my brother just retired about 6 months ago, and I have never seen him so happy, he is leaving in a small town in Michoacán, and I've ask him about the violence that we hear here in the USA, he said that there is none, he is so happy, he told me that he spend about 650.00 per month but he had a lady that comes and cooks for him and cleans the house, he retired at 62 and he's leaving a dream, he looks a lot younger then before, I am looking foward to retired there too. thanks for your videos.

We travelled through Mexico for a month at the last of 2020. It's such a beautiful country and would be an amazing place to live in. There are definitely places that are more expensive than others, but it is possible to live simply and cheaply there. We ended up living in Nicaragua during covid due to border closures. Living in a Central American country is an amazing experience and so much cheaper than living in a western country.

Life is Math. 1 Youth is Addition i.e. you are constantly adding new things and experiences to yourself 2 Teenage Years is Subtraction i.e. You are forced to drop your childish happy ways and you must conform to society by removing your desires for freedom etc 3 Adult years is Multiplication. You begin to gather "stuff" , things, cars property, husbands, wives, reputation etc. 4 Old Age and Retirement is division. You divide up all your stuff if you have any wisdom in you at all and you realise you cannot bring any of it with you. So it's much easier to have little in old age

sir if you retire with about 1200 dollars a month you can even hire someone down there to help you do your chores at home like cooking for you , cleaning , doing your laundry etc most woman will do it for anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars a week so that means that if you pay even 100 dollars a week thats still only 400 dollars a month for having a maid that cooks for you even go shopping your groceries for you if you can not do it , cleaning your place , doing your laundry and stuff like that i am telling this since you mention you are disable and may need some help or some one to help you , you can afford it and like i said there are people ( women ) that will do it for less than 100 dollars a week paid .

We’ve been Ajijic for 4 days now. The people are friendly and the lake and mountains are beautiful. I researched Ajijic for 2 months before coming on this short trip. Here are some things that surprised me though none of them are inherently bad. First, the weather has seemed warmer than I expected. I think that’s due to the high humidity, very bright sunshine, and energy required to walk uphill on cobblestone streets. Fortunately we got one of the rare Airbnb’s with air conditioning but it was out our second night here due to a thunderstorm that took out a transformer. Second, we should have planned more activities in advance. Our first full day we stayed busy looking at the small shops between Centro and the Malecon and lucked out finding a bar with awesome live music that started at 4 pm. After that day, we ran out of impromptu entertainment opportunities. For example, the nice massage and facial spa was already booked solid for the next 3 days. Third, though people are friendly here like in Texas where we’re from, making new friends was not as easy as expected. During our previous 8 meals when we were sitting in restaurants around a bunch of other westerners, no one said hi or smiled struck up conversations with us. Only when I initiated the conversation did people respond. This is the same as I’d expect in Texas but I’d heard so many raves about the friendliness in Ajijic, I had unrealistic expectations. Fourth, Uber’s are not plentiful and taxis don’t drive around looking for customers. The taxis seem to congregate in El Centro so it was necessary for us to walk 10 minutes to get a taxi. Fifth, Ajijic downtown is not as clean and organized as Playa del Carmen or Oaxaca. In retrospect, I should have expected this since it’s much smaller. I also realized once here that the property taxes here are minuscule so having thousands of foreigners live here doesn’t generate much money for the local government to make capital improvements. In conclusion, we still enjoyed Ajijic, and hope our insights help others have accurate expectations.

+annette thompson I was studying the various videos about that region and the lack of services there should be a red flag to Americans with expectations. I expect somone who can not at all afford the states and speaks the local language and is not entirely misplaced in such surroundings would fit. But I note that Americans feel best around others with similar viewpoints so Mexico might be lonesome for all of them eventually. Reason, I suspect, the ones I have met that retired there always vist the states at the first opportnity. If you are already half dead and don't care about entertainment or are fully self reliant, you can make do in that very out of the way region. But perhaps, finding a way to just travel there when you need cheap housing, with an eye to returning when you can, sounds like a strategy I would utilize.

You can live a better life unless you want to be in very rural area in Mexico. You can rent a new studio apt including internet, cable tv plus utilities for $220.00 US monthly in Guanajato, I have done it. Walking distance to the main super market, close to historic downtown. Costco 1/2 hr away in Leon, excellent affordable medical. $600.00 - $700.00 monthly will give you a very nice life and you can afford to eat out.

My wife and I have lived in Baja Sur for 12 years. $300/month? Most people could not do that. Here are some more realistic numbers for most people: It's not as inexpensive here as it is on the Mexican mainland, but our 2 person food budget is around $250 US/month... in the US we spend more than this every week. We eat very healthy food, as much as we want, plenty of variety, plenty of meat and fish... we belong to a grow co-op where we pick our own organically grown produce and tree fruit, year around for $40/month (included in the $250 above). This budget is food and beverage only, excludes alcohol. We could find a reasonable place to rent for the two of us for around $400/month... simple living but comfortable. Add $75/month (average) for water/sewer/trash/electricity/propane including all the AC we need in the hot & humid months. Add in our annual vehicle maintenance cost, fuel, insurance, tools & toys, internet, subscriptions, a bit of entertainment & dining out 6-8 times per month, etc... we could get by for $1,200/month with no travel. With travel to the US 2x per year, we spend around $2,000 per month but we live quite well, including maid and gardener.

Hi Jerry, I just watched your video, good job of spelling out all the realistic costs of living typical for most people. Your numbers confirm mine very well, projecting $1,300 US/mo basic living cost with reasonable entertainment and dining allowance for a moderately social couple... add rent and you project $1,700-1,900/mo... this doesn't include alcohol, cigarettes, or travel to the US, maid and/or gardener. MORE REALISTIC #S: These costs would vary for every person, but for a couple to live here for under $1,000/mo would be a very tight budget not allowing anything for toys, entertainment, hired help, internet or subscriptions, travel or health care. Mexican families (husband, wife, 2-3 children) frequently manage to live on less than $500/mo, but they live on dirt floors in unfinished shacks made of scavenged materials, with almost no utilities. They maintain their own rickety old vehicles (and frequently walk when the vehicle is inoperable), and paying for food and warmth is a constant losing struggle. So why do Americans live in Mexico? Quality of life. You cannot live in the US for $2,000/mo with same level of comfort... in the US it would be more like $4,000 or $5,000/mo to live at the same standard and with the same freedoms. Suggestion: Your video title "Live in Mexico for $300/mo" is misleading. It would be more honest to include a disclaimer in your video info, or append commentary to the video itself.

I would not want to live even in Mexico on $300.00 a month, yes it can be done, but the quality of life would be minimal. Most people even on a small SS income have more than enough to have a quality life in Mexico, there are other countries that are even less and right now the peso here is gaining in value to the US dollar. The opposite to that is Argentina, Turkey and a few other countries, I have actually been there done that in Mexico as well as the other countries mentioned.

Yes you can live on 300 us in Mexico BUT that is poverty level . 300 us a month is what you pay for a low cost cleaning only maid. He can because he is producing his own food. He also is living off grid. Do you really want to live with no electricity or running water. Yes you can live realisticly on 600 us a month. Again it wont be living in Paradise but its very duable. More realistic. You wont be living in a retierment comunity. You will be renting in a low to médium clase área. Important at the end of the interview he casual la says free medical. NOT true.

Not free for you, It is free for most working Mexicans. Also all costs are depending on the city and lately if the city is becoming popular among foreigners it will tend to rise prices, remember supply and demand. So if you want to live really cheap you could but it won't be among rich foreigners or Mexicans for any matter. Maids are one of the lowest paid jobs here in Mexico, so I disagree with your estimates a maid can get paid less than 300 in other cities.

Older folks in the USA, please buy a couple of rental properties before you get too old to do it. Get 15 year loans on them, sell one after 8 or 9 years and pay off the other one. Now you have some extra income to live on. This is not a mystery folks, don't rely on jobs and Social Security. $300 a month OMG! I see so many older people working crappy teenager jobs at 65 or 70 that its disturbing frankly.

It doesn't have to be hard work. I have chickens, I found out I love having them. I use wood chips in the coop, so that needs cleaned only once a year (no smell). The wood chips and chicken poop are piled once a year with lots of water and hot composted, and used in a Ruth Stout garden. No weeding or watering. It doesn't have to be a lot of work, it CAN be fun if done right. Beside, you need to keep moving in retirement to stay healthy.

$2:50 is £1.93. In the UK 500g of good durum wheat pasta is 20p (with 100p to the pound). Fifteen eggs costs £1. Bags of ramen noodles are less than 10p. An 800g wholemeal loaf made with proper wholegrain flower is 36p. A kilo - 2.2lbs - of oats is 75p. 355g of broccoli is 36p. 800g of ground beef is about £2.50. A tin of sardines is 34p. I can buy a kg of curry powder for £2.99, and a kg of dry kidney beans for £2.50. In short, eating 3,000 healthy calories for £1.93 is easy: you can do it for a lot less. Maybe the pound is undervalued, but food has been dirt cheap in the UK for a long time, and there are good reasons to think that Brexit will make it cheaper still.

Lo de Marcos is very small and even though Memo lives across the river he walks everywhere... into town etc. In fact, he offers Monday morning walks (for free) that last an hour or so, as well as arranging other tours to local farms etc. Transportation is no problem as a "local" bus goes every hour from here to PV and if you walk a couple blocks to the highway you can pick up a larger (Greyhound type) bus and go anywhere in Mexico. He manages quite well!

My experience with food in Mexico is that the fruits and vegetables are far superior to what we get here in the States. I never had a ripe pineapple in my life until I went to Mexico- what a difference-very sweet and juicy. It was 25 cents, all cut up. Ripe avocados were a real treat. 5 cents for 3 ripe bananas. Sea food is very fresh and great, a little cheaper. The beef was terrible- this was pre NAFTA-but there were places you could find that had prime beef, but you had to look for it. Pork and chicken were ok .Mexicans like very hot food! Electric is high but on the plateau you don't need air or heat-like Ajijic. Mexico allows US citizens 180 days, Thailand only 30 days, and it is a 24 hour flight. Also you can own a home in Mexico, and only a condo in Thailand.

Angela thank you for your comment. in the years before the housing crash to qualify for a home loan you have to show that you made for times your monthly payment. As an example if your monthly payment was $2000 a month you would have to show that you had an income of $8000 a month to qualify. But when the housing boom started people could qualify for that same two thousand dollars on month payment and only show that they were making $2000 a month. They call those the liars loans. The old rule of thumb was one fourth of your monthly income you would be able to afford your house payment. Even so a lot of people we're hoping their home again in value so they took out money ( the equity in their home) but in reality it was a false number so that's how so many people Lost their homes because. It's sad let so many people we're affected by the big banks. Thank you for your comment and keep doing what you do it's appreciate all

you forgot that it was not so much the banks fault, but the people who should not have been given loans in the first place were.

Another great video Jerry. This video allows the viewer to see how *low you can go" given different circumstances. In Mexico, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 13,085 USD a year, compared to the USA average of 25,908 USD a year. It's hard not to appreciate the difference in the quality of life available to those more fortunate to make more choices. I'm thankful that I will be playing a role in supporting the Mexican economy when we arrive. :)

I am intrigued by this man's story. Could you give more examples on how to live below 600.00 USD a month? I don't want to live quite as minimalist as he does, but I don't need a lot of luxury items either. I researched that it is possible to get very affordable long term rentals, like a 2 BR for 300 - 350 USD a month, furnished and utilities included. Is that your experience also? On another note, he mentioned that he is eating fruits and vegetables that he grows. Does that mean he grows organic, or do Mexicans use Monsanto fertilizers? And then of course, the fresh fish on the open air markets, how "clean" are they? I hope that was not too much to ask, but I would like to live in Mexico by the end of the year, and I need to know how healthy a life style I can have there. I also need to figure out where I will be going... I looked at Mazatlan before, but I really loved the beach I just saw! :) Thanks for your great work! D.

My daughter is married to a young man from a rural part of Bosnia, right on the Una river within walking distance of Croatia. It is also a very affordable and beautiful place to live, and one day they and my grandchildren will inherit the ancestral home and land there. This video reminds me of that but of course a more tropical version!! There are many little jewels, little pieces of paradise, scattered around the world. And they are great for those who choose to live simply. As for myself, I could do without many of the modern luxuries we have come to depend on today, but one thing concerns me as someone over 55, and that is access to healthcare. For many of us that is a necessity, and although I’m not familiar with Mexico, I can tell you that in many countries around the world, especially in these little rural communities, access to healthcare is a huge challenge. However, if one is in good health and maintains a healthy lifestyle, this is truly ideal !!!! Thank you, I have subscribed to your channel and hope to see more!!!

I know people that have retired to foreign countries. Cost is the principle driving force to compel people to live in places like Mexico. My vision of retirement is not having to make these types of choices. You are far away and disconnected from family. Having to scramble to stay within a budget is stressful - not what a retirement ought to be. We haven't even talked about crime and healthcare. Nobody can convince me that Mexico has equivalent health services to America. These videos to me are a cautionary tale to the working young. Plan and save for your retirement so you are not forced to make severe lifestyle choices.

There're three visas 1 six month visa no money required to qualify but it's only good for six months then you have to leave the country and make an application for another six months. 2 temporary Visa good up to four years but you need to qualify the Approximately $1500 dollars a month income needed. 3 permanent visa apply one time and you don't have to play ever again need to qualify with $1500 a month plus.
