I'm happy for this Lady .Glad it's working out for her.

I live in Philly right now and am anticipating my escape date. She really was gentle when speaking about Kensington. Theres tons of videos on youtube showing Kensington, please look them up, but STILL, nothing can prepare you for it, you have to see it for yourself up close, to really get it, the severity of that place. Yes, its always been bad but it is the WORST its ever been, getting worse daily and still, people in North Philly and the area of K&A, friends of mine that live near there, will gasp in terror, grab their head and tell me with so much fear in their voice that I need to be careful when I visit Mexico cuz its dangerous. Meanwhile they can’t sit in their own living room for fear of shots randomly flying thru the window or go outside without seeing syringes on their front stoop…🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️Americans need to wake up. This lady was awesome hope she gets back to MX soon with her permanent residency! All the best to her!

BEEN IN MEXICO FOR 22 YEARS ,TRUCK DRIVER CAINT GO BACK TO US TO LIVE

I just got a cheeseburger and onion rings, Puyallup Washington 30 dollars... I'm thinking of Learning that Español

Loved every minute of this. I am from Philly and used to live in Kensington 16 years ago. It was and still is HORRIBLE and DANGEROUS! I live in ChestnutHill now, on the advise of my Mom, been here for 15 years and it is EXPENSIVE! I am so over either high crime or high prices in the USA. Thank you for this information!

I love Queretaro, and over 60 years visiting and living in Acapulco. I am 80 now, and have been here since 2021 My friends have always been the locals. Some nice and some not so nice, so I blocked them, without anger. Please block your doors, for dishonest security will try to push their way in, and the same in the USA. They will be carried out, if they mess with this 81 years young. Chicagoan. Mexico is my second and final home. I tried to stay in the USA, but at 79, I had to leave for some evil demons feel because I am older, they can just get a key, and open my door at all hours, but my door were heavily blocked, and booby trapped. Get in and be carried out. i was 20, when I went alone to San Antonio from Chicago, and picked up a tour group for 2 weeks. Being born and raised in Chicago, I am never afraid, but some how demons knew the gates of hell will open on them, for I was always ready to defend myself. i will never feel safe, until I die, but I enjoy every day of my 81 years. .

Love this conversation.❤ Wow 400 for a one-bedroom including utilities that is unbelievable. Love it

Great conversation, Cartess. Blessings to your guest for peace and prosperity in her new home.🙋🏾‍♀️

I'm so happy for Cass! She loves living in Merida, has new friends, is way less stressed, and plans to make her move to MX permanent!

I enjoyed this episode. She seems very relaxed and happy about her stay.

I’m so very happy for you and excited for me! I’m setting my plan in motion right now. I have a few more years before my two youngest are finished with college and it’s on! 🙌🏾

Born and raised in Seattle and later moved to Philadelphia (loved it) just recently returned from Playa Del Carmen Mexico 🇲🇽 definitely going to make the move!! Love your channel 💕

You need to do a reunion for all the people you have helped moved to Merida. So they can make connection and have friends to get out and do stuff together.

Great info can't wait until the next live.

I love her! So down to earth! Such a beautiful and smart woman.

Another great and informative video. Thank you!!

I'm just working on getting the income, because as soon as I have the income I'm on my way. 🥰

Really enjoyed this video! GOALS!!!

Business owner to business owner... You shouldn't have to pay attorneys and other professionals to speak on your channel. They should sponsor the video or they should do it free for the advertisement they are getting.

I enjoy you videos they are informative and positive. I love How you encourage people to step out and live 😊

Great interview!

wishing her the best

Great convo. Just saw the last part of your video. As I paused your video when I made previous comment. Hopefully, she gets back real soon.

Good luck on getting your residency. Thank you.

Great conversation. She has a great perspective on life. Get that MX residency. It’s worth it!! 👍🏾

I am so happy I stumbled upon this video. I am also at that point in my life where I want adventure and the cool thing is, I can work from anywhere. Thank you for this video!

I love this!

I’m so happy for you!! I can’t wait until that’s me.

Omg, I’m so happy for you, my friend.

Thanks.. really enjoyed that lady.. I am headed to the Philippines in November or December but if I was not I would be heading for Merida.. I would like to be that lady's bar buddy for sure🥂.. she has a wonderful laid-back attitude that is relaxing to be around.. you all have a nice group of people down there.. hello from south Louisiana🐊🐊🦞🦞🫕🫕🎸💃🕺🍺🍻😎🤗

Great interview the more I watch these talks the closer I get to coming to Merida and I’m making moves to make that happen.

Omg MS. CASS 💕❤️ !! It’s Torrie😭 this is so cool!!!

I went to Columbia this year, the people were very nice and helpful even though we spoke by Google translate. I understand what she is saying. I was surprised when I came back to US and people were so unfriendly.🎉🎉🎉

This is awesome Cass.

I will be visiting ur thrive website. I looking to relocate next year 😊

I know her sentiments. I can walk to everything I need or want within my neighborhood in Zapopan (GDL). Love it!

How does your family like living in Mexico? I looked up where y’all are and am happy to learn that y’all are supposedly in one of the safest towns in Mexico! It’s certainly a very beautiful place. What would you say you missed most about the states? Thanks for letting us live vicariously through your videos. It definitely makes me want to visit seeing how well you are doing here. ❤

I do not know if I like your channel, you are persuading all of the exceptional citizens of the United State to move to Merida. I am kidding you. This woman you are interviewing is so happy living in Merida. You need to have a show for all the people who moved to Merida because of you. Exceptional show. I live near Prescott, AZ and the rents have doubled here over the last four years and rentals are hard to come by. A one bedroom apartment is $1200 a month plus utilities. I could not live in Merida, too hot and humid for me. I envy all of you that can tolerate the heat and humidity. Thank you so much for all you do for people.

very inspiring

Man, if you want a 2BR/1BA apartment that is about 1,000 sq. ft. in Berkeley, CA, you're gonna pay $2,800 - $3,300 per month PLUS UTILITIES! No chance of retiring here!

I was a vanlife nomad too before I moved to Mexico. Love it here too.

Hello sir. Just found your channel. Great information. Love the channel.

Welcome to Mexico!!!!!!!!

Oakland CA, Unsafe and expensive on social security. Enjoy your content. It's between Puerta Viarta and Merida, but haven't been to Mexico. Hoping to come in April to one of these 2 cities! ❤

Quality of Life🥰🥰

I felt the same way when I was living in Merida , at ease 😊

Hello I wish you guys would have showed some pictures

I’m so happy for her and hear my country is giving you that opportunity to live better and have a new experience You need to go to cenote is beautiful I went Chukum so beautiful only $150 pesos all day

Hi. I'm new to this channel. Not sure where you're located. I love her story Thank you

Merida has some of the most contempt people in the world! Hard working but family oriented. Merida is having a metamorphosis with companies investing in that area. Meridians are wonderful humans. Enjoy it there!

Glad she found somewhere that she loves and that is affordable. I have gone to Mexico many times. I do know there is crime everywhere and not reported the same from country to county. Just be aware of your surroundings. Be adventurous and try new places.

I've found my people❤

Great video! I would love to spend 3 mos/yr in Mexico.

I would love to hang out with her. I am here in Merida in Gran Santa Fe.

Lady you are speaking the truth, I know Kensington Ave very well, and I can say it's horrible, and don't forget Detroit, Oregon, LA NY, Miami, every state in America is worse than Mexico. I love Mexico I will be moving there very soon. Ok family, thanks for the video, Have a blessed weekend.

Merida sounds so wonderful. I'm working on getting the money to move to Mexico, but it's hard when I have to pay so much for rent and utilities. I've started selling and giving away everything I own. I'm determined that next year, I'll be in Mexico.

I’m disabled and have ssi, I hope my family can experience life there.

I followed her on KZfaq!

I live in TN and you can't rent anything at all in my area for less than 1000.00 and you'd be lucky if that included water. It definitely wouldn't include anything else. I own my home, well me and the bank own ot, lol, but it's almost paid off. I'm hopeful I could sell it and use those funds to buy something there. I know I'd have to rent something at first though and since money is a big motivator for me 400.0p all inclusive sounds great to me. Another motivator is the weather. Last year Canada got drunk and sent their weather down here. We had temperatures of 0 and less Fahrenheit. Then the electricity went out and stayed out for 3 days. It was awful. The roads were covered in ice so I couldn't go anywhere. My husband (RIP) had a generator but I have no clue how to operate it and no one could come help me so me and my 2 dogs put on layers of clothes and I did the best I could to keep us huddled and coveted up in the bed. I'm use to high Temps with high humidity, but I'll never get used to Canadian weather in TN with no electricity .

Great video, I am so happy it is working out for you, Cass. I had to laugh when you were talking about the laundry service. I have been vacationing in Puerto Morelos for many years and when I first got my laundry done it was like a miracle. You take a pile of dirty clothes and get back a nice warm package. And for very little money. Cartess, watching your videos is very enjoyable for me, I have to come visit, I think it is 4 hrs away from Puerto Morelos on the bus, although I think I need to be closer to the beach.

That is so great, and so refreshing to hear that. This lady is enjoying enjoying her retirement. Those are you can get on that float get to mexico And enjoy your retirement financial free period Those of you that feel this is for everyone, it's not because you can't move your entire family to Mexico. There's no jobs for non-hispanic people, so your children, your grandchildren, your niece's nephew's aunt and Uncle's a whom ever you're involved within the states. They won't be able to make a living there. Hard check comes every month as long as she's Breathing. I've had friends talk with me About relocating good at wishing the best. But don't rely on people and other family members. To assist your children, your grandchildren. Your aunt, your Uncle, your parents. Why? You laid up the Mexico period.

I really enjoy your videos although Merida is just too hot year round for me to consider. I wish there was someone like you for every city and country I'm interested in. I think I'll just tourist hop for awhile or perpetually. I'm currently retired and living in my 5rh wheel to make ends meet Like your guest I would enjoy being able to afford eating out and going to the salon. Best wishes.

I’m about to call him too.

Would your mind giving us a tour of your home

Hi Cass it’s Estella! I’m so happy for you. I was in Merida in May for to weeks.

This is wonderful. I'm receiving Social Security Retirement and would like to know if her Medicare part A & B will cover her there in Mexico? I'm very interested in getting additional information. Thank you for this discussion.

I am coming in March….. I will contact you in December as soon as SSI arrives…Almost all of my things are gone. Only interested in bringing my 1 suitcase.. I goal is 2024

Because she went into Mexico prior to 2022, she got in on regularization without high income requirements that are in place now.She would have to show a monthly income of $3200 a mo.

$400 utilities included? Yes please!

Cartress, do you do phone consultations. I need to speak with you ASAP Re moving my mother there. Thank you

what about healthcare there?

❤❤❤

WAS A TRUCK DRIVER FOR 23 YEARS

🎉🎉🎉

Well it is places in the USA you could live comfortable like Iowa, or Milwaukee it cold but you live good. And have money left over.

Please AA visit the Africa. It has opportunities for blacks too and you won’t have to worry about racism like in the US. God bless this lovely lady. So happy for her finding happiness there.

$2,000 a month here in Oakland will maybe get you a studio apartment…maybe.

It's definitely more expensive in L.A ..$2,000 for a studio

Unfortunately SS of $1800 USD per month isn't enough to qualify for temporary residency visa requirements anymore.

Question….why are the immigrants coming from Mexico to America to live and people from the states moving to Mexico?

Is Internet or something like DirectTV availability??? Where is nearest airport??

I'm interested in knowing more about living a better life on SSDI

I know that you can keep your SSD if you leave the states because it’s based on your work history, but for SSI make sure you check with your state’s social security office to confirm if you can keep receiving SSI if you move abroad with no home base or address in the states. ❤

I’d love to have you at my home to visit. I watch you so much and now Im here. I live in Las Américas in a 7 bedroom house with a pool and two full kitchens. I Can provide a different view of Merida as I don’t love it but I’m getting used to it. My daughter goes to a beautiful private school with Olympic size swimming pools, tennis etc. if you’re interested please feel free to hit me up. Didn’t know how to contact you so I just wrote a post here.

Please stop speaking of the low prices!! this is giving them ideas to hike up the prices 😮

How safe would it be for an older woman?

Are there places for vegan, organic raw food seniors?😊

Did she drive over? From where to where?

Wht would she do bcuz of her age and are there alone is my question

I’m paying $2900 a month for a 4 bedroom.

It would be super helpful to see what $400 rent gets you.

Wow. Didn’t think you were that old.

When they say that a place is bad for American just know that they are not talking about black people

You are all over the place Cartess😂

Is there a video on renting short term… 2 months

Where is she living????

Is this true or fake

I thought you had to live in the U.S. to qualify for Social Security benefits.

Financial nomad.
