Si claro!

Gracias! Glad it could help you!

I agree. I had to redo the laces when I arrived home.

Yeah, not a fan of chicken feet. But I used buy them for my dog. She loved them.

Exactly! I can't imagine what the cost in California now.

Thank you for your comment. I respectfully disagree. My videos do not glamorize moving to Mexico like some RUclipsrs. I do not sell any service or product to expats. Most of my viewers already live in Mexico. I have a Mexican girlfriend. Live in a modest home in a fracc with no other foreigners. I shop and eat where locals do. I encourage other foreigners to integrate into Mexican society and not live around other expats. My videos are a way to show expats how to live like locals and not drive up the prices. If you have ideas for videos I should make; then please make suggestions. Regards, Troy

@@SilverFoxinMexico-lx5sm any places youre scared to go because youre a foreigner?

Hi. No, my name is not Dave.

@waynevandermeer3050 Vasco de Quiroga is right next door to the Church of Immaculate Conception. I believe it's smaller than Mercado Independencia

@waynevandermeer3050 it's illegal for a permanent resident to drive a foreign plated car. That's why many people elect to get the temporary Residency even though they qualify for permanent. The police can and will confiscate the car.

Si Claro!😂

I drove by that location yesterday and the car was still there!

Thank you!

James, welcome to Mexico. I am currently in Morelia for 5 weeks or so. Then I will return to Queretaro. You can find my email in the about section of my channel. Send me an email and we can start communicating that way. Are you on Facebook? If so, I recommend finding the "Queretaro Expats" group. Lots of good people in that group. What neighborhood are you living in?

@@ВикторияДанилова-г2к they are very cute!!

The budget in my video does not include discretionary spending. For example, eating at restaurants or traveling. I didn't include these categories because each person has different tastes and spending habits. I know expats that spend at least $1k usd per month in alcohol and expensive restaurants. I occasionally have a beer and eat where the locals eat. I will make a video showing a few restaurants where I eat and the costs. Also, utilities and rent are very inexpensive compared to the US or Canada...as long as you stay away from the large expat areas.

@ honestly my biggest concerns would be costs for healthcare reasons. I do not travel too much and prefer cooking at home. I’ve been researching several countries to see how cost of living and lifestyle is. Very interesting.

Did you see my video about my medical experiences in Mexico? I plan to interview a health insurance professional in the new years. It seems like lots of expats are concerned about health costs in Mexico

Look forward to hearing about your healthcare experience. Mine was quite frustrating!

@@jamesaquino9439 what happened??

You are correct. If you are talking about closed captioning or subtitles; that's done automatically by RUclips. If you're talking by about my pronunciation...yeah, sometimes it just comes out of my mouth wrong. 😂

Thank you. I think that is a common sentiment for people who live in Mexico. The cost of living is a major reason why people like it here. The US is probably just as expensive as Canada. I have met quite a few Canadians in Queretaro and a couple in Morelia. The year round climate in better in this area than Puerta Vallarta.

I didn't show it; because I don't have health insurance, I self insure. I made a video about my medical bills in Mexico. For example, one visit to the hospital with x-rays and outpatient surgery cost me $32 usd. I eat a healthy diet with no additives or preservatives, unlike the US where almost all the has chemicals and poisons added.

@@SilverFoxinMexico-lx5sm Yes, but it's a critical factor because if you have an accident, a heart attack or blockage the bills are huge (not as bad as the US, but huge). I had a friend get Covid in SMA and it was $800 for a 4 day stay without insurance.

@@justjg Insurance is just a transfer of risk. Currently, I find the risk of no insurance in Mexico acceptable to me. That 4 day hospital in the states would cost on average $40,000. The average US deductible is $5,000. Plus the monthly insurance premium. The average premium for my age in the states is $900/month. So a person would be out of pocket a minimum of $5,900 I rarely get sick. Other people should probably have health insurance in Mexico. Maybe I will buy some in the future I was treated for Covid in Mexico with homeopathic medicine. (with Drugs you cannot get in the states.) My total cost was about $200.

That's a great question! I will make a video on why I love Morelia. The short answer is I was living in Queretaro and met a Mexican woman from Morelia. We started dating so I moved to Morelia to be with her.

I will try to do a walk and talk video in Morelia Centro or one of the main avenues this week

The man did a great job. Next time I want to find a shoe shiner who uses the lighter method.

@ like we did in military

@@waynevandermeer3050 Exactly!

The men set up in La Plaza de Armas

30 Mexican pesos is $1.48 at today's exchange rate. I was the only customer that tipped him.

@@SilverFoxinMexico-lx5smwow I’m surprised they still charge 30 pesos, is the same price as 10 years ago

@@35rebeldes I was actually surprised how low the cost. The man was wearing a shirt from the Morelia Municipality; so maybe the city regulates what they can charge.

It is colonia Ventura Puente. We go to a pet shop in that area.

@ I’ll be back soon and this time I’m checking out all the colonias.

@waynevandermeer3050 i know. Morelia has so many interesting colonias

Me encanta Morelia!

Si, I am back in Morelia for 5-6 weeks.

She is very talented. I really enjoyed her singing

I agree. I see the sellers everyday at major intersections. But this seller was on a major highway in the middle of nowhere.

Ya cruzaron los de Tijuana o que 🤣

@@ramonibarra6344 Debe ser! 🤣

Thanks! Yes, I can convert in January 2026. Hooray!

QRO is a small airport. The last time I flew there; they had just 2 immigration lines. It didn't matter which one you got in. I handed the officer my temporary residence card and my passport. She reviewed them and handed them back. Customs is one single line. You collect your bags. Then the military tells you to press a button which gives you a green or red light. If you get a red light, they search your luggage. It's actually fairly simple

It is sad. Corporate profits are more important than the American people.

why do you think it is the greatest country, when just getting ill bankrupts most Americans?

Were you in Puebla? How much would the medicine cost in the US?

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I would imagine your co-pay or deductible would be way more than $1,000.

Yeah, most medical issues in the US are solved with pills. I had migraines for 20 years and never had a US doctor order a test to find out why. Just a prescription.

The owner of the dog was a retired American. So I could confirm the dog had its Rabie shots. The doctor did ask if the dog had all of its shots.

@@SilverFoxinMexico-lx5sm Phew! 🙂

Interesting, I have not seen pharmacies in Walmart or Soriana, where I am. Farmacia Guadalajara is everywhere though.

Curious if the Sam's Clubs in Mexico have Pharmacies like here in the States. Being a Sam's Club Plus Member, don't pay for Tier 1 (blood pressure meds, antibiotics etc..) Have gone to the hospital in Mexico a couple of times.....Great Medical Service and prices. But even when I move down permanently don't think I will give up my US coverage

@@tomm9540 Good question. I don't have a Sam's Club membership; so I don't know if they have pharmacies. I know that their is a Sam's Club in Queretaro. The Walmart's that I have been in do not have pharmacies. Honestly, there are pharmacies everywhere in major Mexico cities. Lots of competition, so my guess is the big box chains do not offer this service

I am currently in Morelia, but I am moving back to Queretaro in January.

What area of Mexico are you in? In Queretaro, I was charged 50 mxn at a pharmacy doctor.

It is a wreck. I am so glad I left that system. It's ridiculous that a person needs to see a doctor every month to obtain a piece of paper that permits them to buy a necessary drug, a total scam.

@@SilverFoxinMexico-lx5sm I actually have an appt today to see my doctor so that I can continue to receive my statins which we all know are prescribed for life.

@@darylfortney8081 I'm sorry that you still need to see the doctor for that kind of drug. Are you exploring a move to Mexico?

@ not necessarily Mexico but just anywhere else

A customer cured is a customer lost

Thank you! I glad you found it useful!

That's awesome! Thanks! I'm coming back to Queretaro next month.

Hi, fees will vary by your individual circumstance and location in Mexico. I have seen fees range from 4,000MXN to 12,000 MXN. Complicated cases involving an immigration lawyer will be more.

Hi, I went obtained my temporary residency visa thru the Detroit Consulate. I just looked at their website. They do not require a retirement letter. Here is a link to their website: consulmex.sre.gob.mx/detroit/index.php/visas-and-other-information-for-foreigners/visas-en-ingles. Consulates may have different requirements. For example, Seattle has a reputation for asking for additional requirements. Find the consulate that meets your needs. Detroit and Las Vegas are pretty easy. I wouldn't use a consulate that is asking for things you can't get or don't have.

@@SilverFoxinMexico-lx5sm When I did my Mexican Permanent Residency Process in the US, they did not require a Retirement Letter, however I did have a copy of my Retirement ID.

@@tomm9540 To my knowledge, Detroit does not require the letter. They look at the bank statements primarily.

Thank so much!

Thank you for the words of wisdom!

My dog passed away last March due to cancer. I wasn't ready to get a new one. My girlfriend thought a couple of bunnies would help. Plus her daughter loves them!
