Hey guys! I've read some of you wanted to know exactly how much we spent after watching this video. I didn't put the grand total of this example but just if you were wondering, we spent around US $2,000 for both of us and that included our trip to Sayulita for a week. The insurance we have is: Seguros Monterrey New York Life.
@@miguelidcomm Yes, of course. There are a lot of international companies here and being able to speak English is a requirement for most professional jobs.
Hello karencita!! How are you? Are you still in UK yet because I would like to know you when I am will be there too but I think that I leave to there in August finally its horrible to be here alone and to see my beautiful husband there lonely is so sad 😞 😥 I have hope that we will be together soon 🙏
I love these cost of living videos. A suggestion: show a written summary at the end with all your expenses. Which medical insurance did you choose (prices/coverage/deductibles vary)?
Thank you, very informative. And I just realized you have Spanish sub-titles, which is helpful as I am learning Spanish. Te cuidades. Saludos desde Chicago.
This video is incredibly informative and beautifully edited. I know how much work went into creating and organizing a video like this. I can hardly suppress my urge to drive to the airport and fly to Mexico now! Your daily life looks so healthy (mentally and physically).
Thanks for enjoying the video and I'm glad you noticed we spent a lot of time organising it and editing it. 🙂 I'm sure you'll have a great time in Mexico!
I lived in Taxco Gue for about six weeks this year. Insects are a major problem there. Mosquitos eat you alive. Not to mention, other insects crawling around at night . . . In your bed! I wouldn't do it again. But it did give me a very good idea of what kind of place to sleep. Read the reviews. Dont fall for the colonial magical charm pitch.
As always, I loved this video. I figured it would be more expensive in touristy areas. That looks lovely where you are. The insurance you have to pay is still less for both of you than what one person pays on Medicare per month. And of course there are always other fees and charges on top of that.
Glad to hear of this type of video is popular. As soon as I saw it pop up I had to watch it. Of course I gave a thumbs up because I want to see more of this type of thing!👍
The best thing people can do when moving to Mexico is to buy locally at the markets or little stores you help the economy is cheap organic and fresh also be generous with your house help this people work hard and pay their transport usually comes from far away
La Karencita, I am so flattered that you flagged my comments. I never expected you to read them because you're so busy. But I subscribed to your vlogs and look forward to watching your newest videos. I think you and your husband are living a wonderful life that speaks to your adventurous nature and willingness to try new experiences. Many of us live vicariously through you. Con mucho carino and felicidades les manda saludos un amigo de Austin, Tejas.
I am retired, and can live on $1300-$1500 per month in Illinois. Rent and utilities are the biggest part. Rental insurance,AT&T, and Walmart home delivery groceries every 6 months.
I loved this video! I have a tour business in San Miguel de Allende and am frequently asked about salaries in Mexico...especially how much to tip! I always tell people to be generous and that at least 15% and 20% shouldn't be a hardship for them. The wait people will be delighted and you will be remembered. And as tourists you get to visit one of the most amazing and beautiful countries on the planet...fair tradeoff. P.S. I love taking people to the beautiful and elegant Colonial city of Queretaro.
Just look for rentals to get an idea. Up north you spend more on electricity for ac. In gdl rents average from 8-15,000 pesos. So you gotta make 22k to make it. In a town it's much much cheaper. On my wife's hometown in los altos Jalisco expenses are 60% and rents 40% of Guadalajara/Zapopan. No high speed internet though. Food, water gas electricity is cheaper the more remote you want to live. Expats wanting to live in San Miguel de Allende will see higher rents than in other towns in the same state...
Internet is one of the biggest frustrations I've had while in Mexico. Others include, having consistent hot water and water pressure in the shower. Other than that, most other things, while different, are accessible.
I love your videos, I started with "would you date a Mexican". I love the ones in Spanish and the ones in English. I enjoy watching food and travel videos and yours are great. Saludos desde San Diego/ Tijuana!!!
Hi I just found you on you tube and I am glad I have. I like that you are from Mexico and that your husband is not. I am a single man planning to retire in a few months and come to Mexico in January 2022. I am subscribed now to your channel and know I will learn a lot from you. Thank you for your video.
Im your new subscriber.... I watch your channel because you provide a really good insight how it is like to live in mexico.... Im planning to go to mexico and finally be with the mexican woman I love and marry her in your country...... Watching your videos helps me to see how will it be like to live as a couple and working there together.... And live a happy life together. Im a Filipina by the way and greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭🇲🇽
I'm guessing you live near where I used to... Plaza Fundadores. Nice area. Everything is there.. Including 50 coffee shops! Ja ja ja ja. Nice video. Good information 👌
Thank you very much ! We retire in 3 years and hope to live on $2000/month for the first 5 years, then my wife will start collecting her social security and can spend more. We have retirement accounts but hope to just let them grow, for many years if possible. May I ask which Mexican health insurance company you use ? Thanks again...love your videos !
I enjoy your videos. The City of Queretaro should pay you for promoting this wonderful place. One potential downside is that your videos will encourage more visitors and expats to relocate to Queretaro which in time may significantly change the local culture and charm. (To wit: San Miguel de Allende). But more tourist dollars will inevitably help the local economy. This may be worth the risk.
Absolutely! That’s what I fear the most since I have all my relatives living there. I’ve seen the changes over the years, from the late 70’s till now. I hope it’s just a temporary trend/fad to move to Querétaro, but I fear that the secret is out with all the TH-camrs making “how to” videos ☹️😢
Karen, can you do a video on how hard, or easy, it is to date local women in Mexico for foreigners, and what are the best ways to meet women in Mexico? Ive spent the last year in Cabo and Polanco and it seemed more difficult than in U.S.Thx.
Querétaro is$1500 less per month. Than the USA, and 100% SAFER. I have great friends here. La Comer delivers my grocery. All utilities and a maid included. I have friends who are super nice. And I always hang with the locals.i am 79 now. But I have been coming to Mexico, mainly Acapulco. Since age 20. Earthquakes are why I did not retire in Acapulco. I do speak Spanish as a second language. And the locals are my friends.
You have a beautiful house! I am hoping to move to Mexico to teach. I was wondering if there is an old town neighborhood, not highrise, that is affordable in Queretero? It is just for me and I don't need a lot of space but when I've watched other videos about Queretero I see high rise buildings. I would love to find a quaint older neighborhood if that's possible. Thank you for your videos!
¡Muy buen vídeo, Karen! :-) Jorge y yo vamos a estar en Querétaro del 1ero al 17 de abril. Vamos a conocer Zibatá por primera vez, y en diciembre cuando nos mudemos a Querétaro, escogeremos una casa para rentar en Zibatá. Nos encanta el centro histórico .. ¡y la Sierra Gorda también!

Really, the only negative comment we ever see about Queretaro is that it is the Silicon Valley of Mexico and because of that it is expensive compared to Morelia, Puebla, and other places. I know Mexico City is the most expensive city in Mexico....is Queretaro #2 ? Thx !
That would be a great idea. So far I can say Mexico (depends on the area) is a little bit more expensive than Vietnam. I think rents in Vietnam are cheaper.
Karencita! Excellent video. I was tied between GDL and here, but I think this slower pace might work best for me, as I am in semi-retirement. Do you have any videos showing high rise apartment rentals?
@@LaKarencitaMX I pay more than that for a studio right now, but my goal is to save at least half my monthly income.....still checking it out! thanks so much for your prompt response!
Great video, Karen! 800 to 1000 pesos for a nice lunch for you and Dave is pretty expensive, as you say. Looking forward to our next italki session. Saludos from Fred in San Jose del Cabo!
People who use a lot of electricity subsidise those who don't. If you use air conditioning or other appliences that need a lot of electricity, you might pay a similar amount to in the US because the price per kwh increases a lot the more you use.
Sadly because I am from Canada my rent will be higher than a local will pay. I am moving to Mexico in October and I am hoping I will be able to find a home that will be the same price as for Mexicans
@@FlamencoOz I have a hearing impairment and it is extremely difficult to understand her. Is that ok with you, mr. judgmental ,if I ask for something in writing?
@@phildodd5532 Sorry mate, unfortunately I wasn't to know that and so many people in comments appear lazy. Clearly I got this one wrong. If it helps, you can use the transcript option on TH-cam and you can get the whole video in words.
@@statingtheobviousify Sarcasm is not a virtue. My question is a very serious one, and was never intended to imply that it was that kind of situation. I've friends living in other parts of Mexico where there are problems with getting water. They have very serious problems. I really don't appreciate your response, in fact I find it very offensive.
Good video. A couple of points: 1) Hard to read the conversion to U.S. dollars because it's covered by the Spanish translation. 2) There was inconsistency in when you made the conversion to U.S. dollars. But I do like your content.
Thank you for the information on Queretaro. My wife is from Dolores-Hidalgo and I’m part Colombian (I’m fluent in Spanish, lived in Cartagena). We are thinking of retiring in Queretaro or San Miguel in a few years. Possibly splitting time between Texas (where we live) and Mexico. We drove thru Queretaro from Mexico City and we were amazed at the growth. Would like to see a comparison on living downtown and the newer area popping up around the city. Also if we were to split time would it be better just to rent a place in Queretaro or buy? If we buy would it be best to have a renter who can watch the place. We had a family member have their house in Dolores broken into and furniture stolen.
Hola Karencita ecxelentes tus videos muy buena ecplucacion del tema ... me encantan tus videos ... no has pensado en vender playeras ?? Saludos cariñosos de una queretana 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻🇲🇽💜🙅🏻♀️🌸💜

I just found you on my YT feed and have subbed! Love your content. Can you do a video about the banking system there and best one to use please? I’m wanting to live there. Gracias!
I think you did a fairly organized job of all the different expenses ,except transportation, like buses or Ubers/lifts.Also what about Laundry ?So places have a machine ,other no,so people go to a lavendaria ,which is very affordable..
Hi ,just found your chanel and love your beautiful and color full videos so far.. just wanted to know are there any good dentists in queretaro..I am from usa and in need of few dental work,unfortunately ,is very expensive here in united states. .
Great video! Do you know if there is an ecstatic dance scene or contact improv dance scene there? I'm wondering how the dating scene for expat women in our 40s seeking committed relationship with men is there? I'm in SMA and it's definitely a predominantly senior crowd here. Do you notice there are more expats in their 40s and a more diverse population there?
Most of our expat friends are in their 30s (because we're in our 30s). I think there are plenty of expat pensioners here but it's not the overwhelming majority like in SMA. I can't comment about dance but I would imagine that dating would be easier here if only because it's a bigger city with more people.
Hola you estoy pensando en mudarme a Mexico (o tal vez Ecuador), seria posible encontrarme con ustedes si voy a Queretaro? Me encantaría tener el placer de conocerles y claro, obtener buenos consejos.
I don't know because I've never lived in Oaxaca. I know Tangerine Travels were saying that Oaxaca is getting more expensive these days. I'll be making some videos in Oaxaca in August so I can give a better answer then!
@@LaKarencitaMX Thank You! La Karencita is it easy to find roommates in Queretaro Mexico 🇲🇽 or studio apartment for someone who is retired and on a fixed income?

Thank you for the information on Queretaro. My wife is from Dolores-Hidalgo and I’m part Colombian (I’m fluent in Spanish, lived in Cartagena). We are thinking of retiring in Queretaro or San Miguel in a few years. Possibly splitting time between Texas (where we live) and Mexico. We drove thru Queretaro from Mexico City and we were amazed at the growth. Would like to see a comparison on living downtown and the newer area popping up around the city. Also if we were to split time would it be better just to rent a place in Queretaro or buy? If we buy would it be best to have a renter who can watch the place.

I just found you on my YT feed and have subbed! Love your content. Can you do a video about the banking system there and best one to use please? I’m wanting to live there. Gracias!
This might sound silly, but can you share what the street dog situation is in Queretaro please.
I think you did a fairly organized job of all the different expenses ,except transportation, like buses or Ubers/lifts.Also what about Laundry ?So places have a machine ,other no,so people go to a lavendaria ,which is very affordable..
The bus fares are pretty cheap like $10-20 pesos ($0.50-1), Uber is usually a bit more expensive. It also dends on the distance
Hi ,just found your chanel and love your beautiful and color full videos so far.. just wanted to know are there any good dentists in queretaro..I am from usa and in need of few dental work,unfortunately ,is very expensive here in united states. .
I admit, I'm nosy! I love pan dulce!
Gano 300 dólares al mes y es todo que he necesitado durante los últimos 11 años. Si alguien "necesita" más de eso, "necesita" demasiado.
Pienso que la rents es lo mas caro. Pero si lla tienes casa entonses si es demaciado. $1500 a el mes.
Nice video .
Excellent‼️
Thank you very much ✅
09:59 How do you write the name of this dish? I need to try it!! 🤤
Enmoladas. You should try them!
@@LaKarencitaMX hey Karen which restaurant/cafe were you guys at with those enmoladas?
It's is awesome your husband is open to move out of the U.S.
It is the best decision as a couple you can make....✌️
I think the husband is Irish ☘️
Great video! Do you know if there is an ecstatic dance scene or contact improv dance scene there? I'm wondering how the dating scene for expat women in our 40s seeking committed relationship with men is there? I'm in SMA and it's definitely a predominantly senior crowd here. Do you notice there are more expats in their 40s and a more diverse population there?
Most of our expat friends are in their 30s (because we're in our 30s). I think there are plenty of expat pensioners here but it's not the overwhelming majority like in SMA.
I can't comment about dance but I would imagine that dating would be easier here if only because it's a bigger city with more people.
@@statingtheobviousify gracias 🙏
Hola you estoy pensando en mudarme a Mexico (o tal vez Ecuador), seria posible encontrarme con ustedes si voy a Queretaro? Me encantaría tener el placer de conocerles y claro, obtener buenos consejos.
Why you have to pay medical insurance if you are too young ?
OMG VECINAAA, WE LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBOURHOOD
😮
We love making videos in Mexico. And perhaps moving there some day.
La Karencita do you find Queretaro to be cheaper then Oaxaca Mexico 🇲🇽 cost of living for a month all expenses? Which location is cheaper!? 😁✌🏻
I don't know because I've never lived in Oaxaca. I know Tangerine Travels were saying that Oaxaca is getting more expensive these days.
I'll be making some videos in Oaxaca in August so I can give a better answer then!
@@LaKarencitaMX Thank You! La Karencita is it easy to find roommates in Queretaro Mexico 🇲🇽 or studio apartment for someone who is retired and on a fixed income?
There are a lot of options for accommodation for all budgets. Check the Facebook groups for Querétaro and you can see for yourself.
This is an advertisement in itself to come and move to Mexico, look at those prices!
Qué tal lo que he leído o escuchado en las noticias que en Querétaro no hay agua o hay tandeos de agua que el servicio de agua es muy caro, que se quedan días sin agua, me puedes ayudar en clarificar esa informacióngracias muy bonitos tus videos y me gusta mucho como lucen los aretes en ti
can we ask to them if they are legals on mexico .?
