website: Preview Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Real Estate Listings Facts About Living in Mexico In 2011, safety of living in Mexico is still most people's first concern. Ask any gringo living in Mexico if he / she feels safe living in Mexico. The answer will be yes - I know, I ask real people and don't depend on sensational news stories. There are sensational news stories about Mexicans getting killed in gunfights or beheadings. Most of these are people involved in drugs or something illegal. Yes, an occasional bystander is affected (or in a celebrated case of a US Consular employee in Cd. Juarez, a case of mistaken identity), but mostly not. How many news stories have there been about gringos, tourists or foreign residents who were not using or involved with drugs, being involved? No one really knows the answer to that, since we don't always know all the facts. If you don't want to believe that's fine, just don't consider moving to Mexico because you already have the wrong attitude. Living in Mexico is a good decision for many people. The U.S. embassy in Mexico City estimates that there are more than 1,000,000 Americans living in Mexico. An estimated 500,000 Canadians live in Mexico, at least part-time. The Mexican economy is tied to the US economy. In 2009, the USA economy tanked. In 2011 it may be recovering, depending on whether the person you are talking to has a job or not. Mexico did not crater like the USA, (probably because there are few mortgages and less credit card debt) but their economy is challenged too. Inflation is up. Prices are up - BUT the Mexican peso declined by 30% to 40%. That is good for you if your income is in dollars. You can live comfortably renting in Mexico now for less than you could have in 2006! I think it is fair to say you can live comfortably in well-known gringo destinations in Mexico for about $25,000 to $30,000, single, or $30,000 to $40,000, for a couple, a year in most places. It is still possible to live on $12,000 to $15,000, single, or $16,000 to $22,000, couple, or less in some non-gringo locations, if you are really frugal. That’s about what I live on in the States. In 2011, I met a young lady (67) whose income is only Social Security and she lucked into a small apartment in Ajijic, Jalisco, on Lake Chapala. So never say never. Housing in gringo areas is comparable to many parts of the United States. Rentals are more reasonable than buying. There is (generally) no discernible relationship between the value of houses for sale and the amount of rent charged. Don’t Move To Mexico If … If you are moving to Mexico only because you think living in Mexico is cheaper than living the United States or Canada, you are moving for the wrong reason. My advice: Don’t live in Mexico. If you are moving to Mexico only because of the weather, you're moving for the wrong reason. If you are the sort of person who has to have things your own way, the way everything “should” work out according to you, you will be very unhappy living in Mexico. Many go-getters live in Mexico and have adjusted very well. They were ready to leave their old ways of doing things behind and have embraced new ones, where there is always an element of surprise to planned events. If you have only been to the beach resorts or to the interior tourist destinations, you do not have an accurate picture of Mexico. If you have only vacationed there, you do not have an accurate picture of living there. Do Move To Mexico If ... If the lower cost and the wonderful climate
are factors, but your main reason for choosing Mexico is that you love the
people, are flexible, and want some adventure in your life, you are moving
for the right reasons and will probably be happy there. While much has changed about living in Mexico, and much has improved, Mexico is still Mexico. That means that Mexico is unique. Mexico has a culture that changes slowly, no matter how technocratic the government is. Overall, it is easier to live in Mexico today than it was ten years ago, and much easier than it was twenty years ago. By easier, I mean that the day-to-day interactions with places you need to interact with is getting utilities is simpler. You can pay many of your bills online instead of having to stand in line to do so. Some bureaucratic barriers are lower, though none have actually been dropped, to my knowledge. You can get a phone or a cell phone without taking out a loan. There are Wal-Marts and Sam's Clubs and Office Depots and Home Depots and Starbucks and so on in most towns of any size. It seems like more people speak English, which would be expected since it is taught in school and more people are going to school than 20 years ago.
