I think they'll like it long term as many other expats have. But I too would like a follow up video.

I Don't know what this couple eat, because I saw in Ixtapa area Zihuatanejo one clean chicken cost of 150 Mexican pesos, was I at the wrong place??

You can’t have legal residency on less than a thousand a month if applying for residency now in Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, or Panama. No legal residency, no medical care. Benevolent stereotypes are also very misleading. Once you have medical expenses, thing get crunchy. I qualified for legal residency in Nicaragua when the minimum was $600 a month and grandfathered in on that. Costs have been going up every year, and $1k now is sensible.

Maud Smith, you would not be qualified for legal residency on that income.

Evalina yes when you live in Mexico the amount of pesos you received from the US dollar goes up and down. Today it's approximately 17 pesos for one dollar. I remember at one time when it was 10 pesos for one US dollar.

In the U.S. your utilities are easily $100 to 400 per month. Property taxes are often 2-4k, car insurance 1-3k, home insur 1k, dr visits at least 100-200, eating out 7-25, class b rv can run you 80-150k, health insur 6-10k a year,. In Mexico my sister in law pays 5 a month for electricity, 10 for water, 100 for property taxes, no home insur (made of cement -not concerned with fires nor tornados) , you can often get taxis for 5-10, eating our from 2-12, dr visits from 3 to 30, car insurance for maybe 250 a year, you can rent a home from 100 to 1000 a month (of course there are much more expensive one available) and you can buy health insurance for 500 to 2k a year. I understand retirees can get into the seguro social- social security - health plan, which could be even less expensive. the small dr visits are best not to go to seguro social only the bigger things like operations.

a.t Macdonald have to agree there are lots of other expenses that add up too much. Can see living in Mexico six months of winter.

I think that would be helpful and informative. Thank you, Jerry for all you do.

Please!

Jerry Brown Travels Hi Jerry. I’ve been watching many of your videos plus some others, and I’m very interested in moving to that area of Mexico. Most of the videos I watch are relative to one’s income; retirement, Social Security etc. Anyone considering this, like myself, needs to be prepared and researching all the aspects is a must. I’m commenting here because I was really curious if the couple in this video is actually living on just 1k per month? They stated their rent was $730.00 so with that in mind, how are they able to afford actual day to day living expenses? I did notice that somewhere within the content of this video that they were living on 3k per month in the USA. Though their business is actually none of mine (Lol), I’m really just trying to figure out how I can live comfortably and “thrive” there while living on a retirement income. Thriving is my quest. I know for certain that I want to retire there, but being able to thrive and not just barely survive is important for me. I’m sure it’s important to most of the other retirees as well. Maybe you could find these individuals and possibly do a follow up interview to see how they are doing? Are they thriving and happy living on 1k per month between the two of them? Also, I will continue to watch your videos for more information related to retirement and how to live happy and simply. You and your wife seem like great people, very nice and caring...I really enjoy your vlogs and hope you both are happy and doing well. Thank you both so much for sharing! 😎🙃😊

Mexico Place To Retire 2017 Voted #1 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5ubaJmGpr2VqY0.html Traveling in Mexico if you are Disabled If you are disabled or have low mobility, Mexico can be a challenging place to get around in. In recent years, some improvements have been made to help disabled people get-around more easily in public places, hotels, restaurants and some tourist attractions, and while progress is being made, you cannot expect to see accessibility levels like those in the US, Canada and western Europe.By planning your trip carefully, and staying at higher-end hotels or resorts (which are more recently built or refurbished with modern design and thus the architecture caters for accessibility), you will find that you will be able to better enjoy your visit Mexico.Planning Tips for Disabled Travelers to MexicoUse a Travel Agent: A good travel agent that specializes in Mexico will have local knowledge and local contacts and should be able to provide advice and recommendations based on your specific needs. If you have it in mind to visit certain places that interest you, ask your agent about these as the agent may also be able to make special arrangements for you.Airports are much more accessible than bus stations, so we recommend you fly to your destination, or as close as possible to it. Mexico’s Luxury buses may suit some low-mobility travelers.Choose modern or refurbished hotels/resorts: modern buildings have accessible designs, and this includes many of the newer resorts and hotels across Mexico. Modern beach-side resorts tend to be close to international airports which will make the connections to and from the airport easier and quicker.Taxis and airport transfers: You can use local taxis, or App-cab services where available, or airport transfer services (some airport transfer services may offer disabled access vehicles) although public transport in the form of local buses is inadequate for the disabled in Mexico.Car rental: If you plan to sight-see various places during your visit, consider renting a car locally so that you and your party can visit the places you want to see with the flexibility an independent car provides. Contact the car rental agency directly and ask them about the availability of vehicles featuring Adaptive Driving Devices like hand controls, left foot accelerators, spinner knobs, and pedal extenders; with advance notice they may be able to arrange these for you. Also speak with your travel agent about accessibility at the places you plan to visit (e.g. archaeology sites, theme parks) or call/email the places ahead of time to ask for guidance.Parking: Most public car parks in main towns and cities have at least one accessible car parking space, and usually several. Major shopping malls and supermarkets feature accessible car parking spaces in their lots now.Ask for Assistance: If you find yourself in a place that seems inaccessible (for example, it may appear that there is no elevator), don’t be afraid to ask for assistance. For example, there might be a service elevator that you could use, and helpful attitudes from staff can sometimes come up with improvised support solutions.

Bill look at this video and I make some recommendations. I hope this helps. They may not have websites. You may want to get an air B&B reservation before you come down and then look around for a cheaper place. You'll want to stay in history of the area of Ajijic. See link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oal3jNiltJeRd58.html

Kim Wayman Is $3,000 a month 'well off' for that area?

You should do fine with that amount. But recommend renting a furnished place for a bit to see if you like it. Be prepared to walk a lot and own a car. Never give the police your drivers license, show through the window.

$3K a month will afford you an upper middle class lifestyle in most of Asia and Eastern Europe. Lake Chapala area is nice but not a place to stretch your dollar.

Thanks for the info.!

They can apply for a retiree visa. they need to prove so much income per month. monthly income with a minimum average balance of $2,000 us dollars at the end of the month. FOR INVESTORS, the last twelve months statements of the financial institution, showing $80,000 us dollars as an average balance at the end of the month. If the prospective immigrant applies also for the admission of members of his immediate family, the minimum income required will be the equivalent of 25% additional per month for each member.

Unfortunately I don't have that information.

Donald the best thing to do his contact a Mexican consulate in your area and ask them how much money you need as income to get a temporary or permanent visa. If you do not qualify you can get the tourist visa that is good for six months and you do not have to show any monthly income but you need to leave the country every six months and reapply. All you need to do is cross the border and come right back into Mexico. Donald we have new videos let me give you more information on Mexico every week as a subscriber.

WHICH REQUIRES ALL KINDS OF PAPER WORK (THAT I DONT EVEN HAVE ANYMORE) ONLY BECAUSE I BECAME A US CITIZEN BEFORE MEXICO MADE IT OK TO HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP!! WHICH I FIND VERY TYPICAL OF MEXICO TO "PULL" STUFF LIKE THIS! BTW...THEY HAVE NEW PROCEDURE AT BORDER (INTO MEXICO) WHERE MEXICANS JUST GO THRU AND ALL OTHERS HAVE TO FILL OUT A FORM AND GET LIKE A 90 DAY STAMP OR WHATEVER AND I WAS TOLD AT CONSULATE THAT IF I AM FOUND IN MEXICO SANS STAMP I WILL BE DEPORTED TO THE US!!...WHICH I FIND ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS BUT AGAIN...THAT'S "MY GOOD OL' MEXICO"!!
