I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

[@madidi_26]

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

[@Larissa-Raphaela]

@@madidi_26 That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well

[@madidi_26]

@@Larissa-Raphaela My advisor is Victoria Carmen Santaella

[@madidi_26]

You can look her up online

[@madidi_26]

Nah I Can't say I can relate, Victoria Carmen Santaella charge is one-off and pretty reasonable when compared to what I benefit in returns.

I moved here 6 years ago and love this city and I have to say some of the most friendliest people you have ever met. I have lived all over the country and I don't regret a minute of my time spent here.

[@LifeinSATX]

Love this!

[@jacktastick]

I moved here 3 months before covid and I love it. I've lived all over the country, and this place is amazing. I love the environment, the weather, and the people. The best decision I ever made was moving here.

[@LifeinSATX]

Love to hear that!!!

[@jacktastick]

@LifeinSATX I wish I grew up here. My life would have been so much better.

[@alyrios]

Fun fact: Bexar is pronounced "Behar" because when the Spanish came, the J was not yet in the Spanish alphabet. Reason why México in Spanish is spelled with an X but pronounced with a Spanish J sound. I've been living in SA since 2003.

[@YAH_ONLY]

How’re you liking it?

[@alyrios]

@@YAH_ONLY I like living here.

[@4Phoenix76]

Facts!

[@aliceestrada2904]

I lived in SA, prop taxes were 3% and went up every year. Houses are built cheaply, cutting corners. Foundations are not dug into ground for stability. They are on top of unleveled ground with brush and weeds left in place.

[@LifeinSATX]

When did you live here? I’m not sure where you ever saw foundations built like that. But property tax rates are most definitely not 3% or even close to that on average here. And for the record, for my house, the tax rate has gone down the last two years. Not up.

[@flowbrandz316]

No response??

[@fuckyouyoutube2834]

What I love about living in the San Antonio metro is the fact that the Rockport is just down the road, and Port Aransas, and of course you're beautiful Hill Country and all the beautiful towns that surround San Antonio not to mention, of course all the San Antonio has to offer.

[@LifeinSATX]

Amen to that!

[@ralphplazachesmarhomes]

Michael thank you for the great video. Meyer Ranch have that special feeling for families to make great memories. At night the sky is amazing. Lots of little ones enjoying the park and pool.

[@ajhourniforever]

I’m planning ahead for my Navy retirement in TX and you have really opened my mind to SATX again. Thank you Michael ❤

[@FacesintheStone]

Get a property tax break if you’re a veteran on disability.

[@ajhourniforever]

@@FacesintheStone absolutely I am loving the benefits TX offers veterans thank you so much!

[@sassynerd747b2]

Thank you for this video🙏👍! I’m seriously thinking 🤔 of moving to San Antonio or New Braunfels …or Helotes in 2026 or sooner 🙏✝️😇🤔…..Sonia from Orange County California

[@markanthony1004]

I love San Antonio, but my biggest issue since settling here after I left the military is how slow things develop here. I get the history needs to be preserved, but damn something new won't take that away. Then public transportation anywhere in Texas isn't great but it's sad we don't have lite rail and the airport is finally getting a bit more going for it, but overall it's a great place to raise a family, but good luck if you're single or looking for the kind of nightlife you find in Dallas, Houston, Austin, or places like that. Clubs and bars close at 1 or 2am Frost Bank and Church's Chicken started here and Frost Bank still has one of it's main corporate offices here as well.

[@yvonnepaxson521]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

I have traveled all over the US but here in SA where I live, it's the most restroom unfriendly city in America!

[@ericgarza3864]

In what way? Please tell

[@Zjperez9]

Great content! Really helps with deciding on moving to there or not. Considering moving from San Diego, CA

[@AskRemy]

Florida gets that heat index too - except it's a sauna - very difficult

[@margiezamora2557]

Do you do rental properties? I want to move to SA from NJ

[@wesbolding471]

Everyone must know that if you drive a ford truck, you WILL get it broken into. Plan on this being a constant thing. Also even had my taillights stolen, apparently it’s a thing here too, and it will take a long time to get them replaced. Real estate and rental prices are overpriced. Investors have bought up tons of properties and price gouge people. If you have a family with kids I’d recommend just moving to Boerne, Bulverde, or New Braunfels to keep your kids out of the ghetto schools.

[@ceciliaalvarez97]

China buying property here as well under Investor status. . .esp up by Somerset, China Grove, Adkins ( close to Toyota plant)

[@MrDiamond89h]

You forgot "LA Cantera" they call it "lock n terra"

[@LifeinSATX]

Fair point! Can't say I've ever had anyone mispronounce it so I didn't even think to include it.

[@ABBY-ml2rq]

Bless his young heart.. must live in a gated community in Alamo Heights or Stone Oak. He didn't really say anything about the reality of living in S.A

[@pandoralerma9181]

What do you mean by that ? It seems like a nice place to live low crime and family friendly. Please tell about a more realistic life there .

[@LifeinSATX]

I don’t sugar coat anything. You want to live in a great place, move to San Antonio. It’s like anywhere else in the world, there’s bad areas and good areas. There’s also angry, miserable people that are going to try to be negative about everything, especially on the internet, but I can tell you that 1,000% there are SOOO many more great people here than people like that. Your instincts are correct, San Antonio is a great place to live. Take what the trolls say with a grain of salt.

[@ABBY-ml2rq]

@@LifeinSATX LOL.... I live in San Antonio...born and raised...I know what the deal is. I was shot at last night on Blanco and West Avenue, crime and violence are nothing new to this city. It's not negativity, it's the cold hard truth. Positivity lives in the mind no matter your circumstances.

[@LifeinSATX]

@ABBY-ml2rq like I said, good areas and bad areas. Everything is based on having the right perspective. If you look for the negatives, you’ll find them. I’ve helped literally hundreds of people move here and not a single one has told me they regretted the move.

[@ahmedelghandour5323]

Could you please inform me the safest area to live in SA ? And how much rent for one bed room?

[@11Gbailey]

Anything northwest of 1604 (look at San Antonio like a clock ⌚) 9-12 is the best and safest areas. Rent can vary

[@marvelboi3416]

I use to live and work in Orlando, Fl and the heat Index is probably worst then Texas😂 jk haha.... My friend and I think about moving to San Antonio or Dallas and want to know if one of these city right for us. I heard it a lot to do in entertainment wise. Btw you forgot to mention all the entertainment like fun theme or water parks and concerts if you guys get big name artists.

[@LifeinSATX]

There’s a lot to do here but it all depends on what you enjoy the most for where you decide to end up. We don’t get a ton of the big big name concerts but still get plenty of options between the Alamodome and Frost Bank Center. Downtown is way underrated in my opinion and there is quite a bit of stuff to do in the suburbs as well.

[@marvelboi3416]

@@LifeinSATX So SA don't get artists like Beyoncè, Harry Styles, Jonas Brothers, Janet Jackson or Taylor Swift to come there. You guys ranked the second largest city in Texas.

[@southdetroitentertainment7741]

Are there scorpions in Boerne?

[@LifeinSATX]

Definitely going to find some there. But no matter where you're at, they're few and far between. Like I mentioned though, keep that pest control coming and you'll be fine!

[@danieltenorio3559]

Is it walkable or bikesble ?

[@LifeinSATX]

Definitely areas that are. Downtown and the areas around downtown are your best bets!

[@Nathan-pm8mh]

If I move to San Antonio, I want you to be my neighbor and have weekly BBQs!
