just offered $90,000 for almost 4 acres of land in NH. I built a tiny house 6 years ago and wanted to put my house on my property but in order to do that I need to pay about $25,000 for the driveway and the 7 culverts it needs along with needing power and septic. So I would have to get a loan for all that. The problem is I am 66 now and I feel done with all the things I am required to do in order to put my house on my own land. Or I can sell the property and look for something else. I get 2 SS checks a month which is a little over $2000 a month. I have an older son in Michigan I see maybe once a year. A daughter and granddaughter I live 2 hours from. All 3 of my brothers are dead. I suffer in silence but I have not given up. I’ve been to Mexico 4 times and I have a male friend who I have helped a lot on my end. He would love to come to the US but I keep trying to tell him how difficult it is to live here. It seems like I would have a better life in Mexico verses here. Besides I am done with shoveling snow!! Here is just a dead end.
Wow thanks for sharing! Good luck with everything!
Well my Mexican friend would like to come to the US for opportunity and from what I see I think he’d have more opportunity if I went there. I’ve helped him a lot including paying his way to go to class to learn English. We have fun together and I love my Mexican! I don’t expect anything in return. I just wanted to make one person’s life better in some way before I leave the earth. I will look at your website Too
Jose what city is that you are showing in the background? That doesnt look like Merida?

Nice video as always. If it was not being married and having a really good salary I would have left for Mexico sooner...
Thanks for sharing!
Jose I'm looking at Fiji islands or Vietnam for better countries! Tropical countries is what I like 😊
That's awesome! Much success to you no matter where you land!

Dammit I want to convince my husband so bad but he is not interested, I need help convincing hom that this would be a great move for us, we can't go for a couple of years til our college kids are done so we have time to plan this out!😢😅
Good luck with everything! Thanks for sharing!
Hey you may get to 19k before 2024!!!!!!!!! 🙏🤞 👍
It sure seems like it! Only 25 more to go as of writing this! Cant wait to Celebrate it on the last live stream of the year on Thursday! Hope to see you there!
Of course!!! 😊
Nice video, seems like an honest video to me too. If I may ask: you said you fit in in Mexico. Unlike, for example, Miami and Seattle. Great for you by the way. But I wondered, did it have to do with your Latino background or the degree of freedom in Mexico (and the USA) that you did fit so well in in Mexico/Merida/Yucatan? I'm from the Netherlands myself and see freedom becoming less and less here . A worrying trend. For me is freedom important. I don't like it when a government determines how you have to live.
If you watch my other videos I go into more detail on the Freedoms we have out here in Mexico.The Freedoms that we have all lost in the first world. Or should I say, "Freedom" the people traded away for "Safety"
I think we understand each other 👍@@JoseArteagaTravels
Is this in Merida? ❤
This is about an hour North of Merida close to Telchac Puerto
How easy is it to work as a resident US citizen for a Mexican company ? The work permit is hard to get? I have retirement, but she wants to stay us us and work. Not sure if she can do online work. Does better with hands-on work.
As long as you are willing to work for Mexican wages which might be about 10-15 USD PER DAY for around 8 hours of work then yes you can easily get a work permit and find remedial jobs
@@JoseArteagaTravels Thank you! I've been wondering about the ease of getting work permits as a non-citizen resident for a while now. No one likes to answer because they think it's bad for non-citizens to take Mexican jobs. You know, not PC to address the question. You're not afraid to be honest which is so awesome 👏 Keeping it real!
Have you started investing in Yucatan. Man it's growing and thr money is there. Your wife doesn't like youtubing with you? Saludos
You need lots of money to invest and I dont have lots of money. You should check out my story which is on my channel for more information on my background. No my wife is not a youtuber, she has her own life as a professional artist.

RENT WILL BE $2000 FOR ANY ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT
And higher and higher
If you had not known Spanish or very little would you have still went to Mexico?
Great question! Short answer I don't know. Perhaps I would have done a bit more research and moved closer to the border where more English is spoken or gone to another country all together.
What town is he driving around in the beginning of the video?
I am on San Crisanto Beach in the Yucatan
Watch the video again....Doug !
Thanks I watched it further and saw the sign So impressed with the place I wanted to know where it was early on into the video. Cheap rent? I'd prefer to live in a place like that on the outskirts of a larger place like you are doing
Hi Jose how are you. Que caro es un terreno ahi en ese área? Porfavor
No se yo no vendo bienes raises pero puedes ver este video para ver como puedes localizar la info que buscas th-cam.com/video/hSaGVFFIruE/w-d-xo.html
