I think you’re right? This is ny send video on older expats and both are very popular!

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico I think you would want to make your approach in an organized way explaining the "key differences" HUGE about how Mexican culture respects the elderly but MOST importantly allows the elderly to die at home with DIGNITY and their money going to their children .... The perverse USA system involves mandatory hospitalization sticking needles in people when they should let to die peacefully at home... Also, the perverse USA system is a "cash-cow" for hospitals... Finally, the perverse USA system DEPLETES all remaining inheritance for surviving family members... The one thing I do NOT like is that the Mexican system is starting to mimic the USA system with assisted living .. OBVIOUSLY its still a bargain BUT a bad trend IMO... Good luck !

I am looking for source of independent living facilities, coming from US. Lovely home

@@susannbasta2972 FORGET MEXICO... Siem Reap Cambodia is the BEST value for living and honest in-home care ! Will cost you a fraction of even Mexico !!!! Mexico is being destroyed by cartel infiltration of local businesses ... Dont go !

You can do it! I'm happy to share and help people see possibilities.

is the best time because the doctors .medicine are very cheap and sometimes its free

You should do it

Bien dicho❤❤❤

tengo desconfianza de esas comunidades privadas, mentalidad anglo de privatizar todo, similar como el acceso a Playas y calles, vivi en Playa del Carmen a principios de los 90's y habia un Americano que puso rejas a la entrada de unos cenotes que no eran de su propiedad por cierto, mi experiencia y opinion Saludos desde Australia esperando regresara a Mexico

I think most people prefer to not live in a nursing home. I also think people move more in the US. I live about 1000 miles from my mom. That’s rather common. And people are having fewer kids too.

Come on down! Everyone's welcome in "the rest of America!"

Of course Mexico it’s in America but different than United state of North America hopefully that your are paying taxes in Mexico like we have to pay in your country

Love Mexico from Canada 🇨🇦

Come to USA and chew on your own words.

Y tan mal que tratan a los mexicanos en usa y otros países! Irónico y triste

No son bienvenidos porque ellos no pagan los impuestos y si viene turistas a vivir en México en cada lugar que vivan aumenta la comida rentad todo aumenta y ellos muy campantes que vengan los turistas solo a visitar pero no a vivir y si no sabes ahórrate tus comentarios todos bobos

@@Rochodel estas totalmente equivocado nunca as vivido en usa

That's great Lisa. Thanks for sharing! I'm assuming the purple hospital doesn't expect you to provide care for the hospitalized person, correct? In public hospitals, the family is expected to stay in the room to help with things like going to the bathroom. I'm guessing that's not the case in the private hospitals.

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico I had no duties while my husband was hospitalized, like the government public hospitals require that you bring your own nurse or family member take care of you. This was many years ago, but if memory serves me, Dr. Beltran was the urologist. Everything was taken care of, but we did have to pay with our credit card upon Jon being moved from ER into surgery. I think the operation (surgeon, anesthesiologist, biopsies, etc.) was slightly under US $5,000 … I think this was in 2011.

You are so kind - thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I'd love to take you up on the beers someday ;-)

I hear he can be bribed with Margaritas. @@AlmostRetiredinMexico

Thanks. At first I wanted to do this video for children of aging parents. But you’re right - it’s pretty universal.

I wish I could get my mom to move down! Have fun!!

❤❤❤yes, agreed! Thank you Brighton for these varied and valuable conversations!!!

Thank you! I love using this channel as an "excuse" to interview and get to know people!

Thanks Cindy. I should probably look into doing a similar video in Cabo or Nuevo Vallarta. Somewhere that you could recreate Chicago without the snow. For those people who want to experience as different type of Mexico!

Glad you enjoyed it Jake!

Thanks Pablo. You need to come back to the warmth!

Our pleasure!

Driving in La Paz is probably easier than much of Mexico. Folks from the mainland say we "drive like grandmas" here ;-)

I’m not sure - but the dogs (and the one cat I met) were all very sweet!

Which suburb? I'm originally from Franklin / Hales Corners.

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico im from west bend wi just north of Milwaukee not far from hales corners

I agree! I need more dog-stars in my videos!

Thank you! Will do!

Thank you so much! I think so too.

Reach out to @BajaLifeRealty and they can show you Haciendas Palo Verde. You don't need to become residents to own property. If you do become residents and you live in Mexico you can get tax benefits when you sell your home.

I'm happy to share. I was just glad my mom didn't pass out when I suggested I was moving her to Mexico!

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico 😂

Her husband in New Zealand passed away. Sorry I must have cut that part of the story.

Thanks! I'm sorry that entitled people are coming to Mexico. I'm trying to discourage them and only try to get the positive, polite and respectful people to come!

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico it’s not your fault I know most of you just want to live a peaceful life. without disrespecting my country and culture just teach them that they need to come here with a humble mind set.

That's great! Are you living in TJ (or nearby)?

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico no I just want them far away from me

@@sl5946 😂😂😂😂

Tisk. Funny as hell but tisk tisk anyway. @@sl5946

@si5946 los quiero lejos de mi que bonita cultura americana se desprenden de los padres así como si nada bueno es comprensibles si los padres no los trataron con cariño la diferencia es que nosotros los mexicanos amamos a nuestros padres los respetamos y siempre vemos por ellos y cuando nos faltan sufrimos y la única forma de fortalecernos es pensar que siempre están en nuestra mente y corazón y es tan único que por eso los esperamos cada año el 2 de noviembre día de los muertos pero pues para que explicarte si se ve que tienes un corazón frío y nunca entenderías que buenos o malos son los que te dieron la vida que lastima que seas una persona fría que solo quieres deshacerte de tus padres una lastima de persona

Thanks Mariana!

Thanks Dave. My mom is also a “no go” on moving to Mexico. :-( I like the idea of LP vs PV!

You could use the dueling banjo theme. @@AlmostRetiredinMexico 🪕🎸😉

@davebaker489 banjos might be right for PV, but La Paz is pure Banda!

So horns, guitars and accordions ? Oh My. @@AlmostRetiredinMexico

@@davebaker489 Is a tuba a horn? Lots of tuba!

I've reach out to a KZfaqr from Nicaragua to see about doing a "compare and contrast" video. Crossing my fingers he's up for it! I don't know much at all about other countries in Latin America!

Thanks. I was definitely frustrated with the three shot when editing. This was shot on an iPhone 13 Pro. And I’m a one man show. If I had a crew and more time, things could be different.

They are out there… finding them can be a bit of work…

Try Ajijic, Jalisco Mexico we are about 30 miles from Guadalajara and there’s a large ex-pat community. We are not in the desert so lots of flowers and lush greenery also there’s a beautiful lake with communities around this lake. Good doctors and hospitals are in the area. Check this place out.

​@luisgomez3936 thank you 😊

I agree! I only visited Ajijic and Chapala. Which others should I put on my list for my next visit?

@AlmostRetiredinMexico Well bud I only know those areas. I think which are better esp for Expats and our moms that speak just English. There is some amazing homes here..assisted and more like apartments with close by help, buttons, communities,,ect. My Mom and I both meet ya with Craig and Kj.

I have close to 300 videos on my channel about moving from the US/Canada to Mexico. Do you have a particular video you'd like to see? I'm always open to suggestions.

This is a great point. I know that opiods are much more restricted in Mexico. But I don't know much about it. If I find more information - I'll be sure to make a video.

I’ll see if I can capture that! I have a video about a different cancer treatment: Beating Cancer in Mexico kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a79jfMmCx53QoJc.html

You can probably build a house for $100k USD

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Did we say something negative about Central Mexico?

The guy with curly gray hair and glasses?

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico You reminded me of him. I buy shoes from xero shoes.

I did not bring it to Wisconsin for the wedding (where I shot the intro to this video with my mom.)
