I totally did the opposite. Went to MX once for 2 weeks, went back for 3 weeks a couple of months later and bought a house, closed on the house 4 months later, and within 5 months sold or gave away everything I owned and moved to Mexico. Virtually no planning involved. When I make decisions sometimes I just jump off that cliff and never look back. Now here for 7 months and couldn't be happier with the house, the neighborhood, my nieghbors, the geographical area, and the climate.

[@GringosRUs]

Outstanding Jon. So glad that it worked out so wonderfully for you. It doesn't matter really how you get here, just do it. That is one way to do it now!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Glad it worked out for you! 😊

Agreed I decided 2 weeks ago I am moving and my lease is up in August. Moving September. I can not wait.

[@GringosRUs]

@@RENAissanceofConsciousness Very good. You will feel so much better when you cross the border and let all that negativity that is heaped upon us go. Smile with the people and enjoy a life that is all about being positive and happy. Yes, there are inherent dangers, but just be aware of your surroundings and try not to put yourself in harms way and your life will be fantastic.

[@brendakipling7733]

I loved the advice, "don't bring your baggage"

[@GringosRUs]

Thanks Brenda. We left it at the border and boy are we glad that we did. It is such a relief not having people yell over top of each other and think they are having a conversation. That is the part that was starting to drive us nuts. People are entitled to have different views and that doesn't make them evil, stupid or hateful. They have lived a life that has lead them to these beliefs and if one took the time one may find that there is validity in what they have to say. That requires listening and actually engaging in conversation. That is totally lost in the tribalized US. OH Well, time to get off the soapbox. Thanks you for watching Brenda.

[@maxpower9631]

great advice, just accept things are better in Mexico !

[@orlymarq6238]

I went to Mexico and I loved it. As you mentioned people in the USA are not talking to each other/ Neighbors do not greet each other/ very rare I see that. My way back to USA by Texas ( Dallas Airport) I was greed by an Unfriendly Inmigration Agent and I realized that moment how kind and friendly is Mexico. Totally two different worlds,

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

💯

[@GringosRUs]

And the longer that we are down here in Mexico, the more we realize how unhospitable most of the US has become. It is a shame, but until people wake up and start to be civil to one another, I fear that it is on a road that leads to bigger problems. It starts in Washington, when the leaders of the country show civility, people will follow. It has not been evident for many years and people have taken their cue from them. Glad that is a problem that is no longer ours to worry about!

[@rishalinda7165]

We moved to Mexico in 2022. We purchased a beautiful, 4/4 home near Cuernavaca, and we have never been happier or more relaxed. We didn’t want to live in an expat area because those areas are pricier and too catering to "Gringos". I am forced to learn Spanish, which at near 70 years of age is not so easy, but people are kind and patient with me. My husband is from Mexico but has been a U.S. citizen for 25 years. When we were married 23 years ago, we traveled to Mexico to see his family, and I fell in love with Mexico. We returned almost every winter to spend time traveling all over Mexico, and I realized that Mexico was where I wanted to live for the remainder of my life, so here we are. Best decision I ever made.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Nice! We have a video coming out on a family who moved to Cuernavaca also.

[@GringosRUs]

We are so happy that it is working out for you as well. We totally love it here in Mexico and the journey around this fabulous country has been outstanding. We are constantly meeting new and wonderful people everywhere that we go. And yes, so far, we are finding the same thing to be true regarding living in an area with a high concentration of Gringos just doesn't feel as comfortable. We are also having to learn Spanish and feel your pain, but the people here are so accommodating with us. As long as the effort is being made, they will work with you. Glad that you enjoyed the video.

[@AzerPaul]

These two people are really sharp and articulate their knowledge well. And I like their relationship. Good video.

[@GringosRUs]

Thank you Paul. We try to come across smarter than we are. LOL We are having such a good time here in Mexico that it just helps the relationship become even stronger.

[@JoseAngelFlores]

God blessed this couple! Being Mexican sometimes I watch these videos from Americans and people from other countries coming to live here because I have see the things we take for granted here and don't appreciate. This couple seem very intelligent people, they did their homework, did research and found a nice place in our country to settle. Great video.

[@GringosRUs]

Thank you Jose. We still haven't found home yet as we still have 3 years left on our tour of Mexico that we are doing to determine where our ultimate home in Mexico will be. The best part is that we are able to see so much of this beautiful country and the warm people that live here. Thanks for watching.

You are absolutely correct when you get a friend in Mexico IT'S a lifetime friendship. Our young friend from Acapulco gated community (the young gardener) still videochat with us anytime he can... To check on his old friends... We teased and tell him "yes, we still alive 😊😊😊😊" Welcome 🤗

Thank you so much Dragon. This country is so magical and what truly makes it that way are the people. They will always share a smile and a laugh with you. It warms the heart to experience this every day and you can't help but return the warmth and love. That is a great story and it just goes to show how deep the appreciation for friends go here in Mexico.

Jalisco which we are going to visit somewhere the 20th of this month.... You guys really understand the meaning of retiring in another country and merge in their culture. Gracias por sus lindas palabras....

@@Dragon-kf5sb Gracias. We are like Grand Funk Railroad. We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down. LOL We still have about 25 cities on our tour left to do over the next 3 and a half years. We just spent a month in San Luis Potosi and absolutely loved the city. Cool, flat and very pedestrian friendly. And we were just a few blocks from Jardin Tesquisquiapan and we had such a blast walking around and seeing the couples holding hands and being happy. It warms our hearts. We would love to meet the two of you as well and keep us abreast of where you settle down and we can give you an idea of when we will be swinging through on our whirlwind tour of Mexico.

[@Dragon-kf5sb]

@@GringosRUs that's a deal 🤝 First we thought of Chapala area, not Ajijic... Too darn crowd, some entitled expats and the infrastructure sounds like is getting too critical regarding sustainability ( according to Lake Chapala Society's KZbin reports, and several comments from the locals; this trend seems to be spreading towards Jocotepec, Chapala city , San Antonio Tlayacapan. We will be visiting there BUT to check out the towns further towards the East side of the lake and up north towards Puerto Vallarta (far from the coast... Heat and I no longer get along. Got good information from Access Chapala Real Estate agency's talked personally with them and we will see what they know about the near areas of Guadalajara/Puerto Vallarta/Chapala.... "Juntos pero no revueltos" ( together but not mixed up) an old Mexican saying... 😂 We prefer quiet and easy going place to spend the rest of our days staring at each other and see who goes first.... LoL 😂😂😂😂

[@GringosRUs]

@@Dragon-kf5sb We are also doing the Jocotepec, Ajijic and Chapala run at some point. The longer we are in the country, the less enthused I feel about Ajijic. When we were doing the planning stages, it was very high on the list, but in watching other KZbinrs, it has lost a little of the luster for me anyway. If we were a little down on SMA due to the increased Gringo presence, I have a fear that Ajijic will be the same. Plus there is the traffic issue and that is not something that can readily be fixed as the layout really dictates the road possibilities. One of the things that we are doing is trying each location at it's worst time of the year if possible. Like Merida in the heat of the summer. Everyone says how hot it is there, well, if we love it then, we will definitely love it in the winter. We just don't want to be guilty of not totally knowing what we are getting ourselves into. If we start melting on our videos or resort to doing them only inside, then that will be a good indicator. You do sound a lot like us, looking for that right location. It looks good on the map, but until you try it you don't know. Hence our 4 year tour around Mexico seeing all the potential landing spots. If it's a staring contest at the end, I am toast. LOL

[@michaelkraft218]

Appreciate the honesty and candid advice. It's sad that America has that sense of anger and the lack of just being able to talk. Mexico still has the joie de vivre.

[@GringosRUs]

I think that part of that anger is by design and the other aspect is the loss of analytical thought. It is easier to just parrot what you have been told than it is to actually listen, think and formulate your own opinion. Oh well, other country problems. LOL

[@Rhaspun]

It is sad. It's difficult to have a conversation about current events before someone has to throw some shade on some politician or two.

@@Rhaspun So very true. When in fact neither party has done anything in the past two decades except point their fingers at each other and see who can yell the loudest. There is real work that needs to be done and those idiots are incapable of even passing simple bills like, abolishing daylight savings, or addressing spam calls. Term limits are so sorely needed to put fresh people in office to do some work and then return home to live with the results of their work. OK, off of my soapbox now. LOL

Families being together and laughing. It just warms our hearts to no end to witness all of this and it has helped to put some of that back into our relationship as well. What a country! The money is always a concern no matter where you live and the work aspect is so limited, but fortunately Gina is a talented IT person so she can work remotely and keep me in the lifestyle of which I have become accustomed.

But 10 years ago life threw me a curve.. divorce.. lost everything to her, courts just side with women in California.. i did end up with my children as that to me was more valuable than materialistic things even money.. im finally very stabilized mentally and financially.

This guises moved something deep inside of me, when the lady said, “if you come here, don’t bring your baggage with you”!!! Im planning on moving to another state, and that advice killed me in a very good way! Bendiciones y saludos desde Las Vegas Nevada!!!!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Saludos! And yes it’s great advice

[@GringosRUs]

Glad that it helped. We were just fed up with everyone being angry up there and down here it is so relaxed and peaceful. Best move that we ever made! Thanks Ivan!

[@Dan-departingin5mins]

I loved the video with this wonderful couple. Best of luck to them.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Thank you! You too!

[@GringosRUs]

Thank you very much Daniel. It was a lot of fun to do this with Mariana and the Mexico Relocation Guide team. We became customers of hers when we started looking at making the move and it has proven to be a great asset that we continue to utilize on this side of the border.

Bienvenidos a México muchach@s , saludos del estado de Jalisco. 😊

[@GringosRUs]

Gracias John!

[@luisgomez3936]

Really good information and I am impressed by how much research and forethought went into your decision to move to Mexico. I really did the opposite. I retired early and came to Chapala just because there were so many retirees moving here that I wanted to see what the fuss was about and ended up loving it and bought a house and have been so happy and glad about this decision now 17 years later! Thanks for your views on moving here.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Thanks for sharing Luis! Glad it worked out for you. Saludos amigo

[@GringosRUs]

Outstanding. We will be working our way to the lake Chapala area in our adventures. Look forward to maybe having a chance to meet up and compare notes!

[@tcbethel4832]

Thank you so much for your wonderful testimonial. I literally have tears in my eyes.

[@GringosRUs]

Gracias. It is easy when the truth is spoken. The weight that was lifted off of us when we arrived in the wonderful country was the best welcoming gift that we could have ever received. The best part is that was only the beginning. The warmth of the people here is just so overwhelming. My advice to everyone coming here, drop your defenses and just revel in the love that is felt here. You will be so much better off for doing so.

[@themastervictor9409]

Your advice comes from your heart and has been so helpful. Continue enjoying your stay in Mexico and God Bless!!!

[@gford9988]

Wonderful video!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey.

[@GringosRUs]

Glad to do it. We have found so much joy in the move here. Plus the adventure of seeing all the different cities while we search for our retirement home. There is so much to see in this wonderful country. Thank you for the very kind sentiments.

[@mdenisen]

Thank you!!! Great show and great info. And I concur, the anger in the US is unbearable, we are anything but United and I don’t see that changing anytime soon, thats the main reason we’re planning on making the move (plus we love the food)

[@GringosRUs]

That was a huge factor in our making the plunge. We were both amazed at how quickly that stress from the other side of the border disappeared once we were here. It is truly like out of sight, out of mind. The food is a huge plus as well.

[@Mphscat]

Listening to y'all in Irving TX and so amused. My husband is from Aguascalientes and I do hope you enjoyed yourself while there! All his family is there actually. You are correct about two things: #1 If possible, learn Spanish before you go over #2 Except that life is lived differently there and embrace it. Enjoyed your take on things.

[@GringosRUs]

Thank you so much. It has been great and even with the language barrier, that we are working to lower each day, one cannot help but feel the joy and happiness here. Embrace it and the hug you get back is so great!

[@JhovannyKapatan-uo4ng]

Very unique format, I enjoyed watching the whole video and I appreciate reading the questions. I hope you continue that, very original. Mark sir, Gina ma’am, I wish you the best on your adventure to 30 locations. I will watch and wish you good health and plenty of remote work to keep you motivated. Mark sir, I take it you were primarily into film. If you did digital, would you still pick up work and if so, what kind of work can a digital photographer do in Mexico? Asking for myself one day/some day.

[@GringosRUs]

Thank you for those kind words. I did eventually switch over to digital when the economics basically mandated it. When it was a dollar for every time one pressed the shutter button, it did not take much to convince me to make the switch. I got rid of all my gear when we came down here, no room in the car, and besides, I am retired. I do think that a good photographer could do well down here. Between shooting good shots for real estate and AirBnb's and then the never ending supply of nature and candid life in the streets. It all depends upon where you would want to settle in to.

[@watdahek2]

I enjoyed listening to your story. We are both over 67 and renting in SoCal near Laguna Beach. We have visited many beach towns in Mexico the last 18 years. Cancun definitely is not on our list. Puerto Vallarta is one place we have visited 9 times and enjoy very much. We have visited Loreto Baja Calif. twice the last 3 years. It is a beautiful quiet and peaceful town. We love the waters of the Sea of Cortez. Thanks for sharing!

[@GringosRUs]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. We agree totally about Cancun, and for that matter the whole of Riviera Maya. It just doesn't fit us. It works for a lot of people though and that is what matters. We are going to be going to both PV and Loreto in our journey to find our new home.

[@watdahek2]

@@GringosRUs Please let us know what you think of both towns. Good luck in your search.

[@GringosRUs]

@@watdahek2 thanks, we are city number 8 of our tour of Mexico so far. It has been a fabulous journey and we are finding the one main constant is that the people here in Mexico are so warm and welcoming. Todos tienen grandes carazones!

[@srvsgal]

Have to agree with your statement about the crowd. I was on the Malecon in the evening in PV. Very crowded. I felt more at ease there, than at the Jersey shore at night. Everyone was respectful. Enjoying themselves. They just added curfews here to the Jersey shore because the teens were doing so much damage. Sad.

[@GringosRUs]

It is a totally different mindset. There are people looking for trouble in the US and here, people are looking to have a good time. You can physically feel the difference and it is so refreshing.

[@jorgeg1000]

Hi, new to your channel. I love the video. As a Mexican living in North México on the border has been normal for me to travel into US (and in México of course) and is a little sad how the things have changed over the years; (now I feel not really welcome in US sometimes) ; you are right; there´s a tension now that I never experienced when I was younger as a tourist in US. I travel to Guanajuato every year in October, with a stop in León and SMA when i have the chance. I realy like your honest and warm words :) Jorge

Great video guys! This is the reason why a lot of people is moving down to Mexico. most people in the US ignore what is In the other side of the border. Most people hear Mexico and think about violence, cartels, kidnapping, But that's not the real MEXICO.

[@GringosRUs]

You are 100% correct Edgar. The media in the US just likes to paint that picture so that their viewers feel safer there. We have never encountered anything that has made us feel unsafe. Maybe uncomfortable, but that was mostly due to our ignorance of what was happening. The pace of life, the happiness and the sense of family here in Mexico is what makes this a truly magical country.

[@castoresnegros]

You guys look pretty young,healthy and happy. Enjoy your new endeavor

[@lcinflorida8728]

Fine couple! Kinda wish I could do this...now!

[@GringosRUs]

I tell you what, so did we. Then once we started to plan it, then start working the plan, it made the wait easier. Doing the little things like starting to purge the house. That was a huge chore and we really wish we had had more time to accomplish it. But start writing your plans down and refining them and then before you know it, it will be time to move to Mexico. I do recommend that if you are able to get your residency in 2023 to do so. That way you get the rates before they go up yet again. Besides, with the Mexico Relocation Guide, you have everything that you need to get the ball rolling. Thank you very much for your kind words.

[@susanwirth-white1668]

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

[@GringosRUs]

The biggest savings that we are realizing, financially speaking, is in the ancillary items. Pharmacies, mercados, and gas. Yes, gas is more expensive here, but we don't drive like we did in the US. It was always in the car we would go, here, there and everywhere. Down here, we walk a lot more. The hardest part is in making the decision to pull the trigger, so to speak, on making such a life altering move. We took some time to come to the decision, but we are so glad that we did. We are now in our 12th city of our tour to find our retirement home. The people here in Mexico have made us feel so welcome and we just continue to live our dream every day. We have about 10 or 12 more cities to go before we make our final determination, but it will definitely be here in Mexico. All we can say is "come on down, the weather and people are both warm and inviting!"
