Classic Paul. “You see, they sell stuff. Everywhere”. 😂
It sure was liberating brother, and still is.
Everything we own fits in our Dodge Attitude.
Cheers from 2 Canadians traveling around Mexico. ❤️🇲🇽✌🏼
Your story is soooooo much like ours! We sold everything in SW Florida and moved to Merida Yucatán, great time, great food, great people!!! 3 years later we sold our house fully furnished, but we keep the car with Yucatán tags, way cheaper than us, registration free on line and insurance covering Mexico and US for a year. Now we bought a house in South Carolina and are super happy!! 😂
Thank you Paul for your updates on adjusting to living in the USA again. It looks like you used a lot of your expert know how to find the best deals and get the condo through Airbnb. Sorry that you had to move out and move back in, but it sounds like it may have been worth it. ❤
I am also turning 54 and still residing in Mexico for 3 years now. I just took off to Lima Peru, two weeks ago to explore the country and meet friends in Punta Sal. I would be so bummed if I had to move back to the USA but I keep an open mind if I had to. This type of info helps.
BTW I refer everyone I know that’s trying to get their Mexico RFC on their own to your video instruction on that. It sure helped me many think that they have to hire a facilitator or an attorney to get this done and that is just not the case as it’s not the same as getting residency.
Thank you for all that you do.
I just sold or gave away a house full of stuff at age 62, including my coveted vinyl record and vintage stereo collection. I'm down to a suitcase of clothes, and an overnight bag filled with life's small essentials. I'll be slow traveling through Central and South America by late December for the Hell of it. Great video
Stuff mmmm....We, wife and I moved to Puerto Morelos Qroo 3/21 with 4 suitcases, and our dog sold everything in the USA and rented several places over the past 3 1/2 years and used other people's stuff with the exception of purchasing a vehicle. As you mentioned, stuff is just that stuff. The most important thing is that we have each other. As we continue to move forward, the only thing that is packed in our van is our suitcases and two dogs. Oh, we rescued a street puppy two years ago. Rentals are inexpensive vs. the USA and the money saved is invested. Paul, I have enjoyed your videos, and you and others helped in our decision to make the move to Mexico. I am fortunate that I can work remotely and collect my SS, and all our stuff live a very comfortable life even though we have downsized. Wish both of you all the best.
I dragged all my stuff to Mexico in 2015. Big mistake. Then I dragged all my stuff back to the US in 2018. Big mistake. I should have done like Paul and not moved anything across the border, it is a nightmare and expensive. My US bank thought I was a drug dealer and wouldn't wire money to the customs agent at the border causing big problems. I will probably go back to Mexico eventually so if I take anything it will be very simple stuff with sentimental value.
I found, after moving to Mexico 2.5 years ago and having to buy all new "stuff" that I really missed my old stuff, things like books & photos and heirloom furniture. I found that these things ground me. Fortunately, I still have them in storage in the usa and have been slowly moving them down.
Hey Qroo - true fact I was just studying Mint and then you talk about it? I was just giving away stuff ( Live in Mexico right now) and you talk about STUFF?! 😮👍 You Rock
Looks like Mint doesn’t work in Mexico - will stick with Verizon ($30/mth )and my Telcel ( for Mexico) for now
Loved the info on Mint Mobile! Thank you!
Just watching your latest vid. When you said SW Florida, my heart nearly stopped.... Just kidding. We have spent 20 years in Naples area. Now on vacation in QR...
The only thing keeping me here is my pension accrual. I am trying to figure out a way out.
I’ve had Mint Mobile for at least 5 years, and I’ve saved a lot of money! 🎉
Mint Mobile sucks!
Fun stuff 👍. Be careful on Florida golf courses....
Haha, will do.
🎉well done with Mont Monile.
One day, I will do that, too!
Do you think you’ll move back to Mexico someday
Great video!😊
I moved to Mexico with 8 boxes. Now I have a whole houseful of furniture again. If I sell this house, I’ll also sell all the furniture with it. I invested in nice things for that reason. Do you think you’ll ever move back?
Hahaha I need my stuff Paul. I mean…I get it but I’m with Linda on what that stuff is 😂. Glad things are working out for you
Haha, it's just stuff! It's fun to look for new stuff.
less is more!
Ever consider moving back to Mexico again?
Love mint mobile
Mint works in Mexico?
Get an RV.
