8 months ago, I watched your video and it triggered a thought. After hours of researching and two visits to Mexico, I am retiring (early) in Mexico as of ~April 2023. Thank you Rose!
Dude the viiiibes!!! I don’t know if it’s because the food quality is trash in America, but just breathing the air in Mexico feels better to me. I just see more smiles here than anywhere else.

I visited Mexico City in Dec, and I speak minimal Spanish. I have to say it is pretty difficult to communicate without Spanish. You might meet that one or two youngish person who understands English but besides that it’s important to know how to speak Spanish to get around.
I loved my trip to Mexico City years back, for many of the same reasons you mentioned. It’s validating to see that a practically minded person agrees with me. It seems like a well kept secret! Have fun in your time there!
I recall in one of your other vlogs about geoarbitrage--retirees who find it difficult to get by where they lived and move to a foreign country. Not saying you're a retiree, but to go somewhere else where you can live (and not survive) is a good move for what you mentioned. Cheaper cost of living, less stress and close to home are all excellent reasons to begin a new life. And if things change moving back isn't a problem. At least you gave it a chance. For me, I am retiring this year and moving to the Philippines. To prepare I made sure my passport is current, I opened up a Charles Schwab account (they don't charge ATM fees when you're in a foreign country) and I let go of things I couldn't take with me that would hold me back. Keep us updated and enjoy the opportunities life has to offer.
Congrats Rose! Please post more about buying property, process and selections there. Keep those videos coming sometimes a vlog break from investing in this market is a good reset.

CONGRATS on a new chapter in your life. Do show us more of Mexico City.... the people, the sights, the culture, the food, stuffs they do there for leisure and relaxation. God bless you and keep you and your dog safe always.
Rose. I am happy to see your happy in Mexico. My parents retired in jilotipec Mexico, I remember visiting them for ten years which they enjoyed the plaza and the slow life. It’s as beautiful.. thanks again…
I'm a New Yorker, born and raised, and while I don't want to leave now, I definitely rather retire somewhere else. Like out of the country. The high costs of homes, rent and crappy health care system are reasons alone to leave. I'm also single, no kids and rather have fun and travel now while I can. Wish you so much luck!
Hi Rose! Glad to hear you are having a great experience in CDMX. I have a couple of questions about living there: 1. How safe do you feel on the streets/train? Women being kidnapped in Mexico isn’t uncommon. 2. How is the political scene? I heard the President isn’t too great (the US had its history with not so great presidents either) 3. Do you think some vendors have sold their products to you at a higher price just because you’re a foreigner ? If anyone else have answers to these questions, feel free to reply!
As long as you stay away from Iztapalapa, Neza and Ecatepec you will be fine, specially if you stay in the nice locations that Rose is describing (Polanco, Del Valle, Condesa, Roma and several others).
Thanks Karen! 1. In most of the neighborhoods, I feel very safe. Although I don't walk alone on the streets after midnight, and always take precautions when it's dark (looking around, being aware of surroundings, avoiding dark isolated streets). 2. Indeed the political scene is not that different from the U.S., albeit way more corrupt. Lots of people don't like the President right now. He's a populist and like in many other countries, there's a lot of room for improvement. 3. I've experienced this in other countries, like in Kenya, but not here. Most things have a sticker price anyway. And street vendors haven't marked up their prices to me because they charge the same to locals... at least as far as I can tell
Beware of earthquakes in Mexico City. It was built over an ancient lake bed, so shaking is amplified. So many buildings simply fell in the last recent earthquake.
Indeed - you need to be careful of what building you decide to live in. If it's earthquake-safe, you're going to be ok. Unfortunately when Mother Nature chooses to strike, it's completely out of our hands, wherever you live.
@keith you should search for Chile's earth quakes, the ones in Mexico city are NOTHING compare to Chile but the funny thing is that the constructions in Chile are so safe that people at airports restaurants and coffee shops don't even bother to evacuate the places and just try make sure their coffee doesn't spill with the strong Earth movements 🤣🤣🤣
So glad you and Jupiter are happy and flourishing in Mexico Rose. Wonderful video with insightful information on the country. Great to see wonderful things unfolding in your path.
I hope you end up liking it in Mexico City long term. It would be good to create content about the trade off of moving from the US to Mexico. This video only looks at the good you see in Mexico, but there’s always a trade off. Another commenter already mentioned safety so I won’t go too deep into it. As a single child-free woman, I’d like to see content about safety considerations. I don’t like all-rosie content because that’s not real life. As a latina who moved to the US, my financial freedom includes having a nice place in the US with lots of safety. I rooted my whole life in the pursue of safety.
Congrats! I love that you've taken the leap and wish you all the best! I've been looking at Mexico City and can't wait to here more about your house purchase!
Congrats Rose, Mexico City sounds perfect! I’m glad you’re enjoying life on your terms. Wishing you the best cause’ you deserve it girl! 😊 Looking forward to your new videos.
Congratulations on this chapter of your life, Rose! 🤗 Mexico 🇲🇽 is on my list of places to visit. I came back from Panama 🇵🇦 last month and was amazed at how walkable and diverse Panama City is - and literally a hot version of NYC or Toronto 😆. Are you planning to RV through Mexican national parks? Looking forward to videos on acquiring a home outside of America because I’m ready for a permanent expat life. Stay safe 🙏🏾
Great video Rose and I totally agree with you, living here in the US blowing your wealth or a mortgage is not the American dream. Plus the weather blows unless I'm back home in San Diego which is too expensive, why I left. I've been considering Mexico (I've lived there before) and Asia. Quality of life, being happy, decent weather and saving a lot of money are important to me. Thanks again!
Love to hear that you moved to my City! I am sure you are going to love it! Also, looking forward to your video on how foreigners can purchase a home since my Dutch husband is looking to do the same. All the best to you!
Rose, great to see you back and it sounds like you've made a great choice. All the best in this new adventure! Looking forward to hearing more about it going forward.
Hello Rose, your channel has been major for me. You taught me financial knowledge when I needed to learn about it most. Watching this video made me very happy. I love your 8 reasons and enjoyed the smoothness of your transitions, was it a blur and a wipe effect? Anyway, I too am engaging in living my life the way I want too rather then the expectations set for me. You seem to be at a beautiful vibration and frequency and I'm excited to watch your vlogs and other videos you post. Thank you!
Great video! Look forward to hearing one on buying in Mexico. Would also love to hear about safety there. I visited with a boyfriend six years ago and even with him we were concerned about safety, taxis, even police can be corrupt there. But maybe it’s changed since then. Please be careful.
Congrats Rose! It's wonderful that you found an exciting place to "settle" down. I was shocked that you said you were kind of a home body but you can still be that and enjoy the outdoors too. 😉 I wish only the best for you and hope the things you seek you will find. 💯
Rose I liked you for your van traveling, loved you for options trading, and now this. Spectacular! Please keep us updated on Mexico City and all it offers. I would love to visit with my wife. Stay well!
I'm so excited for you Rose! MEXICO IS SO FUN. Suggestion for you next video that would be maybe help some of your viewers. I'm American with Mexican parents, during the pandemic I started the process of dual citizenship to buy land over there. Maybe you can add that in your video just a thought to compare and contrast. Can't wait to here more about your adventure.
I'm from Mexico and so happy people from all over the world want to live in mexico . I own a house in Michoacan but I live in the USA right now but eventually I want to move back and enjoy my retirement.
Oh HELL YES I love Mexico City, I would love to move there myself! Don't feel bad about not uploading enough or changing your content style - I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say your videos are great, it's awesome to hear what you've been up to, and your videos are always amazing when they drop. Have fun down there!
After speaking with tons of locals the other day, I want to move to Mexico City myself! Especially coming from San Francisco, completely understand what you are saying! haha
Just found your channel you are very delightful.i went to college in Mex city my dream was to move to Mexico.i finally did in my 60s.i moved to lake chapala.i love it but am thinking of going to Mexico city or mazatlán.i am way older than you and everyone thinks it's crazy talk i like your comments you cover a lot of topics really well thank you so much!
It's nice but as a foreigner with extreme financial wealth, moving to a city with low cost of living is overall hell to the locals because of gentrification. The dollar is worth significantly more in Mexico and if more foreigners move there, it'll drive up prices and turn it into a touristy area effectively pushing out all the locals that live there.
I have to agree. And the fact that she is spreading the idea of gentrification in Mexico City on such a large platform is worrying. Mexico City is already experiencing crazy rising rents because of so many digital nomads taking over the city (esp during the pandemic), and spreading awareness and encouraging others (other Americans) to gentrify Mexico is troubling.
Living in Mexico City is expensive not because of foreigners but because a lack of housing. I'm almost sure that any property she buys is out of the range of what most people in Mexico City can afford. Foreigners are not displacing anyone.
Gentrification is an issue, but I don't think that the city has enough foreigner to do that, airbnb is probably worse. The only issue I have with foreigners is that sometimes they don't pay income taxes. Like at least pay your taxes if you are gonna live here, it's not like you can't afford it.
Congrats, Rose! I love the Spanish language too and it's so awesome that you get to live somewhere you like where you can speak the language. Mexico City sounds great!
Be very cautious. You advertise your wealth and solo living status. Do not advertise your location. I was raised in Latin America and despite security, we had break-ins. It was wonderful, and I'd do it again, just would stay in a gated building with security if single.
Hi Rose! Great video. You should make a video explaining taxes for online entrepreneurs? Are you paying taxes in the US and Mexico? How does that work when having an online business? Keep up the great work.
I did the same thing 20 years ago in Mexico. Muchos recuerdos! I will never forget the experience and you will not either. It changes you in a good way. 👍 I'm studying for the S7 now and it reminds me of when I was studying Los verbos en Español Lol
Though I would consider Mexico City as a destination for retiring, the biggest issue is safety, definitely. Not only drug cartels and also criminal bands all around, but even the Police is very corrupt. I can tell, I am from Latin America, and sadly, that is the reality. I would be extremely cautious. BTW, glad to hear she is willing to speak Spanish and become totally fluent.
Why do so many people from the United States worry about safety in Mexico when we have mass shootings on a daily basis? Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we've had over 140 freeway shootings in the past year!! I hope I can avoid getting shot here in the USA long enough to retire to the safety of Mexico. Since I personally don't plan to do business with cartels, report news on cartels, or run for office to stamp out cartels, I think I'll be just fine living a low profile life in Mexico
@@rhyslud I can't speak for people living in the US because I don't live there. I can assure you that I spoke with few people from Mexico who left their country because of lack of safety. I tend to believe them.
As a Mexican who can't avoid the news of violence, militarization, and "feminicidios" in MX I have to say my mind was blown when I saw the title lol just different perspectives! Happy that you're happy Rose
The worst nation to be a women in, is the USA. Militarization is just gringo, or wannabe gringos propaganda... Mexico is no where near as dangerous as the USA. ..back when Mexico was at its worst (Calderon/Obama era), Mexico was still no where near as bad as the USA.
You should cover some of the downsides like having to get a temporary import permit to drive your car in certain areas, and automatically going to jail if you are involved in a vehicle accident, and paying huge import taxes when you enter Mexico with a computer, and paying enormous fines for exceeding duty free limits on things like cigarettes, and how foreigners can't buy property near the ocean or the border, etc., etc.
We are planning to retire outside the USA and I have been watching hundreds of hours of RUclips on the subject. One thing every experienced expat says is WAIT to buy property. Make absolutely certain you really like it. We plan to spend a month or two in our top choices (in Mexico, that's CDMX, Queretaro, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí, Ensenada and Chapala that last is just because we're old farts). Then we'll rent for a year before we buy. Anyway don't be in a rush. We have a lot less time left than you and we are in no hurry. I hear it is a lot more difficult to sell a property in Mexico if you change your mind. I know that hard assets are going to be a good place to store wealth for the foreseeable future. I bought a rental in affordable El Paso TX. last year. For that reason.
LOVE Mexico City sooooo much!! Can’t wait to hear about buying property there as I plan to one day as well! I’m also living in Mexico (queretaro currently) and it has been so good for my soul too!! And I agree, Mexico is so dog friendly.. my pup can go almost anywhere with me! In love with Mexico period. ☺️🥰🥰
@@nsanenthembrane i love it! i lived in Mexico City for 2 months as well and loved it and would like to go back but I've got a good thing going on here right now as well. :)
Thanks for sharing! I went to the Yucatan towns (Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Tulum) and Mexico City to see about buying a place. I'd have to sell my house in the US first, so will go back in a few months, but want to check out the West coast of Mexico too before committing. I loved the vibe in Roma and Condesa, but really didn't like the air pollution or noise (loud cars and motorcycles). I got sick from the water there, in spite of being careful. I wasn't careful enough!
I can understand wanting to buy your own place in Mexico City but there are issues on transferring property to family after you die. I’m planning on retiring there too but my plan is to rent instead of buying but keeping my property in San Diego. I’m only a 3 hour flight away from San Diego and the flights are inexpensive if you fly into Tijuana and then walk across through the airport CBX. Another consideration is healthcare. If you get cancer or some other serious illness you can fly yourself back the same day. United States is more advanced in cancer as well as other illnesses. Also renting is cheaper and if you get tired and need a change of scenery you can move to other parts of Mexico for a few months.
Thanks for sharing! I have been planning a move to Puerto Vallarta next year and eventually buying a condo. I am from Houston so hopefully the heat and humidity won’t be too overwhelming.
A friend of mine lived there for a year. He loved it, but moved back to Thailand. I think he does marketing, so can live anywhere. Originally a New Yorker. Hope it works out for you!
I recently saw a video on Vice or something similar that many Americans are moving to Mexico due to the high cost of living specially in Cali. Same, with Portugal. Cost of living is getting out of hand in the states.
You're making me want to go there...I have 8yrs till retirement...I will be 55 n will probably retire on 3k a month...I need to go someplace like that or I will have to continue to work in the U.S
Show us the van life in Mexico! There is some really beautiful geography in that region. Also the bird migrations from North to Central America. Such a beautiful country.
It's beautiful indeed. As of now, no plans to bring the van down to Mexico. Only plane ride trips - headed to a beach town called Puerto Escondido this weekend in fact!
I’ve always wanted to move to Mexico. Currently working my way to financial freedom to make my move 🤩 keep posting your experience!! I need all the tea 🫖 lol
congrats rose, my country is beautiful and people is very kind, i recommend you la feria de san marcos, in aguascalientes ,is in my city in april, every year
Very interesting. My parents are from a small town 1hr away from Guadalajara. I’ve never been to Mexico City. Seeing this video makes me want to go see the city side of Mexico. Great vid.
I love your bright-eyed, bushy-tailed enthusiasm! Don’t lose that. Be cautious, however, about being out at night, the clothing and jewelry you wear when you’re out, and going into the places in town that are not so nice. Most of the tourist Mexico City is an island surrounded by an ocean of crime, corruption, and death. Those of us that know, know. Be safe…
Good for you Rose - I just drove all of baja to Los Cabos and back to Cali putting in my papers for dual citizenship so I can buy property down there 😀 moms is so pissed they came from Mexico 🇲🇽 and worked so hard -just so I would go back but like you said gotta live life on your own terms. Looking to retire early and do some living not just working for a living.
I've been living in Puerto Escondido for the last 3 years and just left - but I might very well be back soon haha - and I LOVE Mexico City and could definitely see myself living there for a bit but I'm not sure about the pollution / traffic / weather haha
Congratz Rose! It sounds like you've started a new adventure in your life...and you're totally jazzed about it. Wish you the best! (From one of your students)

Would love to hear how you feel about the overall safety in Mexico City and traveling as a solo female! Thank you!
Yes, I’m very nervous for her. She shouldn’t share her personal details on how she’s staying safe though.
THIS was also my first question.
Safety???
Prob less mass shootings than the states
Mexico City is super safe for solo or non-solo make and females. I’ve live here for 6 months and I’ve never had any issue or incident.
Solo? I thought she was married ?
So happy for you! I just got a job with a global company and thinking of working from Mexico City in January and February. Hope to see you there! 😊

Don't feel bad about not uploading enough or changing your content style - I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say your videos are great, it's awesome to hear what you've been up to, and your videos are always amazing when they drop. Have fun down there!
Thank you, that means a lot to me!! And yes you should totally move here :)
Everyday I’m dreaming about going back to my home country and live slow. As an immigrant I can see the life outside the box and it’s beautiful 😍
After speaking with tons of locals the other day, I want to move to Mexico City myself! Especially coming from San Francisco, completely understand what you are saying! haha
Just found your channel you are very delightful.i went to college in Mex city my dream was to move to Mexico.i finally did in my 60s.i moved to lake chapala.i love it but am thinking of going to Mexico city or mazatlán.i am way older than you and everyone thinks it's crazy talk i like your comments you cover a lot of topics really well thank you so much!
I can’t believe u said “b” word 2:00 … lol ,
Best of luck,
Congratulations Rose wish you the best. 🇲🇽 Mexico is a great place.
Lots of people are moving over there. Crazy, for years people thought CDMX was scary
It's nice but as a foreigner with extreme financial wealth, moving to a city with low cost of living is overall hell to the locals because of gentrification. The dollar is worth significantly more in Mexico and if more foreigners move there, it'll drive up prices and turn it into a touristy area effectively pushing out all the locals that live there.
I have to agree. And the fact that she is spreading the idea of gentrification in Mexico City on such a large platform is worrying. Mexico City is already experiencing crazy rising rents because of so many digital nomads taking over the city (esp during the pandemic), and spreading awareness and encouraging others (other Americans) to gentrify Mexico is troubling.
Living in Mexico City is expensive not because of foreigners but because a lack of housing. I'm almost sure that any property she buys is out of the range of what most people in Mexico City can afford. Foreigners are not displacing anyone.
Gentrification is an issue, but I don't think that the city has enough foreigner to do that, airbnb is probably worse. The only issue I have with foreigners is that sometimes they don't pay income taxes. Like at least pay your taxes if you are gonna live here, it's not like you can't afford it.
I’m happy for you Rose. I’m glad you are making progress my friend. Keep up the great work!
Congrats, Rose! I love the Spanish language too and it's so awesome that you get to live somewhere you like where you can speak the language. Mexico City sounds great!
Be very cautious. You advertise your wealth and solo living status. Do not advertise your location. I was raised in Latin America and despite security, we had break-ins. It was wonderful, and I'd do it again, just would stay in a gated building with security if single.
I would love to move to Mexico City but I value my life and not being kidnapped a little higher than cheap leaving
Hi Rose!
Great video. You should make a video explaining taxes for online entrepreneurs?
Are you paying taxes in the US and Mexico? How does that work when having an online business?
Keep up the great work.
It is great to know that you like Mexico city, you seem very happy and excited about this amazing move. Great job again rose on this great video.
I did the same thing 20 years ago in Mexico. Muchos recuerdos! I will never forget the experience and you will not either. It changes you in a good way. 👍 I'm studying for the S7 now and it reminds me of when I was studying Los verbos en Español
Lol
Though I would consider Mexico City as a destination for retiring, the biggest issue is safety, definitely. Not only drug cartels and also criminal bands all around, but even the Police is very corrupt. I can tell, I am from Latin America, and sadly, that is the reality. I would be extremely cautious. BTW, glad to hear she is willing to speak Spanish and become totally fluent.
I was so surprised she didn't anything about this very important topic.
Why do so many people from the United States worry about safety in Mexico when we have mass shootings on a daily basis? Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we've had over 140 freeway shootings in the past year!! I hope I can avoid getting shot here in the USA long enough to retire to the safety of Mexico. Since I personally don't plan to do business with cartels, report news on cartels, or run for office to stamp out cartels, I think I'll be just fine living a low profile life in Mexico
@@rhyslud I can't speak for people living in the US because I don't live there. I can assure you that I spoke with few people from Mexico who left their country because of lack of safety. I tend to believe them.
I lived in Mexico City 2018-2021 and never had an issue with safety. Moving back in 2023. Btw I’m retired and a permanent resident.
If your not with expensive clothes, shoes, gold chains, Newest iphone, brand new car, there is nothing you should worry about. Be humble.
As a Mexican who can't avoid the news of violence, militarization, and "feminicidios" in MX I have to say my mind was blown when I saw the title lol just different perspectives! Happy that you're happy Rose
The worst nation to be a women in, is the USA. Militarization is just gringo, or wannabe gringos propaganda... Mexico is no where near as dangerous as the USA. ..back when Mexico was at its worst (Calderon/Obama era), Mexico was still no where near as bad as the USA.
As you know, kidnappings is low in Mex, but when it was high, still 15 times less kidnappings in Mexico than in the USA.
You should cover some of the downsides like having to get a temporary import permit to drive your car in certain areas, and automatically going to jail if you are involved in a vehicle accident, and paying huge import taxes when you enter Mexico with a computer, and paying enormous fines for exceeding duty free limits on things like cigarettes, and how foreigners can't buy property near the ocean or the border, etc., etc.
We are planning to retire outside the USA and I have been watching hundreds of hours of RUclips on the subject.
One thing every experienced expat says is WAIT to buy property. Make absolutely certain you really like it.
We plan to spend a month or two in our top choices (in Mexico, that's CDMX, Queretaro, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí, Ensenada and Chapala that last is just because we're old farts).
Then we'll rent for a year before we buy.
Anyway don't be in a rush. We have a lot less time left than you and we are in no hurry. I hear it is a lot more difficult to sell a property in Mexico if you change your mind.
I know that hard assets are going to be a good place to store wealth for the foreseeable future. I bought a rental in affordable El Paso TX. last year. For that reason.
Congrats Rose!
I would love to move to Mexico City one day. I visited two years ago and fell in love never felt happier and safer.
LOVE Mexico City sooooo much!! Can’t wait to hear about buying property there as I plan to one day as well! I’m also living in Mexico (queretaro currently) and it has been so good for my soul too!! And I agree, Mexico is so dog friendly.. my pup can go almost anywhere with me! In love with Mexico period. ☺️🥰🥰
How are you liking queretaro? I hear it’s safer and a little less crazy than Mexico City
@@nsanenthembrane i love it! i lived in Mexico City for 2 months as well and loved it and would like to go back but I've got a good thing going on here right now as well. :)
Thanks for sharing! I went to the Yucatan towns (Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Tulum) and Mexico City to see about buying a place. I'd have to sell my house in the US first, so will go back in a few months, but want to check out the West coast of Mexico too before committing. I loved the vibe in Roma and Condesa, but really didn't like the air pollution or noise (loud cars and motorcycles). I got sick from the water there, in spite of being careful. I wasn't careful enough!
Cool, Mexico City is good place to be. Sometimes it can be congested and the pollution is bad, but other than that it is really well connected.
I can understand wanting to buy your own place in Mexico City but there are issues on transferring property to family after you die. I’m planning on retiring there too but my plan is to rent instead of buying but keeping my property in San Diego. I’m only a 3 hour flight away from San Diego and the flights are inexpensive if you fly into Tijuana and then walk across through the airport CBX. Another consideration is healthcare. If you get cancer or some other serious illness you can fly yourself back the same day. United States is more advanced in cancer as well as other illnesses. Also renting is cheaper and if you get tired and need a change of scenery you can move to other parts of Mexico for a few months.
Way to go Rose!! Do your thing!! Live life, inhale and exhale. 🙏
Thanks for sharing! I have been planning a move to Puerto Vallarta next year and eventually buying a condo. I am from Houston so hopefully the heat and humidity won’t be too overwhelming.
A friend of mine lived there for a year. He loved it, but moved back to Thailand. I think he does marketing, so can live anywhere. Originally a New Yorker. Hope it works out for you!
Hello from Colorado! We are super expensive now! I do not blame you! I also want to get out!
Hi Rose my nephew also loves in Mexico. He works remotely and loves it there. So good choice.
I recently saw a video on Vice or something similar that many Americans are moving to Mexico due to the high cost of living specially in Cali. Same, with Portugal. Cost of living is getting out of hand in the states.
And they are pricing out the locals in Mexico,sadly . Where are the poor people supposed to go ?
@@leeche87 Yhea that was the news. Local people weren't happy because rent and price of a house has skyrocketed.
@@leeche87 So same that happened in NYC in the low income neighborhoods. It's happening everywhere, and homelessness is increasing. :(
Yesss Mexico is the bomb I moved to Tijuana and I’m in love with the city
Never been there! Lots of amazing places in Mexico to visit :)
Rose, I have been living in Denver , too, for so long. Love Mexico and am so envious. Buena suerte and keep us up-to-date on Mexico City life.
Thanks for sharing Rose was totally unaware of Mexico City!!!
I’m so happy for you! You are living my dream! Thank you so much for the video! It makes me happy!❤️
Congratulations rose!! You seem so happy and this is amazing.
Congrats Rose! I'm excited to hear about this next chapter. I want to leave the US too and will be watching the next video for sure!
You're making me want to go there...I have 8yrs till retirement...I will be 55 n will probably retire on 3k a month...I need to go someplace like that or I will have to continue to work in the U.S
You will be living like royalty in Mexico with that kind of income !!!!
3K is a ton in Mexico City, you would be rich.
Show us the van life in Mexico! There is some really beautiful geography in that region. Also the bird migrations from North to Central America. Such a beautiful country.
It's beautiful indeed. As of now, no plans to bring the van down to Mexico. Only plane ride trips - headed to a beach town called Puerto Escondido this weekend in fact!
Do cost of living please 🙏... more of it. Analysis of possible future cost.
Yeap more Mexico City vids coming soon :)
I’m in Canada and so sick of 6-7 months of snow every year so I am working towards saving enough money to get a temporary visa.
I’ve always wanted to move to Mexico. Currently working my way to financial freedom to make my move 🤩 keep posting your experience!! I need all the tea 🫖 lol
congrats rose, my country is beautiful and people is very kind, i recommend you la feria de san marcos, in aguascalientes ,is in my city in april, every year
Very interesting. My parents are from a small town 1hr away from Guadalajara. I’ve never been to Mexico City. Seeing this video makes me want to go see the city side of Mexico. Great vid.
I love your bright-eyed, bushy-tailed enthusiasm! Don’t lose that.
Be cautious, however, about being out at night, the clothing and jewelry you wear when you’re out, and going into the places in town that are not so nice.
Most of the tourist Mexico City is an island surrounded by an ocean of crime, corruption, and death. Those of us that know, know.
Be safe…
Good for you Rose - I just drove all of baja to Los Cabos and back to Cali putting in my papers for dual citizenship so I can buy property down there 😀 moms is so pissed they came from Mexico 🇲🇽 and worked so hard -just so I would go back but like you said gotta live life on your own terms. Looking to retire early and do some living not just working for a living.
We were just talking about moving to Mexico City. Thank you for putting this out Rose!
I've been living in Puerto Escondido for the last 3 years and just left - but I might very well be back soon haha - and I LOVE Mexico City and could definitely see myself living there for a bit but I'm not sure about the pollution / traffic / weather haha
Congratulations! So happy for you! Wish you all the best!
So impressed with your attitude and independence. Enjoy the beautiful life you are building for yourself. Looking forward to future updates. 😘
Congratz Rose! It sounds like you've started a new adventure in your life...and you're totally jazzed about it. Wish you the best! (From one of your students)
Yay, you seem genuinely happy in this video and I’m so happy for you ☺️!
Thanks for the updated blog. It has been a while, and always enjoy hearing from you.
