Mexico is like a brother you didn't know you had. You discover it, saves you when you need it, takes you on adventures, hears you out, understands you, and welcomes you when you need it. Mexico always says Mi Casa Es Tu Casa.
Well said, beautifully phrased. And exactly the way I feel about Mexico... the country that will embrace me when my own country doesn't really seem to give a damn...
I am one of those single divorced baby boomers that is going to be moving to Mexico in the next several months. I was astonished that there are so many of us. But you were also spot on I am going to be able to retire way earlier and with a much better lifestyle than my contemporaries. Great info...thanks for the research.
How much does the average baby boomer have in savings? According to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, the estimated median retirement savings for Baby Boomer is $202,000. Based on the 4% Rule, this would yield an annual retirement income of $8,000 per year.Apr 10, 2022
I cannot help but wonder how Violence in America has affected the migration of Americans to Mexico, Indeed there are quite a few financial refugees in Mexico, stay safe, Regards From South Texas
Hmm its possible but i would guess that is very low on people’s reasoning. Im thinking great mexican culture, better cost of living, more sun shine... (winter can be terrible for some lol) an adventure a get away
@@TheCollegeMuscle : I agree with you 100%. It wasn't finances that drew us to retire in Mexico. The cost of living is only one factor, but the better lifesty6le, warm hospitality of Mexicans, weather and that we could no longer relate or accept the culture & lifestyle in the United States, got us to Mexico.
If violence were my number one concern, I'd go to Costa Rica (outside of San Jose) or Chile to retire if it's going to be in Latin America. Or Merida. I think a lot of gringos in Mexico feel very safer than they might otherwise because they don't understand the news and don't keep up with what's going on. I'd agree that gringos are very rarely targeted for violence in Mexico but for the average Mexican living in certain areas the issue is very real and tragic.
Where are the top five spots for expats in Mexico? Where are the best five best cities for the internet and infrastructure in which an expat would live there?
Wendell, our survey of people who want to move to Mexico found these top five destinations: Puerto Vallarta, Lake Chapala, Los Cabos, Cancún and Mérida. Our survey of expats living in Mexico, found they lived in: Lake Chapala, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlán and tied for fifth place were Mérida, Los Cabos and Guanajuato. You can find out more at www.expatsinmexico.com.
After 13 years at Lake Chaqpala, the biggest asset in living there is to "divorce" oneself of the bad living habits found north of the border. The folks who seem happiest here are those who adapt to the Mexican lifestyle and immerse themselves as much as possible into the customs and traditions of Mexico. Become what I call an American-Mexican and not limit yourself to expat activities.
Internet and infrastructure are always best in urban areas of Mexico. Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, etc. Queretaro is a place that you don't hear much about as a retirement spot but is excellent for both.
Hey! I am a college educated retired single female baby boomer living in Mexico who retired early at 56! This interview is spot on! 🌞🍹🙎♀️🇲🇽🌴🎉
Nice at what age did you move there? What part? Are you of mexican decent? Family there?

I think the amount he stated was under $10k USD. Thats quite different from 202k.
All the good times are south of the wall. I like the title of your book.
Agree. Living now in our 13th year in Mexico.
So single divorced WOMEN moving to mexico, and single divorced older MEN moving to philippines to hook up with a much younger female lol
