It's my plan to retire abroad. I plan to make my money in the USA. Then, my wife and I will travel (just as we did for about 3 years when we got married) while we still have our knees. Likely, I will purchase a small property in a developing country...as a home base. And then, as I become less mobile, I can live comfortably with affordable services and in-home care. I could retire right now, actually, if I sold my real estate holdings. But I'm stick in the thick of my earning years.

Want another dream of a city to start "mining" the houses - where it hasn't got expensive? Try Durango, DUR.Mostly smaller old Colonial homes, but beautiful within walking distance of main town plaza. An old mining town - sister city to Durango, CO. (which got then name from Durango, DUR.) Great museums, great cafe society, and culture - couple of live theaters, etc. Caution though - it does have 3 seasons and is up high at 7000 ft elevation.

there's nothing wrong with wanting to live in Mexico, the problem is when these foreigners start moving here its makes it harder and more expensive for locals. there is a reason why you think it's "cheaper" because in the U.S you have the privilege of making more income. in Mexico it's not like that, people here sometimes only make $5 a dollars a day depending on what they do, and you guys come here to take advantage of how cheaper it is. the system was not make for you. but if you live here respect my people, culture and always support the locals. just don't come because its benefiting you, that's just exploitation of your greed.

[@sandiraygoza1514]

@Abbs M, completely agree that most of the Mexican citizens are struggling to survive. If their government allows so many foreigners buying up properties that are sold in USD, that is mostly unattainable for the local citizens to purchase. Many of the foreigners I've come across in my travels to Guadalajara, Jalisco end up living in the best places like Lake Chapala, Ajicic, etc.. and many live in gated communities. Overall they live in safety and the healthcare in Mexico is much more affordable than in the USA. Another thing I noted upon my travels to places like Acijic is many US citizens living there have created an artistic community but they are not promoting the local Mexican artists but themselves. You'll notice this video has English names for coffee shops and other businesses, that is very telling in itself.

[@abbsm8873]

@@sandiraygoza1514 yes, and its infuriating that these foreigners get the privilege to enjoy the beautiful Mexican land while , the actual Mexican citizens have to live in under-developed areas, barely making ends meet. and they come here making business and as you said communities that only benefit them and exclude the Mexican people in their own land. plus the housing market is ridiculous like how you going to give all these foreigners the right to buy homes in Mexico with the the basic house needs and not actual Mexican citizens who sometimes don't even have running water or a sustainable roof/home. the government needs to wake up and make an affordable housing market for it's people.

I’m a Canadian who owned a condo on the beach in Mazatlan in 2016. It was $104,000 USD. I put $25,000 in renovations into the condo. It was a nice condo but being just above ground level it was plagued with ants and cockroaches. Normal things to deal with in hot weather climates. It just wasn’t something I could deal with as well as the language barrier was challenging. The time spent there on vacations was amazing at first but soon the novelty wore off. It’s not for everyone and takes a lot of thought to make such a huge move. I ended up selling my condo in 2020 and am happy I did. I know that I’ll miss the hot weather in the winter and I know that retiring in Canada will be challenging. Yes I could have kept it and rented it out but then it’s having confidence in someone to look after it for you while you’re away. For me selling it was the best decision. Yes I would have had far more in Mexico but moving away permanently from my children and grandchildren was the deal breaker for me.

I have about 8 years until retirement and I am considering migrating to another country, possibly Mexico but I also have other places in mind. The USA is in decline and the political climate and cultural division here are soul crushing. I so admire people who aren't afraid to pursue happiness and fulfillment on their own terms, wherever it leads them.

Hello, I'm actually looking for a good trader that can help me trade and make good profit, I've been seeing so many recommendations but I don't think they're trusted. Please do you have any recommendations?

[@jeannied63]

Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.

[@Michael-me4rw]

That's true most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad expert.

[@georgejoe4845]

Exactly, it's really good keeping an expert with years of experience close. Just like I have Mrs Sandra Wilson she has made a lot of profits for me.

[@markwaterfall8932]

Wow😮 I'm shocked someone mentioned and recommended expert Mrs Sandra Wilson , and she's the best...she's the plug .

[@georgejoe4845]

@@markwaterfall8932 You don't have to be surprised Mrs Sandra Wilson is good and everyone loves her qualifications and genuine service I guess that's why she's popular

I admire your courage! But as I age (I'm age 71 and my husband is age 77) I'm not sure that a home with 4 levels and stairs is the right choice for many seniors. But $500.00 a year in property taxes is a REAL DRAW! Are there senior services In Mexico, esp for a woman alone?

[@anacat8780]

You can pay less than 500 in taxes for a home of the same size in the US...do you research.

[@oco987]

I’m sure alot of Americans are going to move to Mexico and elsewhere rather than live in poverty in the US during retirement because people aren’t saving enough

[@ericktellez7632]

People can’t save even if they wanted to its too expensive

[@nsanenthembrane]

Like the other person said even if you save it’s probably not enough for retirement here

[@claudiamarquez2953]

Displacing the locals in the process. $160k is relatively affordable for Americans but mostly unattainable for locals

[@ariefraiser140]

@@claudiamarquez2953 Well there's the whole gringo price thing where locals jack up the price of something just because the person is a foreigner. It's a vicious cycle.

Saving money won't get you as far as you think, instead invest in assets that cashflow. Cash is trash. Cashflow is King.

[@jwrn4u]

Bravo!!! I have been saying this for 20 years, you punch a time clock and you can’t retire in the former USA, it’s done here

[@FinancialShinanigan]

Posting some videos on people living in America & struggling might help spur some change in people's mindset about money and what's possible. Oh wait, people can just find examples of that in their own lives so nvm.

[@Sunflo07H]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Enjoy every minute of your life!! I will be 59 yrs old in two weeks, and I'm trying to retire now. I do not have any savings. But I will continue to dream of San Miguel De Allende 💓🙏🏻

Funny because I just came back from my vacation in Mexico and I see this was uploaded. I loved it there. Definitely going to have to look into property there in the future by the water

Hi Glen, I love your home. I have a future retirement house in Mérida that I rent out as an Air BNB for the time being. You won't believe this. My exterior house color is exactly the same as yours, house and door. :) Great mind think alike.

Great video. I’m glad I found it.

[@anagarza8326]

I wish people would accept the Mexicans in the US and don't put them in cages. We let old people who doesn't really work and cities are becoming more expensive since there is a high demand for houses from old retaired people from the US and the prices are going up. They don't even try to speak Spanish so entitled.
