I have a couple of neighbors that are selling their homes in California, and one is moving to Cabo San Lucas and the other to GDL= Guadalajara, Mexico. I have a co-worker who retired and moved to GDL. I went to visit him back in the fall. GDL is so Beautiful. The homes are absolutely beautiful and modern. I give my props to the building designers and pool designers. The weather is like Los Angeles, California and so much Greenery. I loved it. It has grown so much since the last time I had been there in 1980 when I was 20 years old. I went with a couple of Buddies of mine which are no longer living. Miss them so much! Now I am 67, Boy how time fly's.

I've lived in Ajijic for 3 1/2 years now and I absolutely love it. The weather, the delicious natural food, and most of all the sweet friendly people. I'M a better person here!

Merida has its own international airport. You don’t have to go to Cancun.

I have lived in Mexico for 20 years. It is not any cheaper now to live here Things have changed a lot. We are now moving to Arizona it's cheaper. Do your research.

Guadalajara here I come.. Eventually 😅

Thanks for a great video!

Interesting. Well done. Thank you.

Playa del Carmen!! 🏖️🇲🇽

Hey bro I am your big fan I always follow your videos on youtube.

Have you factored-in the strong Pesos exchange rate? as of today, it’s new high 1USD:16.7MX$, when you’re showing those numbers in US Dollars, look more like for 2 years ago, when 1USD was able to get 20 Pesos, but nowadays, expenses in Mexico pesos to US Dollar has increased at least 30% comparing last year

Mexico, great country!

My parents retire in Mazatlan in 2025 they can't wait, it's mainly Canadian expats but theres Americans also

To the narrator, accents in Spanish indicate the syllable stressed. In Spanish, the default stress is the second to last syllable. An accent indicates when another syllable should be stressed. With the name Cristobal, since there is no accent indicating otherwise, the stress falls on the “to” pronounced “toe” , as the second to last syllable.

You didnt mention the unbearable heat and humidity in Merida

Merida is a cartel "hands off" or protected city. Yes, it is one of, if not the most, safest cities in Mexico.

Some of the photos have nothing to do with the cities described. I wasn't aware that there was a major river running through Mazatlán or that there was a luxury house perched on a hill overlooking what looks like a rural town with mountains in the background.

San Cristobal is considerably cooler than it's lower lying neighbour, Tuxtla Gutierrez, and this is a good thing! Unless you enjoy temperatures of 40+ in the summer

Great summary!!

The Dominican Republic is cheaper !!!!

CHEAP. This is this word thst causes housing is going up so fast in Mexico and other countries causing the locals to not be able to afford rent in their own country try. American using the word " cheap" everywhere thry go.

I just love being an expat!

This no way it’s super expensive I was ther last week November 2023 it’s very expensive The coffe in cheep store 50 mex like $3.5 ice cream 180 mex $10😂😂😂 No way no way I’m very disappointed

No one mentions...can you get things fixed rapidly and efficiently? Say, the washer and Dryer, or whatever?

Mexico is great if you stay out of the tourist town. I have spent the last year here I have mixed emotions. But it is 90% cheaper than the United States if you are a minimalist. And know this the Mexican women are not that interested in us if you're still of the dating age.

Was this video made 20 or more years ago?? The information is not accurate at all!!

Seems to me you missed the jewel of the desert Chihuahua!

Merida's population is actually 1,240,000

Have you checked costs in Mexico lately? It’s not cheap any more.

KAREN PLEASE STAY IN USA DONT MOVE TO MEXICO....

Mexico is actually getting more expensive.

Monterrey should be on this list

❤❤

It's great to have 3x more money than the locals, isn't it @Across The Globe?

You mean immigrants ‼️ not expats not nomads but immigrants ‼️🤨 What you guys don't like to be called immigrants‼️ Only for thee but not for me, mentality 🤔🫤 in my country Mexico 🇲🇽 any foreigner living there is an immigrant‼️like or not‼️ Same thing you call us, Mexicans even when we're in our own land in the other side of tge board‼️ we're immigrants, so are you in Mexico ‼️

GO FOR IT EXPECT A NIGHTMARE OF LIVING . I RATHER BE HOMELESS IN DA UNITED STATES THAN LIVE IN MEXICO .

❤

Oh no

San Miguel de Allende?

If it's so great to live there, then why are thousands of people coming to the US from Mexico?

Mazatlán 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Expats? Inmigrants

Greed is ruining Mexico too.

Lo barato sale caro! Nothing is cheap anymore and anywhere in Mexico! Cheap compared to what? Retire in Mexico? But where Anywhere? Best place to retire is where you presently live! I love the English countryside in the outskirts of London, that's where I wound go if I had the chance! I'm a Mexican citizen from Ciudad Obregon, a retired airline pilot living in La Paz Baja California Sur , BCS MEXICO since 2012! I know my country! And I know 90 % of the rest of the world! The Mexican drug war (also known as the Mexican war on drugs an ongoingasymmetric armed conflict!!!! A Wave of Violence Terrorizes Mexico as Criminals Kill With Impunity The latest killings have left dozens of Mexicans dead and few held accountable despite insecurity being the public’s top priority by an overwhelmed mexican government! US tourists beware: Popular Mexico getaway plagued by drug cartel intimidation and violence Drug cartels in Mexico: How rampant violence is taking hold of the country Criminal organizations have splintered into more than 100 groups and are wreaking havoc on the population, with bodies dumped on streets, students kidnapped and schools forced to close due to shootings There is not a corner of Mexico where drug traffickers are not present. Gone are the years of the all-powerful drug cartels, which divided up large territories like pieces of cake and agreed to truces when mounting death tolls started to hurt business. More people are being killed than ever. And in some states, neither the presence of the Mexican army nor local authorities have been able to stop it. In Mexico, there are at least 150 organized crime gangs, according to the latest criminal map presented by a group of researchers from Mexico’s prestigious Center for Economic Research and Teaching (CIDE). This is a huge rise from 2006, when the number of drug gangs could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

I don't understand that if Mexico is such an amazing country to live, why are all the Mexicans moving to the USA?!

Mazatlán bonito confortable y muy muy peligroso todo México muy peligroso

I live in North Carolina and it's much cheaper and who wants to live in Mexico

Costa Rica is way better!

Why are all the Mexicans leaving then?

Not so sure about Mazatlan😳

I just don understand Americans want to retire in mexico a country that Donald trum declare to invade 😅😅😢😢😢
