Going to Oaxaca in December
We recently moved to Puerto Vallarta from Houston TX and although financially things are changing, we love it and wouldnt want to change where we are.
Been living/working/traveling central Mexico for over 8 months now with no plans to return to the U.S. Since we already had a lifetime visiting/staying in Baja (non tourist areas, mostly) we knew we were looking for the places not on most gringos' radars... Where we are right now in Michoacan there are very few gringos and not many people speak English. Perfect!
And we have planned to be (right down the road from ya'll!) at a small town outside of Oaxaca city when we leave here...we'll stay most of the winter months there except perhaps for a few months at the Oaxaca beaches and perhaps a week or so in the Yucatan (flying in, leaving the RV for that one). While we are limited to places that have RV parks and good transportation we're seeing a lot of great non-gringo places even doing it this way. BTW, also, the towns like this one, that are kind of touristy but mostly with Mexican tourists, are also pretty great!
Long term plan, since who knows where things are going, is that we know we can always use Mexico as a jumping off point if we decide to go check out places like Ecuador in the future. Low cost of flights, stays, etc. makes this so much more possible for us now! Don't get me wrong, we LOVE Mexico and would love to stay here the rest of our lives BUT it's really good to have options after seeing how crazy and expensive and weird things have gotten in the U.S. Yeah...
To be honest, everywhere is changing. But somehow Mexico seems to be coming up on a lot of people's radar as a better option when it comes to living costs, getting fresh foods, etc. And they still hold to certain traditions especially when it comes on to family. I like that. They seem very humble people and respectful especially to their elders, which is not the case in most modern society.
I would bet most people are just repeating the patterns of someone that they know when infact things have changed. If you do your homework and it leads you to a happy life in Mexico that is awesome...it is the country for you. Just be sure to do your homework.
@@TheYarbrosthat’s a cryptic response if I ever saw one.
I arrived in Puerto Vallarta this afternoon & had a wonderful first day. I'm planning to take a sabbatical and will definitely be spending more time in Mexico.
As a women, I feel seen. I took the bus from the airport to my "Mexican residence". The bus was packed & a man quickly gave up his seat for me. The people have been really nice, friendly & helpful.
Nothing like a good reception!
True about the men and being seen. A man always is carrying my water jug to the car. Everyone is very helpful and sincerely so. My nine yrs of living in Ensenada are treasured.
I wish I had the love of my life to live abroad with... You two are so blessed 🙏🏾💜
We are definitely blessed and it wasn't by mistake. All praise is due to Jesus! Our relationship is the result of much patience, prayer and battles.
May God continue to keep His hand upon you two. 🙏🏽
You are such an inspiring couple... God Bless you and protect where the Lord takes you... Thanks for an excellent video on Mexico -- it is changing! The world is discovering what the US exploited -- and now Mexico can stand on its on two feet.
Thank you!
I love that you guys are always so transparent. Aside from the cost of living (the peso is on the come-up for sure...I had to take GDL and SMA off my list), my main concern is moving somewhere where the majority of my neighbors are bitter, angry people trying to escape the U.S.'s so-called "woke" culture. And I get the brunt of their anger/entitlement attitudes. What's most important to me is: A peaceful, diverse, inclusive community. It's a big, wide world.
A peaceful, diverse inclusive community that isn't prone to the residue of bitter expats. That's an interesting list. It sounds like you want to socialize with people who are at peace. Love it! If 8 recall you also want that city vibe. Let's see what we can drum up...
SIGAN DISFRUTANDO SU ESTANCIA EN NÚESTRO MÉXICO AMADO ❣️🇲🇽❣️
Gracias!
Plenty food for thought. Thank you for showing another beautiful peaceful slice of Mexico 🥰
Our pleasure! Thanks for sharing your time with us 😊
My plans haven't changed re Mexico. Love it... 😊❤
All good!
You guys are so talented on making these videos!
Thanks so much!
What Do I Want? I WANT PEACE! Right now….Mexico is still worth it. I am exploring the different States in Mexico. My next stop this month is a small country town outside of Puebla. I am looking for community, independent sustainability. Whereas, people live together on a huge property with their own dwellings and have healing, spiritual and a fun healthy life style. There is a main community house for any positive and healing activity. We are totally off Grid with solar energy and independent water from wells and other natural resources. We grow our own food and have other animals for food and for the natural balance of life. Anyway, Mexico does have many of these types of communities. It is just finding the right one that has good energy and I feel comfortable. I am in Huatulco Oaxaca right now and will be here till February 2024 then hopefully on to Puebla more permanently. We’ll See!
Preach 🙌
👍🏽❤️🌺🙏🏽
I wanna join your commune!!!
@@mutedearthvirgo Thanks for reaching out. Well it’s not my community. I am checking it out later this month for 4 days. After my visit, I can share more information with you. One step at a time. 😁
Ive been in Puerto Vallarta for a year now and I think its still worth it as far as a great living option. Not so much checking off what I personally desire! Amazing people, culture and views. I would love to get residency here!
Thanks for sharing!
The girl is very intelligent. Like all of us !!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂🙂🙂😃 "Left-handed"!!!!
¡Saludos afectuosos desde TOLUCA, Estado de MÉXICO!💓💓👍🏼🙂😊
Love Mexico but was just in Valencia, Spain and really fell hard for it, a good size city with modern infrastructure on the sea.
Yes, we heard it was wonderful. Can't wait to show our audience.
Got to find the hidden gems, am still blown away at the 1.50 cost per shot of mezcal 😂😂
Yea, that was a find! We had a meal with drink today for 75 pesos. The Pepsi was a third of the price. Appreciate these prices greatly!
You two are the cutest. Loved this video - the singing was special. ❤ Apryl, “I have to sit down for this one.” 😂 Those names are hard but you nailed it! Happy to be a $1 Patreon! 😊 Hope you’re enjoying the country - beautiful place.
Thank you so much for supporting our channel and Welcome onboard! You're right on time for our monthly chat this Saturday Morning no pressure just friends and coffee if you wanna stop by. Thanks again for supporting our channel!
Definitely something to consider. 3 1/2 years living here in Mexico now. Good topic.
Thank you! It's a great and mostly comfortable place.
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it. Ecclesiastes 7:12
Always an appropriate Word!
Also GDL is getting more costly due to peso power but I would say with so much housing going up, prices by Q2 2024 will drop by half. The surplus is going to be insane and I plan on taking advantage 👏🏽
Oh yes!!! I always felt like Gdl represented awesome investment opportunities for an investor that understood the market there...
omg the editing 😍 you guys are getting so good at cinematography! but to the point of the video, i offer travel astrology (astrocartography) readings to help people relocate based on their birth chart and I always review intentions/desires for traveling first. money is always involved to some extent. i moved to mexico (based on my pluto line) in 2022 to cut my cost of living the USD/MXN rate then was 20:1, and now at 16:1 i am definitely feeling the squeeze 😅
Thanks for appreciating the skills. They say to weather the storm and that relief is coming meanwhile I don't think Mexico is listening lol
You guys have to visit Zacatecas. It's so underrated. You will thank me.
Man the shots in this video were incredible. There is a reason why yall are successful.
Hey what's up with you! Thanks for checking the video! We hope you are flourishing down in the Yucatan. Peace to you bro!
Great video 👏🏻 it brings needed introspection, thank you 🙏🏻 😊
Thanks for tuning in!
This is exactly what i needed to hear.
Thank you. Its worth taking a look down where you mentioned , in my opinion.
Peace from Washington State🙌
thank you for the info! Safe travels
Thanks for watching!
Nice video, I love the work you put into it, editing excellence.
Thanks!
This video is off the chart’s creative! Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you!!! We're definitely trying to grow as artists.
I really enjoy ur blog … thank you for the good info and still thinking about moving to Mexico
Thank you. Mexico is still a great place. Enjoy!
Great video! I’m telling you y’all are killin’ em with that drone work! Ooooweee out cold with it! Creativity on another level! Great shot from in the fridge 😆😁 I be feeling the same way. 🙌🏿😁
That's the support I'm talking about! Got us fired up for the next production 💪 Thank you we appreciate your appreciation!
This was so needed. I was just praying about this. I would love to move to Mexico but Im not sure financially we meet the requirements when we retire in 2yrs Praying and keeping options open.
All things through prayer and supplication. I am confident you will find your place.
. .....LINDA NOCHE 🌃🇲🇽🤗🌃
GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR DIOS LOS BENDICE 🎉💐🎊
Dios te bendiga a ti tambien
@@TheYarbros AMÉN AMÉN 🙏 GRACIAS HERMANOS 🤗💐
Thank you
Likewise!
🇲🇽 In my opinion, México is worth it for the delicious food and friendly people alone, everything else México has to offer is icing on the cake.🎂🎂🎂
Good attitude and heck yeah! Tacos, tortillas & tortas Oh my!
friendliness doesn't pay my bills
For right now. It is where we will be but you raise a good question that we have been discussing. We are keeping our eyes open.
I think that is wisdom. Not I er reacting but.......
You guys have a great view
Thanks, not much around but we love it out here!
never heard of that city! Thank you
Its a sleepy farming town but we are enjoying it.
coaching clients??? How did I miss that. great footage and info
On yes, RUclips and Travel! Thanks for tuning in!
An honest, good, practical video from peiple with experience.
Thank you and thanks for tuning in!
Yes, in every way thank you for the video
I already knew you were in your zone lol Thanks for watching!
I was just in Brazil which was also affordable but Mexico is my #1 choice because I speak Spanish. Awesome channel.
That's a good question. I watch a few others Vloggers who live and travel in Mexico. They still like it yet have noticed inflation ,increased rentals or homes. I have a friend from my church who speaks Spanish fluently, as a on-line well-paying job, is divorced with grown kids. So he up and sold his home here and bought a home in Bucerias near Puerto Vallarta. He's been there 6 months and likes it.I'm sorry I can't by you a coffee, it doesn't work on my end. I won't do patreron for you because I don't want to involve my credit card like that. I feel bad and worry that you aren't earning enough income/money. Any other way to get money to you like Pay pal. God Bless. Sending Prayers.
Thanks for watching and caring. Our PayPal is Asjenn88@yahoo.com and CashApp is: $Nomadicyarbro. Thanks for thinking of us.
Interesting.
Cool.
Visiting for the first time very soon, but so far, I say YES, Mexico is still worth it.
Enjoy your exploration of this gorgeous country!
Nice!!!
What up bro, check you dm.
@@TheYarbroswill do! 👊
Mexico is a popular destination for expatriates and retirees due to its diverse culture, beautiful landscapes, warm climate, and relatively lower cost of living compared to many Western countries. The country offers a range of lifestyle options, from bustling cities to tranquil beach towns and picturesque mountain villages. However, like any other place, Mexico has its own set of challenges, including concerns about safety and security in certain regions. It is essential to thoroughly research and consider various factors such as healthcare, local laws, and infrastructure before making a decision to live or retire in Mexico. Consulting with expat communities and legal professionals, like The YARBROS, who specialize in international retirement can be helpful in making an informed choice. Thanks, THE YARBROS!
Here In Mexico we hace our troubles please be aware, All places have iissues consider it.
Yes, thanks for sharing!
One love family. R. U. In Chiapas?
Mexico is still Mexico, and my purpose for being here hasn't changed. That said, the super peso is really devastating my economy right now. Durable goods now are *much* more expensive than the US. Food is almost as expensive. My housing went up from $568 to $730/mo in one year simply from peso strength. It's still cheaper than the USA, but my travel is now far more limited, and I'm doing a lot more to conserve my money and live more simply. If I didn't have the same commitments to Mexico, and I was in your shoes or the shoes of some other expats, I might consider using this time to go explore other countries out there right now, returning to Mexico when the market cools down some. I completely agree with you, go where the gringos don't go. Unfortunately, it's getting harder and harder to avoid, as places that used to be off the gringo radar have showed up on the gringo radar due to RUclips and other social media. Any cool place seems to get overrun really quickly once word gets out. I absolutely adored Guadalajara, but prices between December 2021 and December 2022 were more than double for hotels/AirBNB, food, tours. I literally have photos from my Tequila tour in December 2021 where cantaritos were 2x$80 pesos, and one year later, 1 for $110. I have photos of the same place where a family pack of carnitas went from $300 pesos to $500 pesos. My old AirBNB I first paid $21/night for, but was $48/night when I went to go back. Not only did I see a lot more gringos going this year, but I found that people weren't nearly as friendly one year later, either. That last bit really hurt more than simply the cost of things being dramatically more expensive. I've also noticed, when I've had to go in for the INM for various things, the offices are a lot slower now, no Americans anymore, and a lot of Colombians are there now. That's just been my observation, having been to INM about 7 times in the last year. So, I think Mexico really is changing, and fast. On top of everything, cartel violence seems to be up in this part of the country, as two high profile murders just happened in the local mall, as well as a local Colectivo driver was killed just being in the way on the escape route. A Mexican friend tells me there's been a lot of activity of illegal road blocks and car jackings happening along the coast by Ixtapa-Zihuantanejo, as well. It's not changing anything for me, personally, but... I could definitely see it having an impact on others.
Have you considered Argentina...Buenos Aires and Mendoza look like great locations for both value and quality of life
Yes, maybe after their winter passes we'll check them out.
I would say based on your videos, yes… because if it’s beauty and simple living
...easy to migrate to and assimilate in. I get it.
Left US in May for Merida. Homes are very affordable but we know better deals are across the country. I LOVE our church. However, Queretaro continues to call mi nombre. 🤤
I love it....keep those options open. Mexico is so vast...
Mexico in my opinion is even more goals now because of the fact that things are changing. I think it is become clear to anyone who is actually paying attention that Mexico will be a completely different, much more powerful country in 10, 20, 30 years. If you can take advantage of it now by purchasing a house, or even just some lane here you can definitely be ahead of the curve:
*buy some land here
Okay! I agree w/; you.it is aligning itself to become a real Super Power.
I had always thought I’d choose Oaxaca, but I’m really such a big city girl and I love Mexico City (DF), and am curious if it’s still worth it. Are you going there to give us the scoop? Would love to hear about it.
We usually hit DF every visit to Mexico but probably not this time. We are trying places we've never been before.....well mostly.
Hello again I wanted to ask for your thoughts on Barranquilla Colombia? or Paraguay?
I live in the very expensive Cabo San Lucas. We are looking at relocating within Mexico, we are older, and water/sewer, electricity and infrastructure is important to us. Any Ideas?
Alot if cities Ave been "modernizing." I would get a real estate agent in Puebla, , smaller cities surrounding Oaxaca city. Mexico is huge so I'd suggest traveling to desirable areas and then looking for construction in the surrounding cities.
What state is Tlacochahuay in and is it hot and humid there?
Oaxaca and the weather is moderate.
Me and my family just got back from Guadalajara Mexico 🇲🇽 we loved it and we where shocked how expensive it has gotten …then we fly to Cabo San Lucas and that’s was just if not more expensive then the US. What’s going on with the Super Peso ?
How much is Tomate now?
The rich are getting richer iin MX.
The super peso will impact some people’s decisions on Mexico.
I get the feeling it is going to level out at about 18 tho, at least for the next 2-3 years. I believe eventually it’s going to 10 but it’ll take a decade or two
April do you have difficulty finding someone to braid your hair?
I thought they would stay in Brazil or Colombia!!!😊
Brazil doesn’t seem very sustainable for longer stays… it’s far away and has more barriers than Mexico does.
When we find out spot. There will yell it from the rooftops.
@@TheYarbroswe found our spot in Brazil and we ARE yelling from the rooftop. We thought Mexico was it but after 2-year of changes there, we knew Mexico was not it. We are never leaving Brazil.💚🇧🇷
@@robertanichols8303 Thats awesome!
I been to CDMX once four years ago and stayed for 5days. I instantly fell in love. Just couldn’t believe how comfortable and amazing the lifestyle was. But I will say once I went to that Roma Norte neighborhood I was like woah! There’s a lot of expats here and I felt like I was in an area of Brooklyn, NY again (bushwick) and I got that ick 😅So I quickly left and went back to my Airbnb area lol. I just know it’s gotten 10x worse now every since COVID-19. I just can’t seem to go live in another country and have American expat neighbors. No offense it’s just not what I want for myself. That privileged mindset and condescending undertone most have is like a sickness lol. Anyways I hope the locals don’t get pushed out by them or get priced out. Mexico is big country though so there’s enough space and opportunity for growth I guess.
Yes it is
Okay, you are all in for Mexico! Love the conviction!
Já que vocês estão no México visitar o museu dos olmecas ouvir falar que as cabeças têm também na África
Yes, we visited there a few years ago.
Ouvi falar que muitas pessoas do sul da Califórnia então indo morar no México aluguel mais barato e casa também saúde
Yes, people from all over the US are heading to Mexico.
Absolutely still worth. Once you learn to live below your budget, you have more wiggle room in your situation.
Okay, the power of a good budget. Interesting take.
right I was born there lol
Here in Mexico, foreigners are respected, whether you are American or South American. But here in Mexico and in LATAM in general, the United States is seen as a threat. like an empire that one day abused and is latent to repeat it. How have you experienced this situation of anti-American sentiment? Does it bother you that people make anti-Yankee comments? Have you suffered discrimination or aggression under anti-Yankee arguments?
I don't understand the nature of your interrogation but to answer your questions. Yes and I have receipts. Any statement made in this video has a base. Like we said we got libe for MX but there must still be a tally to see if all these changes lead to a new outcome.
Odd how Americans treat others in own country that way. Reap what sow. US is probably one of the worst places for quality of life. Lived in US and never seen as many angry depressed looking people in my life. They do not live they exist and just barely.
@@TheYarbros USA is going to invade militarily to Mexico?
Mexico can’t and shouldn’t stay poor forever, if the value doesn’t seem like it’s there anymore then you need to up your game and make more money🙏🏽📈
I think that could be an answer another is to simple find a country where the value is still there.
Are you talking about the Entire Country being poor? Because if you are, I would suggest digging deeper into the different States of Mexico and researching their economy. You will be very surprised!
IF you are willing to live within a local community and not in the "Gringo Expat enclaves" and IF you are willing to adapt to the local lifestyle (no Central Heat/Air, no pool, no tennis court, no malls), you'll be fine. I live on Social Security but since it's a stable income, I found a young Mexican couple who just inherited an older small apartment and it's been mutually beneficial. Locals have to move because of their work, but I'm always here so there is always a small steady income to fix things up unit by unit. In a few years, I will return to the U.S. and they will have a nice source of income for themselves, and they feel like my kids now! Double blessings
Beautiful story and that's real life.
Yall videos look like movies I want to Edit like this
That's a huge compliment! Thank you!
@@TheYarbros I love it. Don't care what the topic is I'm watching it!!
If you have an expired tourist Visa, you qualify for Mexican Temporary Residence (amnesty/Covid relief), with no income requirement. You still have to pay for 4 yrs $600US but all of this Visa paperwork can be done from Mexico.
Mmmmmm…..I believe that program no longer exist. My husband had an expired visa and he did not qualify for that program because you had to have been in Mexico during a specific time frame. It is definitely something people should check out if the program still exists.
Yes, before we left we were qualified for it...met with immigration and everything but opted ultimately decided it wasn't right for us.
Last time I checked (about 16 months ago) it was a wrap for that program
Eu ouvi falar que Pancho era afrodescendente pouco fala dele e história
Interesting...
inflation is only like a small factor by Pesos, but if your fund is in US Dollars, the exchange rate rise actually contributes more than 20%, in a total of 30% cost of living uprise if comparing last year
As of today the exchange rate is 1USD:16.7MX$, and it’s been for a month so far, from news headlines says there will be mass exodus of those 2 millions Americans expats, probably move back is better idea if this exchange rate continues for a long time
Mexico Will See a Mass Exodus of Americans if the Dollar ...

I love that you said Unitestatians 😊 I do too 😂
😁😁🤭
Inflammation is global..but the Canadian dollars are crumblimg..usa to follow
Love Mexico's rural areas, especially Yucatan and Veracruz, but the thing is: cases in fact: God help you if you are scraped by a random rusty piece of metal (1 in Merida), step on a rusty nail (1 in Quintana Roo countryside), trip into a deep hole or uneven sidewalk & fall and hit your head on the cement (3 in Oaxaca City) --- and need a doctor/hospital/tetanus shot Immediately. I guess you youngies take more chances. **Mexico is worth it IF you can afford to take care of the expense of Any Situation/Accident/Arrest/Illness that may arise.**
Especially out in the boonies, some folks may not be able to afford to help you in any way, or be afraid to, some dire poverty and humble desperation in the countryside. Or, it could take a long ride to a hospital. Cities, naturally, have the best medical options & good ones. I Have Lots of Love for Mexico❤️
Cool, I hear you. We believe the risks are acceptable. Although we do worry about spider bites. We've seen some big ones!
I agree that the risks are acceptable. People need to know to watch every step they take & be more aware of where they walk: this has been the mistake by 3 people i know. And, Know your insects.😆
It's not generally an easier life than n the U.S., but it can be much less stressful, healthier with fresh food, and contentment. It all depends upon one's acceptance of small compromises in daily life. It is worth it if you are happy. I found the adherence to traditions and the importance of family life and faith very comforting. I could not accept water issues, not flushing tp, and lower bus/truck emissions control. Otherwise, I loved it.
Mexicans want to live the American dream,while Americans want to live the Mexican dream.
Lol about the size of it.
Why dont you just say what you want to say instead of trying to speak around it. Idk what that message is, but it’s obvious that you’re trying to talk around your point.
We stated what we stated in plain English. If you didn't get the message it wasn't for you. This is as transparent as we get. Thanks for watching though.
God said money is the root to all evil but we were to obey man's law and gods law. So during the times of Moses law taxes were invented to take care of their government. The more you know.
I understand what you're saying but taxes existed way before Moses's. Ancient Iraq is the first official tax records but I understand where you're coming from.
You guys need to go back to Brazil 😂
I know ppl dislike the truth...but the truth is here my friend. Unafraid and not intimidated and loving our time in Mexico.✌🏾🤗
