I'm the same situation. But worry about the visa. Would that amount be acceptable for Visa
@@MyrtelinaReyes-en3ux I have a permanent resident visa. Once you have a permanent resident visa you qualify for work in Mexico. Just realize that working in Mexico is a drastic pay cut from the USA. There are minimum wages in Mexico that are as low as $1 an hour. The average full time job in Mexico pays badly. About the equivalent of $400-$550 US a month. Some require you work Monday through Saturday and only have Sunday off for some measly $125 a week. So getting a remote job is critical that is US based. Many US remote jobs refuse to hire people outside the US. So you need to have some heavy duty hard to get skills for those. Being bilingual in Spanish and English with college degrees and some computer savvy is your best bet. Also being freelance. Realize that there are some really well educated Mexican bilingual remote workers working for US companies and being paid $3 dollars an hour for their work. Many US companies exploit educated Mexican workers. If you want decent pay that is based in the US be ready to understand what you need to do.
One of the best things about moving abroad is the experience of Adventure!!! Interacting with new people 😊😊
Yes!!!
@sidkimuwallif4597 if she is an older woman she has to realize she needs to speak Spanish well. Because dealing with Mexican immigration and having to get her paperwork in order in English might make the prices go up for paperwork. She needs to learn Spanish. I think speaking English only in all of Latin America is going to be hard without it on that budget.
@@vidarivera6909 what? I lived in Santa Marta Colombia for 3 years on a retirement Visa.......I don't speak Spanish!!
@@sidkimuwallif4597I thought a lot of people also speak English in Colombia?
@@sidkimuwallif4597 If you have a very tight budget and you have to get all your documents translated officially in Mexico and your lease too? It is a cost. Plus, you get higher prices for the same type of property just because you need to use English-speaking realtors or rental agents. That is almost universally true in Latin America. I found houses that were drastically less in price than the ones offered by English-speaking sales people in Mexico. You speak Spanish well and fluently you can read your own documents. Do your own research. Make your own connections. You want everything in English done for you? $$$ The prices go up. That is reality.
Cortez your doing "God's work" . Just wanna let you know i appreciate you
🎉yes
Cartess, this is fantastic information that will help me to promote your channel. Too many people want and need a better life. I have been living in Mexico for seven years and my life has never been better. Your information will change lives for the better. Thank you!
I tried to contact you by your telephone number number but I couldn’t get in touch with you, but I know you is a very busy man ...salute to you.. I’m in Merida.. I found a house and everything you said is true. It is cheap. If you remember me I’m the one that’s from your wife hometown .. I appreciate the information about Merida.. if anybody is moving here, he’s the man to talk to moving abroad .. take care and I have nothing but happy wishes to you and your family
She needs to budget for Electricity if she wants AC to stay Cool in Merida.
Is electricity expensive in Merida?
True.
Yes. Electricity can get expensive.
@@JohnnieV It's hot all year long in Merida. Many say that there are two seasons in Merida, hot and hotter. I live where you can be outside all year long with no bugs or mosquitoes and you don't need a/c, my electric bill is around $7.00us per month. It's something that many people fail to consider when planning their budget. If you are considering living in Merida and want to be comfortable while spending most of your daylight hours indoors, plan on spending at a minimum of $100.00us per month on just your electricity. That's if you have your a/c on in just one room! If you want your whole home to be cool it could be twice that. That's enough for 72 fish tacos where I live! BTW-In Mexico the more electricity you use the more it costs per kilowatt! There is a "tier" system where if you are regular high use consumer even if you barely use any electricity it will cost a lot more than the average person. Buena suerte!
Its so crazy we (Americans) trying to get to Mexico and Mexicans are caravaning to the U.S. the grass is always greener I guess.
Even if you had to rent a smaller place in Mexico temporarily until you get ahold of your finances, you can always upgrade/move on later. It can be a stepping stone.
When are you making the move? Don't wait or the time will never seem to be just right! Buena suerte!
Because they’re trying to get US dollars and we’re trying to get our U.S. dollars to go further. Same idea, just in reverse.
Cartess, as usual, you created a great video. I can't wait to meet you in August for my new life change.
I have my residency but live in the US at the moment. I wanted to get that out of the way first. Now paying off debt for the move.
Smart. Because the requirements go up about 15% per year.
@@Mexicobeanpole Yes, I notice the increase since I got my residency in Dec 2022. I will retire within one year.
How long did it take you to get your residency after entering in Mexico? How long can you live outside of Mexico to maintain residency?
Simplifying one’s life is a gateway to Freedom! ❤ I have no qualms about living like a local. 😊Humility!
Hello Cartess. I met you three years ago. You picked me up at the Airport. Sorry I didn't see you anymore.
Just you being so kind to me helped me so much. I stayed in the Hotel Niki stayed at with the Mall. I loved it. You have come along way. Keep up the good work. If my grandkids let me come back I guess I will.
I'll keep in touch because, I would like a connection in Merida.
Hi Cartess. Awesome info, as always 🏆
Glad you enjoyed it!
What I don't understand is how people on social security can qualify for residency if they need to show 3-5k in income
He didn't mention this. Not sure how to work around that.
I agree because what I have researched recently is that you need at least $4,000 a month in a pension or Social Security to achieve the minimum monthly requirement to get residency in Mexico I am making a little less than 2,000 a month and I do not qualify to live in Mexico
There are a few other ways to adquire residency in Mexico besides proving income. Adjusting the inmigration status is one of them, among few others. One thing is applying for a mexican residency while being out of Mexico, and a whole different thing is applying for it while physically in Mexico. Where there is a will, there is a way.
There’s a program called “regularization” to qualify but like Cartess said, it’s best to hire a Mexican immigration facilitator. I got my temp residency in Merida in April. I qualified in Dec 2023 at a consulate in AZ under economic solvency. Good luck!
Regularization...check on it. Ask Tia Nikki in Merida
Sending blessings and love Cortez I work remotely and otw what about crab legs do they have them my husband passed and I need to start anew say hello to the family
This might be one of the most important videos you’ve made, Cartess. Thank you ❤
You are providing a great service. All of these places are nice!
The prices are amazing and the handicap accessible entry and shower and sqm is better than what I have. I could jump now but my girlfriend is afraid of everything and doesn't have an open mind about other cultures. The money maybe the 1 thing that will change her attitude I have to see my Doctor every 90 days and my Disability Check depends on me visiting the Dr. We can't do a lot of walking or driving so having all our shopping close by is really good. I Love watching your videos and gain info every time and it really has me licking my lips, but my girlfriend is the 1 who needs a "light bulb" moment to buy-into this change.
Maybe time to consider a new Mexican novia....
ProgresoBus from Centro Merida to Progreso Beach is a whopping $26MX.
Roundtrip is $52MX.
I always wanted to retire in the mountains or coast of Mexico. As a Texan I love the food and the people.
That's a good recommendation that I just might think about. Is there Facebook groups for people looking for roommates or people to rent out rooms? Great Vid Cartess.
Very good information. I will be reaching out to you soon. I need to move there. Thank you for sharing all that great information.
Good chat, good advice!
Where is the best place to stay while getting an apt.?
Wow! This is amazing. Thank your
I believe it Cartess, that your life has improved. Im coming back to visit friends in Valladolid and cant wait to see them. Mexicans have a warmth about them and they do prioritize family. I always feel so much more relaxed in Yucatan and so sad to leave. I live like a local so its not like im doing hotels or theme parks. Its the day to day and attitude. Quite beautiful actually. 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience. Merida has that magic!
Moving abroad is not for everyone.
I definitely agree with this statement. It's not for everyone for sure. It's very challenging
@@berlawberlaw1025 But necessity is the mother of invention
Yes
Besides the obvious reasons to get out im missing the lime soup.
Cartess, I am amazed at the beautiful properties you find on ANY budget! You are a blessing to all of us aspiring to make the move to Mexico! 🇲🇽 Thank you sir!
Can she get a part time remote job generating $600 a month and she dedicates that to her rent?
Great breakdown. 👍🏾
Hi Cartess still infatuated with you and your videos. My health issues are just that issues so I’m still in the process of getting my mind adjusted to my heart. Best to you and your lovely family. Stay tuned!
Hey Cartess I sent you an email about your relocation services! This video has motivated me.
Doesn’t Merida get to 39-41°? I think a/c would be one of her requirements. lol.
Yes... It does get hot. However, many homes in the lower price range tend not to have a/c... It's cheaper to add one versus jumping up to the next tier of rent that may include one. We're talking about buying a new one for $250 versus paying higher monthly rent for a place with one. In this range, they may have one in the bedroom, but the living room typically won't have one. So you're still having to decide if you'll add one.
Another great video!
its getting ridicules here in the US people are renting out 1 room in their home for $1200. Thanks for sharing
Muy agradecida con la información en este vídeo me a ayudado mucho 😉👍🙏😊😊
Excellent video, but the volume is very low brother.
Mic check, it's coming just fine and loud on my end, could it be your audio?
My apologies.
@@theoracle6881 I play TH-cam videos every day all day while I work and in comparison to other videos it’s very low. When commercials or other videos come on I have to turn the volume down. I like to listen to videos while I move around my office, but on this particular video I had to stay close to the computer. Even on my Bluetooth speaker it was kind of low. But I guess the volume being low could be subjective.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive thanks for what you do. I really appreciate your work. You’re the reason I started a sublimation business many years ago.
Where you at man!
Great video, thank you sir
Tell em about Tello Celular. It only costs $5.00 a month and you keep you US telephone number.
I see people living in the Philippines for $36 per month for a whole house.
In a hut 🤣
Wow
🤣🤣🤣
Hola Mayor Ross.
Tell me. What is the best time of day to meet up with the fishmongers?
Great video
She would be making a mistake to move to Mexico on such a limited budget. What about her health? She’s probably in her 60’s.
She should move into a 55 and older apartment/condominium complex in small/medium-size town USA and possibly seek rental assistance.
How is this person going to move here without having to prove the financial requirements necessary for a temporary residence?
The financial requirements are there to protect Mexico from being responsible for immigrants unable to afford living here with the high cost of groceries, health care, electricity etc! We have been here over 2 years and cost of living is much higher now than 2 years ago!
Great question.
What if your lease states no subletting?
You're absolutely right about living in Mexico is like going back in time. The family structure here is mostly still intact unlike the U.S. and most Mexican people are conservative and religious with Catholicism being the dominant religion here. You still see children playing with their parents in the Zocalo or main square even during the evening, where as in the U.S. you don't see that anymore. It's good if you can learn a few words of Spanish every day and have conversations with the locals. Sure there's bad areas and places in every city or town you shouldn't hang out but if you use common sense and stay out of sketchy places like certain clubs and bars you'll be fine. Mexico has the highest number of American expats living here than any other country in the world.
They have free concerts on the weekends here in Ensenada on the harbor malecon. You'll see whole families with all of the kids and grandparents in tow enjoying socializing, eating and dancing late into the evenings. It's great living here! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!
No thank you! I’d rather stay in Las Vegas! VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!
However, I did enjoy Puerto Vallarta for about a week last month!
😎
Fair enough!
Which state is this woman living in?
I'm gonna hold some details back.
Would it be okay to have your vehicle shipped from the US, I have an awesome Toyota SUV that's paid for and do not want to part from it?
Yes. People do it regularly.
Truth it is affordable outside US....time to go!😊 truth been back and forth for twenty years pulse.Abba Yah said get out US bc Rus coming!!! Pray He will make a way.

I don't know how to do any of this technological stuff and if you reply to me I don't know how to find where you replied I don't know how to do anything
Was supposed to come in September, 9th, to be exact, to Mayakoba, but my mother got sick . I'm planning on moving by Next April
Do you go and check out the actual place ?
I didn't check out these places, but I'm very familiar with the areas/neighborhoods. When she arrives, we'll go see rentals she selected from a list of properties.
How's the mail services there?
Mail services suck. Nothing like it is in the States.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive Thanks!
Mail you Christmas cards around Halloween and they might get there by Christmas
Cortese, I'm going to have to hire you also, I would like to have a place on the beach. Like what u found in Chicxulub. It was a 2bdr/2br for $550/ month.i will need 550 or less
