Good choice... especially with easy retirement / education visa options. A lot Less Risk in terms of food & energy too.

[@MrWaterbugdesign]

I've been researching a move to SE Asia. I moved from San Jose to Phoenix 18 years ago. It will cost me more to live in SE Asia when I factor in homeownership. Food is the same or more depending on what and how I eat. Electric is higher and AC would likely be a 24/7 thing while in Phoenix it's a 4-5 month thing. I still plan to move but without thinking it will be cheaper. There are many places in the US that don't have the "endless grind" and have a much lower cost of living. It's really only a few tiny areas where that isn't true.

[@amusingarts]

I arrived in SoCal with my parents in 1956 from Stockholm Sweden, I was 5 years old. I grew up in California and LOVED it. We were in the middle of everything, Newport Beach, Palm Springs, Lake Arrowhead, Downtown L.A. where all within an hour drive of our home. Being a "Californian" I often tell people that I really only had one ambition in life; to live at the beach. So I moved to Santa Monica in 1979 when I was 27 years old, renting a one bedroom apartment at 5th and Bay St for $250 a month. Over the years I lived in Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Playa del Rey, and Marina del Rey. I had my sailboat in Marina del Rey for 25 years. 2008 was the year that brought it all down. My wife's father died, her mother broke her hip and my wife lost her HR job, (after laying off 250 people). I stood one afternoon on my porch in Santa Monica apartment and gazed towards the southern intersection where I could actually see the building that I had first moved into in 1979. Then it struck me that here I was, having moved so many times , right at the same place I was in 1979. The only fundamental difference were that I was married now, had a rent of $2,800 instead of $250. In a nutshell I really hadn't gotten anywhere in in 29 years. SO, we decided to avoid a looming disaster, cut our loses and move to The Woodlands TX. We lived there 10 years, we were finally able to buy a house that, if it had been in Santa Monica would have cost way over a million bucks. I loved being a home owner after all those renter years as a renter. But after 10 years of oppressive heat and our house nearly flooding during Hurricane Harvey, we decided suburban home ownership in a cul de sac in Texas just wasn't our style so we cashed in on rising real estate prices and moved to San Miguel de Allende. My father sold the family home in California of 50+ years recently, and, as sad as that was, visiting L.A. had actually become so depressing I was weirdly glad. California today isn't even a shadow of what it used to be. What sticks in my mind the most is that what used to be a 30-40 minute drive to grandpa's house for Christmas or Thanksgiving, is today a 5 hour trek. BTW loved that speedy little drive down Ocean Ave with my old office in the background left 1 Wilshire.

[@Gallo2023]

You miss the opportunity to buy your own house when you were younger and maybe a couple of rental properties, since the houses were very cheap in those years, but you can't tell the people how to live their life I guess.

[@amusingarts]

@@Gallo2023 Yes Beto, When I lived in Venice Beach you could buy a great house for about $100,000 a block from the beach. The problem was interest rates at that time were sky high, 15-20%. Also being self employed was not a recipe for steady income. It's OK, I finally bought a house when I was in my late 50's and discovered that living in the suburbs of Texas is a soul robbing experience. I rent now in a 500+ year old town and walk everywhere. No more wasting life in an A/Ced transportation pod crawling at 20mph over acres and acres of asphalt. Good riddance!

[@amusingarts]

@@Gallo2023 Yes Beto, houses were cheap and so were wages and salaries. In the 70's in southern California $20,000- $30,000 was a pretty good yearly income. A new Mustang cost about $3,500. My Dad first house he bought new for $9,000. What you have to realize is that in the United States overall, salaries have stagnated since the 70's. If wages had kept up with inflation the minimum wage today would be $23.00.

These videos are hilarious. I lived in CA for college for 5 years, and with a work permit in hand after graduation, I happily decided to go back to Mexico instead of pursuing a career in the US. CA is great, love the ocean and surf but Mexico has so much MORE to offer. So happy I’m here, enjoy a good life and happy that I’m contributing to my nation instead of another one. Yes, we have lots of issues but there is so much potential down here if you have a good vision! If you decide to come and live here, you’re welcome as long as you’re nice, have appreciation for our culture, ways, history and heritage, and if you also pay taxes here. If you just want to move here because it’s convenient and cheap, mmm try Arkansas or Missouri.

What about the language barrier in Mexico (Spanish) verses Canada (English, mostly)? People tend to underestimate the difficulty of acquiring a foreign language, especially as they approach middle age and then ultimately retirement. Seems like you'd better be a youthful multimillionaire (and then some) and a quick study when it comes to foreign languages. Then there are the cultural similarities between the U.S. and Canada verses the cultural differences south of the U.S. border. Learning to adapt in a foreign place, too different from your own where presumably you plan to live, could eat up a lot of your time and energy. If you enjoy that, then a language-differentiated destination could make sense for you.

[@youtubeuserzzzz]

Honestly speaking, "language barriers", are usually an issue with Citizens from the 5 Eyes Countries. Take Scandinavian Countries-for example-, they move all over the world because during their youth years, they develop an ear for multiple languages. It's what they learn. So in their Host Countries, they make efforts towards the local language. Whereas Individuals from the 5 Eyes Countries, develop a mindset of "everyone knows English, I'll be OK". Which is NOT a respectful approach when exploring the possibilities of moving to a Country that is NOT first language English. Sure many people have knowledge of English but it's NOT their first language. I myself have seen Monolingual English Speakers, get upset at a local, who didn't speak English very well. I thought to myself. We are NOT in one of the 5 Eyes Countries. So why would you expect a Local's English to be great? English is NOT the official or de facto language here. I speak 4 Languages. They were acquired in my youth years. Which makes it easier to grasp another language, be it in my 40s, 50s etc. It's best to learn at least 2 languages. Much easier to start young and NOT wait until middle age.

I'm talking about coastal California where the weather is good, nice beaches, action sports, diverse culture, mountains, etc. So where are you going to go? Texas? Idaho? Tennessee? Even Florida cant compare. When you look international there are tons of places in Latin America or even SE Asia that fit the bill.

I know the topic is Mexico but I think my question has some relevence. One thing that I'm observing in Latin America is a move to the far left politicly speaking. Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and now Colombia (Petro x- M-19 marxist guerrilla is pres) and protests in Ecuador. Mexico's Amlo is very left of center too. Latin America seems to cycle back to socialism over and over again with not so great results (ends in disaster), Latin American leaders (right or left) fail to address effectivly the high level of poverty no matter if the right or left has power. I know you have property in Mexico and Colombia. Are you concerned that things may turn against expats with capital?

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

Not near your age yet, but I lived and worked in CA for a long time when I was younger. It has declined SIGNIFICANTLY over the years. I've seen entire areas that use to be nice middle class neighborhoods turn 'hood'. Parts of LA don't even look like the USA anymore. Parts of San Francisco and Oakland are just as bad. And the whole Central Valley area is dotted with blighted, decaying towns that are nuanced with drugs, illegals, and gangs. Poverty and homelessness are getting really bad pretty much everywhere but no one talks about it. But, not all of California has seen the rot. There are parts of the state that are still very pretty, and if you are wealthy and live in one of these areas you won't really see the decline. Eventually, even the wealthy will be affected by the decisions being made by the state's politicians though. What the state government is doing there is not sustainable. It is becoming too expensive to do business there, and many companies are moving to other states. a LOT of small businesses in California's biggest cities have closed since the coof, and many will not reopen. The average Californian isn't anything like Pelosi, or Newsom, of Maxine Waters. I have family there (older, retirees) who had to sell their house and move into an RV because they couldn't afford the property taxes anymore. There is a slow exodus of businesses and working class people out of California. The politicians need to collect revenue to support their ridiculous policies, so who will they get the money from? The statistics are real. Its not silly at all.
