I completely relate to what Mitch and J described in this interview. Moving next month to Ajijic, I'm busy downsizing (selling everything that doesn't fit into four suitcases) and getting elder parent and other family members adjusted to the idea of my moving. I've found a very affordable, beautifully furnished place to rent with a huge terrace (view to die for), and will be living the life I've been imagining for so many years. I plan to take a vacation to La Paz next winter & hope to attend one of Brighton's cocktail events!
I look forward to meeting you next winter. Enjoy Ajijic. I may take Kat there at some point in the future, but this next trip is to San Miguel de Allende and nearby towns.
Great video! Our journey to Puerto Vallarta was not nearly as systematic (purchased condo when not looking for one and subsequently acquired a second one), but it worked out and has created a lifestyle that we wouldn't trade anything for.
Another great video! I just turned 65 but my husband is a little younger so he will be retiring early. We have been planning for about 4 yrs and will making the leap early 2025. It feels scary, but all the videos help us feel much more confident. Thanks so much for sharing😊
I'm in my early 40s and I've been retired for over a year. C'mon down and be the youngest retiree in town. Just be sure to enjoy it and don't try to change it, not even in your own neighborhood.
Amazing couple with a story that resonates... Seize the DAY!! When they started giving the ages of people in their family and friend circle that had already passed away in their 50's and 60's it really reminded me of my own story of losing my sisters and other family and friends "early" . Today is the best day to get out and do what it is that you really want to do... ENJOY life, and don't spend too much time sweating the small stuff. THANK YOU Brighton... you really do Shine!!
Fabulous interview! I especially loved the honesty they spoke of in the area of age. All the family members that passed and didn't have a chance to be retired. They still followed their dream even though they both have older sick family. I hear this all the time...I cant leave because I have an older, sick parent. It might sound cold but staying in the USA is going to kill many, many Americans. If they dont want to come with you then you have got to go, to preserve your own life. Poisonous, tainted food, air, water, hugely stressful life style and horribly high cost of poor medical care IS going to continue to kill thousands a year.
Yes - I agree. And their son helps with their parents. Sticking around in the US to care for parents could be a death sentence - your parent could easily outlive you. I say, "bring them to Mexico!"

@ I love La Paz and may move there, or live there half the year, down the road.

Congrats on your great spur of the moment purchases!
Your guests on the channel look so happy. So glad they have found a great place to live.
Thanks!

You can do it!

Congratulations!
Agree, enjoy the new adventure of the community you live in. We have loved experiences a different culture and the people.

Thanks for sharing Diana!
Grats to them on making such a big move and hope things work out well!
I may have missed it - how much does their new home cost?
About $125k USD
Older but really want to be here. Great info!
It's never too late (until it's too late.)
Welcome to Mexico 🫶
Nice interview! How lucky that they are able to move there before they retire. Good luck to them on the house build, I hope they love it.
What a super nice couple! Love their sense of adventure.
One of your best , most informative vids so far. A L L very important info. Thanks Mr B. P n D
Thanks Pam and Dave!
Great interview.
Thanks Janice!
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure Steven
Amazing video ,good for them we may join you all one day 😄🌴
I hope to see you soon.
I'm so happy for you that you have the wonderful neighbors! I envy you.
These aren't my only wonderful neighbors - many more where these came from ;-)
another fun video. we leave for El Pescadero next week, Wed....lots of snow down i5 but we'll be good. See you around!
I saw I-5 was closed last week. All the more reason to get here early again next year. Drive safe!
Are the security gates a precaution or a necessity? Thank you.
Most people have them, but they aren't necessary. We don't have them and haven't had any troubles in 5 years (knock on wood.)
Can you please share the name of the subdivision? Couldn't quite make out the name of it in the video.

Yes, my mother is just like her mom and she made it to 99.
