    Congrats! June 2025, I'm getting married to my girlfriend from Chihuahua and doing the permanent move to Mazatlan. I've been living 5 months out of the year since early 2023 in Mexico. I've never felt so happy in my life. I've been exploring Mexico as well as Central/South America mostly Colombia and one thing that I've learned while being there is that you don't need material things or chase luxury to be happy. Living a simple life, having coffee in the morning and being able to talk to locals and laugh a bit is what my life is all about. People are very simple and loving in MX. I've been working very hard while preparing in the US, I don't leave my apartment so I can save and thankfully cause of that I've paid off and cancelled all my US credit cards, I'm debt free and feels amazing.
    I have a huge advantage since my native language is Spanish so I blend in just fine but still cultural differences are something to adapt. I'm hopefully applying for citizenship two years after living married, then will buy property with my future wife. Raising my future family in a traditional mindset and avoid wokeness is a huge key factor on my decision to move. Amazing future ahead. Take care and Enjoy!
    Never thought the grass was way greener on the other side of the fence 🥰

    Wow, I can totally relate to your experience! Being married to a Mexican has been such a beautiful journey for me too. Like you, I was embraced by my husband’s family and friends, which inspired me to learn more about Mexico and its culture. It’s deepened our connection and made our bond so much stronger. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Mexicans love when you genuinely appreciate and respect their culture-there’s so much more to it than the stereotypes and caricatures we often see!
    We’re currently living between Australia and and Mexico, so looking forward to coming to the home of soul.
    If anyone here in the comments wants to chat more about navigating the cultural side of things or need some tips, I’d love to help❤

Most tourism here is native Spanish speakers and true full time foreign residents are scarce. When one goes to take the written drivers test there are a number of flags one can click on for any number of languages, with nothing to do with retirees.

Better health care system, food is better, not too many psycho people. I miss having a personal driver in Mexico, something that I can not afford in the USA, even if my salary is high here in the USA. Taxes in the USA are superhigh and for nothing.
