Is it true that you have to travel back to the states if you are on SSD? For regular physicals?

Also another error. Paul Harvey actually would state, "and now for the rest of the story." ;-)

And about that woman and her children which were kidnapped back in June 2021 (still missing), the local news was covering it. The woman appears to have been traveling on 85 Libre, not the Autopista (which is way over priced). Local news was showing an increase in security on the Autopista, not the Libre route.

@Rob Kaku It is not a topic that is discussed often. There are valid reasons for either decision, but it is important to know the benefits and drawbacks either way. Our motto here is that it is better to know what your getting in to so that you can make a better more informed decision. Thanks for supporting the channel…😀

Absolutely 💯 Even at the mexican airport, I experienced mistreatment, but as soon as I started speaking in english, it was like a switch flipped

@@annegonzalez6683 That is so sad to hear. I just obtained my Mexican citizenship through a parent who was born in MX so that I can buy property there. I am now applying for my Mexican passport. So that I am not treated badly as you mentioned, should I avoid using my Mexican passport when I travel to MX and only use my American one? I have heard using a MX passport means shorter wait times at the airport, but what do you recommend? Thank you!

Thanks. We started this channel a little over 3 months ago with zero experience in filming or video editing. Little by little we are learning and striving to put together better quality videos as we learn. We have been enjoying the process. You picked a great spot! We love living in San Miguel! Welcome to Mexico! Speaking of Arizona. I was stationed in Phoenix for 5 years and worked throughout Arizona during my time there. Small world…😀

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Yes, it is a small world. We almost bought a beautiful home in El Mirador a couple of weeks ago, only having been beaten to the punch by another buyer. When I watched your story, I related to it all. I'm 56 yrs old, and I retired a long time ago, but with a daughter here going to college and eventually graduating and going into the work force, we never had to really address the "what's next" question for my wife & I. But I have made a lot of friends in San Miguel and we were welcomed there more than we've ever experienced anywhere else on the planet. We've lived in Arizona for 20 years now, but the costs of living here are so high, and even though we can afford it, I'm just not sure I want to run the risks with the medical system here. In 2019, I chose to go to Guadalajara and have major surgery, and it was the best medical experience of my life. I think that we just gradually became acclimated with Mexico although I understand the risks. But with that said, I'm not from America and I migrated here myself when I was 25 and even back then the thought of coming to America was fueled with the news stories of gang wars, drugs, poverty, guns and muggings. That didn't stop me, and I've had a great life here because I wasn't afraid even though everyone around me would say, "Over the hill, there be dragons". Anyway I realize you are traveling in the USA right now, but if you find yourself back in SMA in August, my wife & I would love to take you and your wife out for lunch or something like that. We are all trying to get to know people there as we transition and your experiences are gold. Please do keep up doing the KZfaq thing. I have a podcast I've been doing for years now (www.beunconstrained.com) and I used to be a recording engineer in Hollywood so if you ever need help with anything to do with sound (and I'm not as good, but I can do videography) just let me know. I'd be happy to help out in anyway I can.

Well, all I can say that you will love it in San Miguel! We should be back by August actually. I am being interviewed live on August 3rd by another KZfaq Channel on the subject of moving to Mexico so we need to be back by then. We would definitely love to meet you guys and get together. Best way to get a hold of me is through Facebook. If you don’t have Facebook we’ll figure out a way to hook up. I’ll let you know when we’re headed back! We'll definitely keep in touch and welcome to an awesome future adventure to come! On the production end, it's low budget but building and could use all the advice and help that I can get...😀 BTW, listened to your podcast you did from San Miguel and it’s good stuff. I think alike on a lot of fronts, like your philosophy.…😀

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Thank you. That's awesome. Sorry for taking a while to respond here - you know the drill with travel, etc. LOL. Anyway yes, let me find you on Facebook and I'll message over there.

Your welcome. I’m glad this helped. It’s always good to know the pros and the cons. Like I always say so you can make an informed decision. For some it is beneficial and for others it may not be. It all depends on your personal situation…😀

Thanks we are doing our best to be informative and glad you enjoyed this video. I definitely have more to come!

Thank you and thank you for stopping by and supporting our channel!

Actually, odd reason but a good one at that! Like I stress, this is a personal decision regardless and everyone has their own personal situation. I would have to agree that is a very good reason and definitely outweighs the disadvantage! Good luck with getting that grant! I am rooting for you!!!!

What’s a Fullbright grant?

@EFTSoulPath Laurel Brookes Thanks for the compliment. We strive to educate. In the end it always boils down to a personal decision. My goal is to arm you with the information to make an educated decision. Thanks for supporting this channel..😀

Actually, I am not saying that you renounce your US Citizenship in any way by becoming a Mexican Citizen. It is not a either or situation. What I am saying is that you loose certain diplomatic protections. I also point out that even though you loose these diplomatic protections, it does not mean that the US will not intervene on your behalf, they will be limited in what they can do and México does not have to abide by certain rules if the US does intervene. I also do state that it is beneficial for those that want to own property by the beach and the benefits may outweigh the consequences and even give example of people who have lost their homes because their property was not secured as a Mexican Citizen. You have a very valid point but you must understand like I told another KZfaqr that lives in Rivera Maya and did a video on getting Mexican Citizenship that not everyone is buying property on the beach and actually this group is a minority of Expats within the Expat population. Maintaining your diplomatic rights in areas other than the beach may not be in their best interest. Another important note is that there are those that just want to practice their right to get dual citizenship because they love Mexico and feel part of the culture and those who would like a Mexican Passport so they can travel more freely. Your point is very valid as well as this other group I mention. I respect that and that is why I say it is a personal decision and can not advise anyone on what to do!

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL I listened pretty carefully. You may wish to edit your video & insert “dual citizenship is perfectly acceptable to either country.”

Yes I did mention that dual citizenship is recognized in Mexico but that Mexico will consider you a Mexican Citizen first and your other citizenship will be secondary which presents several diplomatic hurdles and does not bound the Mexican Government to abide by certain diplomatic rules and in some cases because of these hurdles the US government will not intervene on your behalf. I even gave the insurance analogy to make my point. Yes you have two insurance but which one pays and what they pay is a different story although you have two insurances. I am very familiar with this and have dealt with dual citizenship on a diplomatic level. Both countries both recognize dual citizenship but at a diplomatic level it is another story. This even applies in the United States and believe it or not that is why some Mexicans decide not to naturalize. For example in the example of when I arrested someone, if the individual held dual citizenship, I was under no obligation to contact the Mexican consulate nor did I have the obligation to give consular officers access to the arrestee even though they were also a Citizen of México. I think you are misunderstanding the video. I never once mentioned that you give up your US citizenship! The only reference that I made to giving it up is those who want to avoid paying taxes. Look there are advantages and disadvantages and the answer is not black and white and like I said it is a personal decision and all I am trying to do is educate people as to the consequences and benefits of dual citizenship. For, a majority it is not convenient because like I said a majority of expats don’t live on the beach.

Another important thing to note is that many misunderstand the meaning of Dual Citizenship. Basically there are some countries that require you to renounce your citizenship in order to obtain citizenship in their country which is basically a form you sign or you may even be required to surrender your passport so they can send it to the US showing you renounced your citizenship. Being a dual citizen only means that the country you obtain citizenship in does not require you renounce your other citizenship. At a diplomatic level it gets more complicated. There is a difference between not requiring you to renounce your citizenship, which makes you a dual citizen, and the host country not acknowledging you other citizenship when it comes to diplomatic relations and agreements. Truth is that the only advantage to holding dual citizenship, apart from the reasons I mentioned, is the ability to maneuver both countries without having to worry about visas or residency but from a diplomatic standpoint you loose some diplomatic rights afforded to you on both sides of the border. I hope this clears things up for you and anyone else who was confused by this…😀

There is nothing restricting non-MX citizens from purchasing property within 50kms of the ocean, if they do it in partnership with a MX Bank trust (fideicomiso). It lasts 50 yrs, can be renewed once more (I believe) and has a right to pass it down to one's heirs if needed. That said, retaining US citizenship burdens most expats in that they have a harder time opening bank accounts (not so much in MX, but more so outside) due to FATCA laws, have to report holdings of more than $10K of liquid assets in bank accounts, trusts, retirement policies, etc. annually to FINCEN, etc. Although these compliance requirements are not too hard to deal with if you have a good US attorney for this, failure to do this can have hefty penalties that have become a windfall to the IRS. Many renounce due to those restrictions, rather than to have land ownership or voting rights. However although this is not the case in all countries, MX and USA do not restrict dual citizenships. I have 2 already with other countries, and MX would be my 3rd. But that said, I'm happy to use permanent residency. I am, however, cognizant that MX immigration crackdowns are real (as our host here has done an excellent video on) and that there is no control over changes in administration (either in the USA or MX) that would harden the border entry requirements for non-residents, as we have seen at the land border with COVID restrictions (ie. only essential travel allowed). My concern would be that without a decent and legal means of residency, that as MX increases their automation and software systems, they will move towards a more restrictive entry policy. Considering the influx of asylum seekers from the south, this seems almost innevitable IMHO.

The case I mentioned is in the case of serious accident where there is a physical injury. This does not pertain to fender benders and minor injuries at least in most cases. They saying in Mexico if blood is shed as a result then you get put in jail. A long time ago it was for any type of injury but now it has to be physical visible injury in most cases but I have heard cases of people going to jail for minor injuries still. Also, in the case of whiplash that is a subjective injury and not a physical injury. The injury must be a physical injury before they send you to jail. Also, you mentioned you had to wait for your insurance to get there. Here in México, you usually call your insurance before you call the police. When they go out on these types of accidents and a person is driven away in an ambulance, they can mitigate with the police and prevent you being sent to jail since it is a subjective injury and prevent you from being arrested because it is the insurance company is the one who legally represents if you do go to jail. Actually, your insurance is the ones who will send lawyers to the jail to get you out especially if it was not your fault.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL just wanted to be sure so folks don't freak out if they get a minor accident plus if I supposed to be arrested but wasn't, I'll light a candle tonight!

Thanks! And thanks for the support!!!😀

@mental grace I totally understand. Everyone has their own personal circumstances and it is a very important personal decision to make. Each side has its advantages. What I think is important is to make a decision that fits you…I am sure you will do what’s best for you..Thanks for dropping by!!!😀

By Mexican law the Mexican nationality by birth can't be renounced, thus all your relatives which are Mexican nationals by birth are legally required to present a Mexican passport. In general the immigration authority will do a blind eye as long as they don't check each persons profile and it comes up that they are Mexican nationals. The problem is that if they ever get in trouble with Mexican authorities, sooner or later the records that proof that they are Mexican nationals will appear and thus they will be treated as Mexicans even if they have acquired other nationality. One important thing is to distinguish that Mexico differentiates citizenship and nationality, your relatives by entering Mexico with a foreign passport loss their citizenship status (not able to be elected or vote primarily) but they still keep Mexican nationality.

@H Rico You are absolutely correct about the jail thing. You will not get out of being sent to jail if you are a foreigner. That is the reason, I pointed it out in the video. Many people use the argument that I’m not doing anything illegal, I won’t ever have to worry about going to jail. The consulate rights apply when you are actually detained. Getting in an accident is a perfect example of being sent to jail even if your not doing anything illegal. Thanks for your insight…😀

They don't arrest you for traffic violations anymore unless you are guilty "imprudencia vehicular" and cannot demonstrate financial responsibility, ie: insurance.

Actually, you bring up a good point. When I was working and arrested a dual citizen in the US, I was under no obligation to contact the Mexican Consulate. We treated the person as a US Citizen. Same philosophy as in Mexico. Yes, your dual Citizenship is recognized by both Countries but your primary Citizenship is where you live if that makes sense? This is the problem dual citizens face in both Countries. Now with that being said, you still have the right to contact either government to ask for assistance but they are not under any obligation to assist and in most cases diplomatically respect the other country and won’t assist. Now if the case is high profile or extreme there are cases when they will step in but diplomatic rules will not apply if they do. People misunderstand this video that I am stating that you give up your Citizenship to the other country and argue that both countries recognize dual citizenship. Yes they do but that only means that the country that recognizes dual citizenship does not require you to renounce your citizenship if you become a citizen of that country. Some countries require a person to renounce their original citizenship in order to become a citizen of their country. What people need to recognize is that there is a difference between a government recognizing a secondary citizenship and diplomatic rights. Actually, even in the US, there are some government jobs that require you to renounce your citizenship to any other country for reasons of National Security. I hope this answered your question.

Your disagreements are duly noted but I must clarify some things here. I have repeatedly mentioned that the US Consulate is not a get out of jail free card. I was assigned to the State Department for 3 years and worked in a field where we dealt with this frequently. As you say that the consulate can not do anything other than advise your family is not totally correct. They serve several diplomatic purposes when a foreigner is arrested. Including ensuring that your human rights are being observed, helping with obtaining local counsel and yes advising your family immediately. When you are a dual citizen, Mexico will consider you Mexican first and those diplomatic rules don’t apply. For example in your family example, if the Mexican authorities are not required to contact the consulate, it could be weeks or even months before you can advise your family since the Mexican Government has no obligation to advise your family or consulate. Also, it is important to note that there is a difference between diplomatic pressure and political pressure. There are certain diplomatic pressures each country has a right to if another country is not following certain rules. This is where your protection comes in to play. I also, never said that dual citizenship restricts you from drawing money from any foreign source. I did make a mistake that I duly note in the comments when I spoke about people renouncing their US Citizenship for tax purposes. I had stated that you couldn’t draw social security which I was corrected on and acknowledge in my comments. As far as joining the Army as a dual citizen, I am not sure about Mexico, but you can in the United States. As far as the car accident thing, yes if you have a good insurance policy the company has lawyers that can bond you out but depending on the seriousness or circumstances of the accident, even with good insurance that can take days and even weeks. This is where it is important to have the consulate contact. They can even help make sure you get bonded out by keeping contact with your insurance company lawyers. You are correct about being President. Now in the US, you can hold public office except for the Presidency. In Mexico, you can not hold a public office unless you were born here. Also, having worked with the State Department, we had several people who were dual citizens. Where dual citizenship comes in to play when working for the US government is with Security Clearances which I can’t really discuss. Also, there is no restriction by any agency on government employees traveling to Mexico. US government employees from any agency can in fact travel to Mexico. Now with some agencies, security clearances come in to play but it does not restrict employees traveling to Mexico. The only time government employees are restricted from traveling to a foreign country is when there is a safety risk or threat to government employees in that country. Also, employees stationed here in Mexico have certain travel restrictions placed on them for safety reasons. Look, there are many valid reasons a person may want citizenship including having pride in the new country in which you live. There is nothing wrong with any of these reasons. My goal is to educate people on what they are getting into if they choose this route. Nothing more, I am not advising against it and even list the reasons it may be advantageous.

@Noslen Sesom I have never been asked that question actually. I get my income from a US government pension so I have no choice and I am a permanent resident. There is a lot of debate on this issue and I am not a tax expert. A lot of people working from home for US companies here argue that it is foreign earned income since they are physically working in Mexico and some argue that it is not because the income source is from a US company. Now if your income is foreign earned you can claim the foreign income credit and my understanding is that you have to report it, but then again I am no tax expert.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Thanks

@Linda Robinson I totally agree with you. Unfortunately many people who do this do not meet the financial solvency requirements to get residency. Sad part is that immigration started offering amnesty type programs last year and some of these people continue to insist that it is legal and still won’t fix their status. Unfortunately, these are the ones who will suffer in the end. When Mexico goes full force on refusing entry to people engaged in this type of behavior.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL WOW!! That's a terrible! I hope these people can make it work. We are strongly considering a move to Mexico. I"m confident we can qualify for temporary or permanent residency.

Thanks for the compliment. I am not familiar with any property management companies. To be honest, I own my house in a small golf course community just outside of San Miguel. My best advice would be to join the SMAllende Friends (not to be confused with the Newcomers and Friends Group) Facebook group and the San Miguel de Allende group. These two Facebook groups often list properties for rent. Also, when posting questions to the group, I have found the people in these groups to pretty very honest in their answer. Since I live on the outskirts, I am not very familiar with which neighborhoods most expats gravitate to. It would be best asked in those groups. They both have a very diverse group of people who live throughout the city and could probably give better advice than me.

Being married to a Mexican Citizen, I would advise going straight to permanent. The only advantage to Temporary would be if you want to bring a US vehicle with you. Also, another catch to Temporary Residency being married to a Mexican Citizen is if you want to convert to Permanent, you have to hold temporary a minimum of 2 years. So basically you are tied in to two years before you can convert to permanent. Best off going straight to permanent. Also, don’t have to renew like TYemporary.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Thanks

You need to hold temporary residency four years before applying for permanent status, not two. @@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL

As far as banks go the two major banks in San miguel would be Santander and BBVA. Both are International Banks. Now be aware that you will need some type of residency to open a Mexican Bank Account. As far as safety deposit boxes, you would have to ask. Honestly, I don't think that is a thing with most bank branches in Mexico. Like I suggested in my last response, the San Miguel Facebook groups are a very good resource for this type of info.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL thanks for your response. KEEP up with your good informative videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Oh and I'm single no wife , Mexican or American do I need to find a wife there?

@Account Holder I met all the financial solvency requirements qualifications for both temp and permanent residency. When I went to the consulate and they found out I was married to a Mexican Citizen, they processed me as married to a Mexican Citizen and told me that it was the easiest way for them instead of looking at all the financials I took with me. I applied through a Mexican Consulate in the US but you can apply directly to INM within Mexico if you are married to a Mexican Citizen.

Thank you for that information, yes I am married to a Mexican national & good to know that we can apply inside Mexico

@Jim Salmon No Monterrey is not a restricted zone. You will be fin buying property there…😀 Monterrey is a nice choice. I have family there and visit often. Actually in Monterrey right now…😀

You would have to renounce Canadian citizenship for naturalization and naturalized Mexicans can’t have dual/multiple citizenship

@Mr.Carl.228 Thanks for supporting the channel!!!😀

@joaquinsahagun2081 For dual citizenship the Mexican government always considers your Mexican Citizenship first. I just did a recent live stream which you can find in the live stream section discussing this topic more in detail.

@Guac’n’Roll You do not have to renounce your your US Citizenship. Both the United States and Mexico both recognize dual citizenship. There are definitely advantages of having dual citizenship but this video was to point out what you give up as a dual citizen which many people don’t realize. As a dual citizen here, Mexico considers you a Mexican Citizen first and then recognizes your other citizenships after that regardless of where your original citizenship is from so in the case of consulate assistance from another country, if you are a dual citizen, Mexico does not apply Diplomatic protections to you even though you also hold a different citizenship. Although a majority of foreigners living in Mexico never have to use these protections, I thought it was important to point out. I have seen cases where several dual citizens start demanding or threatening consulate protection when they have no standing. It is a personal decision and many people get their citizenship for different reasons that benefit them. This video in no way is to discourage anyone from getting their Mexican Citizenship. This video is to educate on the consequences so people can make informed decisions. That is the main goal of my channel. Hope this helps.:.😀

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Yes thank you for your speedy reply.. A couple of years ago I was in an accident (minor very minor) it was not my fault. They let the man that hit me go and asked me to purchase sodas for their next fiesta. I learned a lesson. I am probably going to lose just because....just because.

As long as 1 parent is a Mexican citizen you can

@hectorpast7 There are advantages to having dual nationality but many individuals do not know the consequences of naturalization. Also, it may not be common but foreigners do get in trouble here in Mexico, to include being falsely accused. I have handled several of those cases in the past. The bottom line is that as a dual Citizen, Mexico considers you a Mexican Citizen first so if you do get in trouble, things like US Consulate protection is not guaranteed or if something happens to you and your family calls the US Embassy for help, they may not be able to help you. This has happened a lot with dual nationals that are victims of crimes here In Mexico. Yes, I know because I spent time as a diplomat and am aware of such cases. Maybe if it is high profile enough the US government will intervene but if not you are out of luck having the US government put pressure on Mexican Authorities to solve the crime. I am just here to educate individuals on the consequences of naturalizing. The decision is up to the individual if the benefits outweigh the negatives.

@melann406 There are advantages to being a dual citizen also. The reason for this video is to make people aware of the consequences of being a dual citizen. It is a personal decision. If your son was born in Mexico he is already a Citizen by birth which is not necessarily a bad thing. There are many people who do not realize the consequences and are surprised or not prepared. If you know the consequences, then you are better prepared to work around them. My wife is a dual citizen and has many benefits here in Mexico over me.

Yes! The only restrictions for foreigners owning property is that you can not own property within 50 kilometers of the beach and 100 kilometers from the Border. If you want to buy on the beach or close to the border most foreigners use what is called a FIDEICOMISO which is basically a land trust you establish where technically the trust owns the property with you as the beneficiary. As far as San Miguel, yes you can outright buy and own property.

@Paul C first, I have to ask if you were born in Mexico or were either of your parents Mexican Citizens? The answer depends on which one as far as documentation.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL I was born in Los Angeles, my father was a Mexican citizen when I was born and my parents married after I was born.

@@paulc1014 Of course you will still need your birth certificate and then you will need proof of your fathers citizenship. When you make an appointment with the consulate, make it with Mexican Citizen services. You may also want to visit the consulates website. The fact that you parents were married later doesn’t matter. What matters is that your Father is listed on the birth certificate.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL and that is all they will ask for? My birth certificate and my father's birth certificate showing that he was a Mexican citizen? They will not ask for anything else?

@@paulc1014 If you can get a hold of your Father’s INE that would help. Also, each consulate has a different processes. I would visit the consulate website you plan to do this at and it should give a list of documents they require.

@ Alondra Zepeda Yes you can open a bank account with residency. As a matter of fact all Mexican banks require either temporary or permanent residency. There is only one bank that does not called Intercam.

@estedavid15 or if your middle class you pay too. Only the privileged get to choose the non-payment option.

I am keeping my U.S. Citizenship but I want Residency in Mexico. I want to purchase property in the Mexico City area.

That is a personal choice as I said in this video. I have personally stuck with Permanent Residency but I do realize those that do obtain Citizenship do have their reasons and I totally respect that. This video is to educate people on what the consequences of going that route are. Sometimes the benefits outweigh the consequences but it is best to go in to something with eyes wide open.

Actually, I will be covering this in the next video on Public healthcare options.

From what I know, you can't, I'm Mexican...

@hectorpast7 Actually, you can enroll as a resident but for IMSS there is a small annual fee and you can’t have any pre-existing conditions. Most people do not qualify due to the pre-existing issue. You can apply for what was Seguro Popular which later became INSANE ABI and has since changed again. The fee free health care does not really consist of many services and some of the free locations don’t even have the basics such as alcohol. Also, if you get major surgery, you can be liable for a majority of the surgery cost.

Awesome, do your research and I wish you an early welcome to Mexico. You will love it here!!!!!

@Rene Lopez As long as your land or home purchases are not near the border, you can purchase as a resident or foreigner now with no problem. Also, make sure you save all your fathers documentation in case later you choose to nationalize and then pass that to your children. Leaving your options open is always good thing…..😀

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Awesome... Thank you

I am also not sure of getting citizenship for myself and son. I have heard if you ever have a problem USA will not assist you as you are a Mexican citizen.

Technically you already have Mexican citizenship under Mexican law.

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL Someone said that I could not pass my nationalized citizenship to my children... I need to investigate further

@Cris C. Castillo Thanks, I was just starting out back then. Hopefully I am slowly but surely improving.,

You are totally correct. It happens in the US also. It happens everywhere! That is the point of the video. Personal Safety and Security are precautions you must take no matter where you are! This is not a Mexico is more dangerous video! The reason for this video is that some people who come here somehow build a false sense of security or convince themselves that since the US is dangerous or more dangerous, they can let their guard down here. That isn’t the case.

@aquan225 Hey there! Thanks so much for watching the video. Please keep in mind that this is one of my earlier videos when I first started my KZfaq journey.

Your continued support and feedback help me to grow and better serve the community. Cheers!

@Phil Schiavone Actually, that's what some people do and Mexico happens to be a community property country so the spouse is protected. Also, there are other ways of buying homes near the beach such as purchasing the house through a trust. I cover that in my Relocating to Mexico NO BULL Show Episode 2. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7tha7OG3bWUhKs.html

@Daygo Boi Thank you for your feedback….We have changed out intro since then. Thanks for visiting!😀

I have taken that feedback back along with yours very seriously and have hoped I have improved with my more recent videos. Thanks to the feedback from the community I have grown and continue to grow. Once again. Thanks for the valuable feedback. I hope I have succeeded in taking out a lot of the fluff in my videos with my recent videos. Thanks!

@Pern Yes, I am still learning. I just started on KZfaq 6 months ago. I have been working on improving. Thanks for the feedback. Actually, I have worked on shortening the intro. I learn something new every day on this journey and strive to improve! Thanks for your valuable feedback….It really matters to me!

@@RetiredLifeinMexicoNOBULL I was about to delete my comment because the level of quality information is very high. And you deserve 5 out of 5 stars. I'm also considering to get my MX dual citizenship because my father lives and owns property in DF and Zacatecas. The plan is for me to move to DF and manage the rental property there and retire. I will not relinquish my USA citizenship. I think maybe being a MX permanent resident might be the best recourse. Thank you and you are awesome.
