That's exactly what Paul and Sue did! And they want to share their experience living in #mexico
Sue and Paul, originally from Texas, had always dreamed of living overseas. But when their plans to move to Panama didn't work out for them, they started looking to their neighbors south of the border.
Originally, they had moved to Huatulco on the coast of Oaxaca but after a few months, they decided to move to La Cruz Huanacaxtle, a small town in the Bay of Banderas. Far from the tourist crowds, but close enough that they can easily visit Vallarta or any of the surrounding beach towns.
In this video, they share their experience living in Mexico, the culture shock they experienced, how they are able to retire sooner by moving to Mexico, the differences between Huatulco and Bay of Banderas, golfing options, rental tips, their healthcare options and costs, and whether they feel safe in Mexico or not.
These are their monthly expenses (in USD)
2,000.00 Rent
150.00 Pool maintenace
50.00 Lawn care
100.00 Housekeeper once a week
12.00 Water
50.00 Electricity
25.00 Mexican cell
55.00 Internet -StarLink
67.00 You Tube TV
100.00 Gasoline for 2 autos
400.00 golf - 4 rounds for 2 people
350.00 Groceries
400.00 eating out
70.00 TMobile US service for 2
220.00 Medicare supplement for 2
Total 4,049.00 for two people

Please support all good mexican people who live in USA and look for the same dream
Agree Jose 🙌🏼
I love to live in the USA and they love to live in Mexico that's wonderful I'm from Tijuana 😘
@@annaberthamezaherrera4768 I’m living in Texas and it’s not affordable to live here anymore. Im planing to move back to my country, and im going to leave a son and a daughter here in Austin tx.
@@JoseHernandez-wp2tk I live in Fresno and I'm comfortable
@@annaberthamezaherrera4768 tell me how is affordable?
Love people like this; They enjoy the differences in the Mexican culture and embrace it warmly.
Yes 🙌🏼
I wish I could do it

Great video, very informative. And remember folks: Mexican people are very welcoming but please shop local and support the local economy.
Also, yes! There are traditions dating back centuries, fire works during patron saint festivities, etc.. it’s all part of the charm. Get used to it. Please don’t try to turn Mexico into the 🇺🇸. That’s what you’re running away from, so please adapt and respect the local customs.
Welcome to my beautiful country!! ❤️🇲🇽
Amen 🙏
I totally agree, we should embrace the culture and traditions in a new country and not try to bring our own with us. I live in an Indiginous Community in USA and the traditions here are often very different from on outside. This is something we can enjoy too.
That would really ruin it!🇨🇦
And please, please, be a good tipper. They really need it. Also, do some good to the country like volunteering.
thank you for Supporyting Mexico!! even though we,r going through a Difficult time as a Nation!! because the Unruly are trying to give us a Bad Image!! most Mexicans are Hard working!!!
Los mexicanos somos los mejores! estoy de acuerdo
I feel glad to know that more and more Canadians & US citizens are moving to Mexico. Specially, digital nomads & students. YOU ARE ALL WELCOME !!!
Are hardworking independent African Americans invited too?
Of course everyone is welcome here as long as you come to work Mexicans despise lazy people. That's all, here hard work earns you respect not the color of your skin

Soy de 🇲🇽 mexico, y mi gente te damos la bien venida a mi pais, gracias por elejir 🇲🇽 , I am mexicano, my people give you, welcome to our country, thank you very much, my house is 20 hours south of puerto Vallarta, thanks 🇺🇸
Enjoyed this video. We also retired early in the Bay of Banderas. Came to Boca de Tomatlan Oct. 2019 from Tx. Can relate with everything you guys talked about and there are also so many more people just like us. Our fishing village is very small with maybe 500 people and is also 30 to 45 mins to Puerto Vallarta.....only we are south. Would love to meet you guys if our paths ever were to cross. Keep living your best lives.
I enjoyed staying in Huatulco and hope to return. I usually stay in Puerto Vallarta. We plan to move there more permanently. I knew P.V. when it was just a small village, so Huatulco will grow and offer more infrastructure before too long - and it's cheaper, too. The roads are excellent in Huatulco and P.V. gets very crowded during high season, but I enjoy expats around, too, so it's multi-cultural and P.V. is very encouraging - certainly, I feel very at home in P.V. and especially the Romantic Zone. Heck, I'll need a place ideal for the dogs, too - our one dog is from P.V. and was a street dog, but she's the BEST dog ever - we treasure her!!!!
I am from Mexico and you guys are very welcome. Hope to see you here. In Mexico you’ll find a lot of Friends
That's what real golden years suppose to be like congratulations....
I agree! They’re awesome and some of the nicest people in the world
they are living my dream
I love this story!! And it's so true, that in Nuevo that's where people go to vacation, but La Cruz is where people live. So nice to see you LIVING your best life in Mexico.
Glad you liked it
What is the full name of La Cruz? Tks
@@markhayvren2203 la cruz de huanacaxtle
@@sayuheal tks
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I am planning to sell my house in UK and move to Mexico, had enough of the British Cartel ( Government’s)
Location is so important to me, mid sized area with more local people than immigrants, weather and being able to walk to majority of places and explore.
Welcome !
We have a son in Georgia. We will be retiring to Queretaro in less than six months! We are moving from south Florida and can not wait to get out of this sauna! Queretaro is know as the land of eternal spring. 98 percent of the homes do not have ac or heat! They do not need it praise the lord! In south Florida, from April until late October, people lock themselves in their houses like northerners in the middle of winter. No one goes outside or the the beach, only tourists!
I live in Boca Raton and couldn't disagree more. Yes it's hot and humid. But you get in a car with AC , go somewhere that has AC. Or go to the beach or your pool.
Sounds great, but when I researched, this part of Mexico, it has around 68% humidity most of the time. I'm in Hawai'i and am looking at Mexico.. somewhere more ALIVE and less SWEATY than here
Its the same in So Cal as well, too friggen hot from June through October usually. A blast furnace although not usually humid, its oppressive heat when it gets going. I for one will be so happy to see rain and greenery again in Mexico City!
Queretaro is also nice weather but the eternal spring is Morelos . Good choice👍
I live in Qro and it has the perfect weather. Seriously! ❤
IM MEXICAN LIVING IN USA FOR 29 YEARS, BUT NOW IM TINKING TO GO BACK AND LIVE THERE FOR EVER.
You can do it. 😊 and we can help you if you need it- mexicorelocationguide.com
Love to see stories like this we mexican love people that love México welcome to México ...!!!!!!
I will share your kind regards with them
Awww so happy for you guys. Welcome to Mexico🙌
I love to see the happiness and relaxation in you both 💕, live love and spread kindness.
Am glad you guys choose to move somewhere that makes you happy, seems more like you’re in an adventure!
So love hearing from people who live in the towns/cities, how they have adapted to Mexican life, and the things they love. Gentrification can be a horrible thing, it is a no-win situation that there is no answer for. If I am able to live there, I won't be raising rents or anything else because I can't afford much, lol.
That’s the key! Pay what the locals pay
Pablo and Susan! Priceless return on your gifts and generosity to the kids.
This is the most awesome video, I’m living in Mexico trying to figure out what I wanna do and you are helping me tremendously
Thanks Michael! Glad you liked it
Love these! It's great to hear other peoples experiences and how they've adjusted to a new life in a different culture, what they like and what they've had challenges adjusting to. So looking forward to experiencing this for myself in the very near future.
That’s great Dale! Glad you liked hearing their story
Glad to have people like you in our country!😊
Love your post! I hope we can all start to get real about the differences between social programs and socialism in the US (aka, healthcare--whoot!). I'll be heading to MX soon as well. When people say 'aren't you afraid of Mexico?'' I say 'No way! They're happy, they take care of their people, their schools are safe for their kids, they can congregate without fear of being shot or run over--it's a great place!" Pretty soon they'll be putting up a wall to keep us out!
Thanks for watching Mary. Hopefully no more walls are built on either side
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Si, No more Bad Hombres !
Excellent. Beautiful couple Really generous and thoughtful expats. Giving to the local kids Genuinely concern. Please interview more people like this. Thanks 👍🇲🇽
I am really very happy to hear that you love and like Mexico and thinking to Moving Mexico. I am Living in Italy Padova near Venice. I worked in Germany Bayren and Berlin also Austria Salzburg and Denmark Copenhagen and Poland Gdansk and Sopot and Gdynia cities in Poland and In Greece Athens. But now i am also thinking to open my own pizzeria In Mexico. My profession is Italian pizza maker and Italian food in Italy. But now i will live in Mexico forever. I also Love Mexico and Mexican culture and Mexican people too much!
It was my decision to move Mexico since 2014 !🇲🇽❤🇲🇽❤🇮🇹❤🇩🇪❤🇵🇱
Thank you for loving Mexico so much!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide your Country is very Beautiful country and Deserve for Love !
Welcome,
@@josed4110 thanks. Please are you from Mexico?🇲🇽
We must embrace the culture to be accepted and we should.
Soy de Chihuahua México !!! Les mando un caluroso abrazo y Dios los bendiga siempre .
Thanks for a very informative video. Thank you to Sue and Paul for the extensive interview.
Look at Lake Medical out of Chapala to use your Medicare at many of the hospitals in PV area. It doesn't have a premium. You go to the hospital, present your card and they bill your Medicare. No money out of pocket. This is a great program in many areas of Mexico and an extensive list of hospitals and Urgent care facilities. They have many US or Canadian insurance companies that they deal with.
I Can wait to go back to Mexico 🇲🇽 I been working 30 years no kids Just my wife and couple dogs
Great life story guys.
Thank for sharing your smart decision. I'm mexican from the North and I'd like to do the same as you, going to live to a beautiful place like that one. This video gives me hope makes me feel motivated to keep working on achieving muy own ideas to be free financialy.
Awesome informative video thank you so much for taking the time to educate so many.
It's called "Fiestas Patronales" each town has a celebration once a year & yes a lot of fire works during the festivities regardless of the time of day/or night. It's what makes Mexico such a beautiful place 😁
& yes Punctuality is NOT A Mexican thing.... you have to just learn & take a deep breath & learn to adapt to that!
Very true! Punctuality isn’t a cultural norm in Mexico unless it’s for a professional event
WELCOME TO MEXICO!!
I'm currently in Chapala and am moving to Ajijic to start up my business. Thank you for giving a lovely tour of Banderos. When I first got to Mexico I spent a week in Huatulco. Very beautiful. Yes you need a community if you are not on vacation. Congrats on your move and smart decision making.
Ajijic and Chapala for people on a budget but close to Ajijic is very popular with Americans with it's beautiful lake and moderate climate.
@@kimhicks4781 Lots of Canadians here too! Yes, it is beautiful and sure beats the cold of winter up north!
Thanks for the honesty. Other videos I have watched have not included this information so thank you.
Thanks for joining us
Thank you for loving my Mexico. Love ya from Houston, Texas
Loved this video! Very informative. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Did you learn something new?
What a great video!!!
Thanks Mariana, once again good info can totally hang out with Sue and Paul…..
They are our new private tour guides in Bucerias and Nuevo Vallarta
Such a sweet couple. Thanks for the interview.
They’re couple goals for sure 😍
Thank you for watching
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
Excellent video...one of your best, Mariana! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Thank you for making this video. I really appreciate it. I fell in love with mexico in 1988 and traveled back for several years trying to create a way that I could live there part time and part time in USA..I could not accomplish it. Ended up working in US and it's retirement time now. I'm old now and have kept up with the cartel news, also spoken to people who travel regularly to Mexico, and it's left me with feelings of not knowing if I'm safe if I go there to retire. Moreover I have 2 cats and the though of taking them to Mexico doesn't feel too good. Here Rents for 2 bedrooms are over 900 a month (low side in a safer than most area). Utilities in winter range 200 per month. Life is very expensive. I'm happy for you two and you are great.
Nice Huichol piece you have, been in the Bay of Banderas for 33 years still love it also .
Congratulations 🎊 and great information, keep living and loving and spreading kindness.
Thanks Brian
I just love you guys! I'm coming down in January with my little dog. I want to explore and find a place to live. Also have my permanent residency (half of it). Hope to connect for a beer and play for the pups.
I’m sure they would love for your pups to meet
Enjoyed your post. You are probably much safer in Mexico than you would be in Texas! We are too self-centered in North America thinking that our way is the only safe and sensible way to live. That is such a fallacy. I have lived in 9 different countries including Mexico & by far, I would choose any of them to live in over my own country. I hope you continue your love of Mexico and its people. Its a gem!
Love the interviews ❤❤
That marble story is so glorious, right on bother!
Thank you for your wonderful video. Very informative and very helpful. You cover so many important topics, from health care to safety to speaking Spanish. I flew out of the USA 5 days before the lockdown started and I've been in Latin America ever since (4 countries) looking for a nice spot to enjoy my retirement. In about 2 weeks, I'm flying into Guadalajara, Mexico -- my first trip to Mexico. Because of your great video, I hope to visit the Puerto Vallarta area.
Lovely interview.I'd love to see more interviews/information about this area (Bucerias/la Cruz/etc.)
Wow very inspiring and heart felt. Now I want to come.
You should! You can! 😊
We sure miss you two!... Hopefully, we'll get down THERE to visit!.
Jim, we have plenty of space. Come on down.
Lovely story and lovely couple, welcome to Mexico.
We agree!
Awesome video, guys. You guys are inspiration.
They really are
Love your story! Felicidades! Your lives sound so similar to ours. We are in La Paz BCS and so enjoying the slow pace of our lives doing nothing here. Yet our days are full, and sometimes busy. Life in paradise couldn't be better!
That is awesome!
We took a vacation to Huatulco a couple years ago. Long trip from the Midwest but we liked it there. Its built as a vacation spot.
Puerto Vallarta was one of our favorites.
For such a big city it sure seemed like smaller town.
Excellent video and very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Love your video, have a blessed time n enjoy life one day at a time
LaCruz de Huana cas- lay is how it is pronounced , hope you were ok during the hurricane .You also have the best local farmers market at the Marina opens in Nov. Lots of local organic products .
Love this video. You guys are professionals.

I built a house in Mexico and Like a lot of Americans we love it here. We cross the border for work and back. People are humble and no racist period. Just good living. There's more people with MORALS and Respect. And I saved Thousand of dollars building my house. Edit.
@ Michael T. What part of Mexico are you in to be close enough to the border to cross over to US to work. I have noticed the border townß that once were reasoñable have gone way up in price. Hope you will reply. Cheers
@@kimhicks4781 Thanks Kim. I'm from SD,CA. A lot of us cross daily
It's about half hr to hr walking, from 1 hr to 1/ cross driving. You adapt. Yes even prices has gone up, But far less expensive than the states. Plus the chaos stays in the states. Hopefully I helped .
@@kimhicks4781 Sorry had to do 2 parts. Electric is about 300, pesos every 2 months, DOLLARS about 15 dls a month. Water monthly about 250 pesos about 12 dls. Food HIGHER in some stores than others. Rent, 3 br 2/ baths can vary depending on location. Living is easy. People are respectful. 👋.
@ Michael T. Thank you for replying. Do you work in the San Diego area
@ Michael T. A lot of people in San Diego. Live in Mexico because it is getting unsustainable in the US especially San Diego. It would be a lot more expensive for you if you hadn't built your own house. They are building a lot of highrise apts right at the border. For a small 2 bed 2 bathe about three years ago in a new build they wanted 150K to buy. They probably want a lot more now. This inflation is bad everywhere.. I heard people can cross the border from Mexico and a van will pick them up and take them to Thornton Hospital in La Jolla or their hospital near the Zoo on University.. You must have had a lot of rain this year as well of the US.
Thank you kindly for this beautiful video . Thank you for the info. Dios lo bendiga
You are so welcome
Looking forward to this one!
Thanks for your help with this one 🥰
Your comment "like old people" you 2 have more courage & energy than most 20 yo in the USA. You are both an inspiration setting an example of life is what you make it to be! I live just south of you in Jarretaderas :-)
La casa non è un luogo... è una sensazione...
I have friends doing a 3-month tour with their young children to 3 locations to see if living in Mexico will be right for them. They are in PV now - La Cruz Huanacaxtle and Sayulita are next.
How awesome!
Great video and see you guys at Flamingo golf course this Saturday during Hola 19.
I like your video make life in Mexico easy and simple keep enjoying your life in Mexico, maybe my next stop there
Thanks for watching
love it beautiful story glad you all are enjoying your retirement blessings
Thanks for watching. I’ll share your thoughts with them 😀
omg. you guys are so cute the way you kissed on the beach in the end slow mo how cute and the way you smiled knowngly when the other person talked about something that you both agreed on and clearly have discussed before. really enjoyed ths vid and subscribed to your channel. watchng youtube vds about retirng n mexico is one of my guilty pleasures. im leanng toward san miguel allende though. and already have an apartment in europe in an affordable city whch i inherited from my father and he already made me a citizen but i can't stop watchng ths about mexico.
❤️your story!
Delightful folk and so accepting. Nan from Australia
Thanks Nan
Waooo exelente conversación, me atraparon desde el primer minuto y no dejé de ver el video asta el final, el beso fué épico 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 personas así son bien recibidas en cualquier parte del mundo 😊😊😊
You two are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story
They truly are amazing people. Thanks for watching!
I'm moving down from California. Need someone to help find a small 2/bedroom, nice kitchen. With a small yard for my dog. Thank you.
My husband passed in 2020. If I do this, Id be coming alone. Its a bit scary, but I want to come to Mexico.
I am so sorry for your loss. You will find there are a lot of single women in Mexico so making friends won't be hard!
We looked in La Cruz but could not find a home that spoke to us. We ended up finding the perfect place in Bucerias but go to La Cruz often and we often put our boat in the harbor there for a week or two at a time. I too thought Nuevo was way too much like "Florida" but I do ride my bike there four or five times per week because it has the best roads in the area. I can see why some people are attracted to being there.
You learned the key to Mexicans heart. Any kindness to their Children is so appreciated. I bought Ice cream to for the Children in my Aunts neighborhood and all of a sudden I was invited to their home for coffee and warm tortillas lol. I remember their kids on Christmasd a coloring book and crayons,Jack's and yoyos ,a girl's purse or a Tshirt for boys. They aren't asking for a handout it just in their friendly nature to be grateful and considering. You still see kids playing rag and ball outside. But slowly but shurly as more modren things like phone and the internet is integrated into Mexican youth I see less and less of the simple pleasures going to the wastside for technology. Kind of sad.
I did the good research to make the decision and your comments and tips will help to others to have a successfully relocation.
Thank you Pablo and Susana for giving me a peek into your lives in your new environment.
I am from Southern California.
Once again, thank you, Mari. My only fear now is that I will die before my 9 year old granddaughter finally rejects us for being old people. I am waiting for her to get tired of us so that I can explore Mexico with no guilt feelings. 😊
awe- that's cute. I'm sure she will never get tired of you. Bring her with you!
Recently visited your town. Was a lovely place
Thank you all for the love on this video. I’ll share it with Sue and Paul 😀
75uu
Thank you guys ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed this video
My friend in Bucerias took me to the Marina. I was impressed with it
Very encouraging. The monthly income requirement for Mexico keeps going up. I’m wondering how long they let people keep coming back under the temp or tourist route until one’s social security might kick in.
It’s kind of hit or miss whether they will deny you entry if you come to México as a tourist too many times
That’s why residency exists and that’s why we recommend applying while you qualify 😀
I can see myself living 3 months a year in Mexico during the winter. I love the beach towns but the summer heat can be brutal and it wears on you after a week or two.
We have been renting a condo in Puerto Vallarta from Nov to end of April for the past 6 years from an American couple who are teachers and want to spend the summer in PV and love the heat. They give us a break on the price, but we go back to Toronto during American March school break for a week to visit family, and they use the condo for a mini holiday during that week. We keep the place spotless, and it works out great.
