Not sure being an animal lover. I could handle the attitudes towards stray dogs and the cowboy culture is not necessarily very humane I think I would have a house full of starving critters most of the time and probably be stressed to not take in more

Older vid I know, but my wife and I just got back from a visit, and I was blown away by the lack of bugs. Just some honeybees. No flies or anything. So maybe it’s seasonal.

Sea level will rise 5 feet by 2057

Are you guys still in Turkiye?

Try EL SALVADOR...!!

I’m Turkish and US citizen Turkey is lovely but I prefer US I reside in Newyork I love Newyork. We have lots a good stuff as well. Great video thanks❤

I'll probably try to steer clear of touristy places-where rip-offs are par for the course-and go off the beaten track.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

Amazon MExico delivers everywhere!

Lots of good info. Odd about the health problems. The most unexpected but consistent remarks that I have run into about leaving the US/Canada for Mexico has been significant improvements in health just from eating local food, de-stressing, and who knows whatever environmental de-toxing. Sorry to hear that; if you could un-bug the health issues, I guess there would still be the economic ones. And those economic factors would seem to plague any country that opens its doors to expat incomes. Huh...

Yes, I’ve had the same experience, I could NOT even get an interview at the Seattle consulate due to work related issues. They insist on remote verification or social security letter. I don’t even plan on working there as I’m close to retirement. They seem to want you to be retired even if you have the savings/investments. I may reconsider once I retire. Not giving up on Mexico though because of the ease and closeness of traveling to and from the US. Zero interest in Asia or Europe.

how hard is to get a residency in Türkiye for retired USC?

Short hop from Istanbul but with a culturally different experience try out Bursa, the former capital of the Ottoman Empire. In the Bursa region you have the shoreline of Mudanya, hot springs of Yalava, and the mountain terrain of Uladag. Little more conservative than Istanbul and Izmir but shares the famous Turkish warm hospitality. Oh, it is the home of the renowned Iskender Kabab, which best eaten at the original little blue shop in the Heykel area of Bursa. Expect to wait, you won't be disappointed.

Great video about Türkiye.

Türkiye is absolutely fantastic.

Recently having a residence permit is a challenge for low income families. Just for your information.

Ya we are moving to Arizona from Mexico it's cheaper and safer

Nine months later (Sept 1 2024), the exchange range is almost up to 20 pesos to 1 USD. The plot thickens...

Thank you.

Where are you guys?? No videos for 9 months. Your ok right??

Pricing of cost of living

FFS Going to a muslim country and be surprised that there is a call to prayer? Then to say it’s not a problem and continue to winge about the “noise” it makes. Wake up.

Cancun makes many people sick

So where did you decide to retire to? Also, where you been?

I think the ac is something that you can take care yourself. Also, the mosquitos 😂

Turkey is absolutely a heaving mess at the moment - would not recommend AT ALL

As a Turk, after I retire, I am unable to live on my pension even in the remotest part of Africa. I cannot even buy the material to commit suicide in Turkey or in all European/Asian/American countries. consider yourself lucky.

I’m planning on retiring in Türkiye in the next 7 years. Learning Turkish. Great video ❤

Living in the Middle East , I found the call to prayer the most beautiful sound ❤❤❤

Parque Jaurez is a great park!

Retire in Turkey? Why?

Haha! Funny that you guys mentioned the prayers. Even some locals find it so loud. 😂

TipTopTurkey and Commenters say prices have skyrocketed now, especially for medical assistance, unfortunately.

Do you happen to know does Turkey tax North Americans on their pensions, retirement income, etc?

Where did you get cash, atm ?

I am now looking at Panama. I dislike humidity, but Boquette and mountain areas are less humid. Just have to get pets there.

I am interested in Baja California. Supposedly there are cheap housing options still to be had.

The aggressiveness comes from having to fight to survive in almost any arena. Foreigners born into this would be exactly the same imo 🌸[New Zealander living in Turkey]

I'm American and live in Turkey for 20 years you forgot one thing the Turkish people I have never in 20 years have a Turkish person be rude to me the People Are Awesome and this is very low crime rate in Turkey and the con is the Turkish drivers or a joke very dangerous drivers here😂

In Turkey you can find all kind of vitamins at pharmacies and also food from other countries at big supermarkets like Migros and Macro center. There is also international cusine but you have to know where to go. Especially in Istanbul and Ankara you can find everything.

Okay how much is rent for western style. Is it 1500. 2000? 3000?

It’s probably getting cheaper to live in Italy or Greece

Very low property taxes in Mexico allows larger more opulent homes to be built. Many retirees do not.speak Spanish and if they do, it is what they learned taking Spanish Language lessons. They really can't discuss many subjects in the language. I speak French and some Spanish, but would like living in SM because of my lack of fluent Spanish. Also the health care system in Mexico for private health care is good. If there is less or no crime in SM,, then that is also a win. These are very scary times in Q3 2024. Many move out of USA due to violence, crime and cost of living. I am considering SM as I do not want to be caught in any of France's wars or hate groups.

There is still very affordable housing in Mexico .The issue is if you move to a area with many expats you are going to pay more .Example Ajijic and lake Chapala is a very popular area with Americans and Canadians among other expats so the prices are somewhat high ,just drive about 15 -20 minutes away and your price will drop significantly and you will still be near the lake just at another part of the lake .Mexico is full of great deals you just might have to live along side locals instead of expats.

Same in eastern Europe - smiling and chatting with strangers is not normal. Re: call to prayer - unlike in Malaysia the call to prayer is rather sweet and non-electronic (human). Where I stayed in Kadiikoy, Istanbul, the Adhan was seldom too loud for comfort (though it does blare in nearby Iskandar). Turkey is more secular than many other Muslim countries. Turkey is *not* the Middle East, neither geographically nor culturally. In fact, due to refugee immigration from Syria and for historical reasons, there is some animosity between Arabs and Turks. I spend four months in Turkey in 2021 and am keen to return. But you 'scared' me a bit by hearing that Istanbul is very busy now. During COVID, I found it quiet. Yes, a long and varied history. Regarding vegetarians, lacto-vegetarians will do fine *for breakfast only*. Vegans will have challenges.

Hard… Pass…

The problem is you can't live your life in Mexico like in the USA where you go out to eat anywhere and have no problems with intestinal infections. I lived in Mexico for 3 years and I always had issues with intestinal infections like amoebas, giardia, salmonella, etc. etc. I never went more than a month without getting something. It is sad because I love Mexico. It could be different for other people however I know there are parasite issues with the food and food handling because other people had the same problem. It is not just Montezuma's revenge it is parasites and bacteria. I wanted to retire in Mexico however this problem has stopped me.

What other country you lookin at?

If you have savings in USD and want to settle in Mexico, it makes more sense. Not if you're earning in Mexican Peso's.

This is what happens when lazy people who don't want to work come at realization.They can't afford to live unless they work! If you can't afford to live in Mexico.Good luck living anywhere else in the world. I guess you could go to Thailand or somewhere like that.Where it's a little cheaper than mexico a good luck with that. I suggest a wife.Stop being a so-called artist and go get a damn job.Maybe then you could afford to live...
