Re: Moved to Mexico to Retire?? Know anyone??

On 12/11/2014 Marienkaefer2 said: Mexico is a huge country with a lot of variation. To judge it based on one place you have been, as many posters here have, is narrow minded. That would be like someone visiting Chicago and learning of all the crime and homicides there, and thinking the whole US is like that. The areas where a lot of retirement communities are situated are very different, as one poster here has already pointed out. As for living outside the US, many people enjoy the lifestyle and culture of another country. Lots of people move to Costs Rica, Belize, and other Caribbean/Latin American countries. I have a friend who's been living in Belize and running a b and b for over 20 years and she loves it there. Regarding Mexico, there are many US expats there. It's not for everyone, buy you can't base your image of a country on a visit to Tijuana or what Faux News tells you.

Well stated.

There are some lovely places in Mexico that I wouldn't mind living. I love Cabo in particular.
