In my marriage it is understood that I am the head of my wife as it is written in the Word of The Most High, so my wife will follow me wherever I go on this earth; even if she doesn’t feel comfortable with it. We of course discuss things, but she understands I have the last say so as far as the direction of my family.

That's interesting. I'm a leader, but I've never been into the damsel in distress type shit. You see, I have a partner in life. Someone who's capable of accessing things and giving valuable input, not to second guess me, but we balance each other. I'm not perfect and when my game may be a little off, she'll provide a different perspective that I may not have thought of. No doubt that wherever, I go, my wife will come with me, but I'll always take into consideration her feelings and then We'll make a decision. 💯

I live in Merida It’s a lot of little things that make it a good place to live: You’re more physical because there’s fewer amenities (I wash clothes by hand and hang them, I walk a lot, I don’t have a dishwasher, I eat fresh foods, it’s relatively more affordable, I swim twice a day (tread water) and I jog around the block very morning) It’s not tabu to live alone. People leave you alone. There’s no pressure to date, join groups etc Life is simple here. Slow. Over time you start to appreciate the simple things Uber is cheap Beaches close by It’s easy to grow things Airport is efficient It’s a safe city A woman can walk at night and no one bothers you Breezes at night

Really. We haven't been to PDC recently, but I'll take your word for it. When we were in PDC in 2019, it was very touristy and expensive on the beach area. Mérida has also gotten more expensive lately, but still more economical than the US. HEY THX FOR WATCHING. 🤗
@debbieharry4452 3 ай бұрын
@@everythingtexmex I lived in Merida for one year. In the north. I visited Playa several times on weekend trips. My experience was playa you pay more for rent (but now the rent is similar to merida) but other things are less expensive. These are the reasons I personally found it lest costly. 1. Merida is easier to fly into if you are coming in from Houston but not anywhere else. I do not have any family in Texas. Cancun airport is international and the flights are 50%- 70% less and there are always specials going on. The flights to cancun are also 3.5 hours or less and are direct. Very fast. Flying to Merida took all day. Cancun airport is easier for folks to come and visit you. 2. Playa I did not need a car. So no expenses for that. 3. In Playa everything is in close proximity. It does not take all day to get a few errands done. You can take a taxi to costco etc. and it is only about 5 min drive in most cases. Cost is about 4 dollars. AND you don't have to wait for an UBer. The taxis wait outside of all the places you need to go. 4. You can find more affordable groceries in the local areas which are super close. 5. Restaurants and comida economicas are in walking distance. 6. Playa electric bills are WAY LESS than in Merida. You have the ocean breeze all day. You can open the window and have the fan going and it is cool. You are not locked inside the house cause of the heat. You can accomplish more with your time. Friends tell me their bill is about 60 a month if you are home all day. 7. Clothes are less expensive. Yes Playa is touristy but you can't beat the beach being right there with the breeze. At night there are 100's of people at the beach having dinner and listening to music. It is a nice mix of foreigners and locals just chatting and walking around. Folks who just get off work are there with sandwiches and tacos watching the sunset. It is not packed with people but it is a nice amount to feel safe with. If you have children it does not offer as many educational options as Merida. Merida has better medical care. But it is 3 hours away.

When you said 16% acquisition tax was that Acquisition tax.- ISAI or Acquisition ISR tax? Or was it the combination of both?

@everythingtexmex 5 ай бұрын
I just realized that I was saying 16%. I'm not sure how the breakdown between all closing cost were allocated, but when I was speaking with the attorney and jotting my notes down, he may have said 6%. When I looked at my notes it looked like I wrote 16%, which is why I kept saying it. The actual numbers that I have popping up on the screen are factual, but somewhere between my translation skills and my handwriting things went awry. All of our anticipated closing cost would come up to be around $25K which is around 6-7%. Hope this helps.

I agree. Although the materials used in Mérida residential construction (concrete and steel) are better than the wooden matcboxes they sell us in the States, the constant humidity wreaks havoc on home exteriors. You'll forever be combating leaky roofs, walls, etc.. and the sun will always fade exterior paint. (I won't mention the mold/ mildew) Renting would be my choice, which is why we decided not to buy. Once you start busting open walls to get to leaky pipes, that home will never be the same.

However, I've yet to decide if Merida is the place or something like Progreso by the beach.

Nice conversation about how family dynamics can be. Regds to what you stated, you felt stagnated and wanted to experience something different. I can relate with that. My husband is from Mexico City. We used to travel there often when the kids were young. Now we’re empty nesters. I’ve been feeling stagnant lately. Although I have 3 beautiful grandbabies between ages 8 months. to age 5, I feel guilty for wanting to leave them for “selfish“ reasons such as to live abroad to travel to new places (there’s still plenty of places we haven’t visited in Mexico) & such. However I feel I’ve done my part in raising 5 kids who are all grown, so perhaps we do deserve the opportunity to experience life in Mexico. We’ve never really lived in Mexico before. We’d only visit occasionally to visit family. I am still employed (remote worker) & my husband is retired. I was thinking of settling in Toluca Mexico. I told my husband it’ll probably be better to rent for 6 mo or a year first, before committing to a permanent resident. What if we don’t like living in Mexico after all? For your wife, I can see that she loves her children & grandchildren so much & how she gives so much of herself 💕 She’s a wonderful woman & you’re so blessed to have her in your lives. It’s a good thing you’re getting away from the stress. It’s hard leaving the grandbabies though. How long do you plan on living in Mexico City?
