  • As an American who has been living in Mexico for the past 5 years, these are the 12 reasons why I'd move to Mexico this year.
    With that said, it's not right for everyone. So in this video I'm also sharing various reasons why one might not want to move to Mexico.
    Watch this video and my other videos if you'd like to know if Mexico might be right for you.

    I suffered a stroke a week after relocating to Morelia. The medical care I received was amazing! My surgery cost roughly 10k, and was in a coma for almost a month. My follow up appointments ran from $4.50 to $10.00 (USD). Had a great recovery! After living here for 2 years, we have NO complaints about anything we've seen in Mexico!

    I always tell people that if you meet a lady in Mexico make sure that you marry up not down. If her family is not upper middle class you will be expected to support her family with a range of handouts (loans?). You are not just married to your partner, you are married to her extended family.

    Great video, but it always amazes me when people talk about safety in Mexico. Compare the FBI crime stats and will see that living in the US is much less safe than in Mexico. Of course, if you are interested in getting involved in the drug trade, like in the US, you're on you're own. I lived in Mexico for many years and never once did I encounter a situation in which I felt physically vulnerable. I have been mugged twice in the US. The prejudice found in Mexico is directed primarily at the poor, just as in the US. If you have means, regardless of you skin, you can go where you want and live where you want. One thing of note, more and more lower and middle class Mexicans are being evicted from their homes so that their homes can be sold or rented to US or Canadians. And people wonder why foreigners are less welcome?

    I love Mexico! We visit there often. If I were a Mexican, I might resent Americans’ coming there to live because it tends to raise THEIR cost of living because we have more money than they do.
    When we go visit, I spend a lot and tip very heavily. My wife doesn’t speak Spanish, so even though I am not fluent, I try to conduct myself entirely in Spanish, mistakes and all.
    If you have a “borderline” not quite enough money to live in the US, in MX you will increase your standard of living at least 35% better.
    However, if you can afford it, tip at least 20-30%. Mexicans got very heavily damaged by Covid. You should do your part to help them.

    Welcome to paradise, even if it is not perfect! I moved permanently to Mexico 20 years ago upon retiring. I watch your videos and others to stay tuned with the expat community. Your videos give very good advice to new comers. They also show your progress as you learn more about this country, not only about gorgeous cities great food and diverse geography. One area lacking though is the history between the US and Mexico. Like you say some Mexicans resent the ever increasing inflow of US immigrants that are creating some hardships for some as this influx causes increasing prices for many. Historically, the vicinity of the US has been detrimental to Mexico and many Mexicans have valid reasons for concern. Have you studied the history of the relationship between the two countries? Mexico has a problem with illegal drugs production, traffic and violence only because the US has the worlds biggest market for these products. I still feel safer here than in the US.

    • @nickcormier5993
      @nickcormier5993 Рік тому

      Have you read the history of us-mx relations? Usa is the biggest consumer of almost every product. So in your logic, the states are responsable for every industry in the world. Read about Alta California and the Mexican American war and land grants and stuff like that. The relationship is way better than that now but could’ve been way worse. The American government sends billions of dollars every year to Mexico. What are we talking about here? Like what!?!? Why is the vice versa scenario of Mexicans into the USA not even brought up in any of these comments. It kinda matters to the whole discussion.

The us government wants pfizer or another pharmacy to make all the drugs they want and contribute to campaigns. Laughable to say the us wants Mexico to make their drugs. We’d rather make them here, Mexico just has them cheaper. And talk about china too dude and the influence of drugs. A la verrr

    All very valid points for both the pros and cons.

The potential dangers are never far from our minds, including carjackings. In fact, we took some extra precautions before moving here to install a cage around our catalytic converter and install a kill switch in the car.

    Hi Jordan, I've followed you from the beginning and love your channel. Thank you for continuing. I worked in the gaming industry for 18 years until covid shut down my job and has still yet to reopen. Luckily, I was going to nursing school and graduated in 2020 in the height of the pandemic, and have been employed as a nurse since. When I was in the casino industry I could take a month off every summer and spent in it in Mexico every summer with my kids... in a small pueblo south of Cancun that we love. I know nurses don't get paid much in Mexico. My plan is still to retire early in Mexico asap. Any ideas for making money besides working my tush off for 20 more years? I can deal private poker games for anyone that's interested lol or do private duty nursing for expats. If you have any idea let me know. I've also been a pyrotechnic, ran a cafe for 10 years, managed a herb and holistic center and studied herbalism for 15 years. I'm well rounded. :)

      @@cd6615 All consulates vary. I did mine in Orlando and literally just printed off my certificate of earnings from a single freelance site I use. That alone got me my residency. It's generally 2600 / last 6 months or 45k? for last 12 months on bank statements. Granted I exceeded the requirements extensively which probably helped. Regardless, you're not getting permanent residency / skipping straight to that status unless you're a retiree.

The one that is really tough is putting even #2 TP in a trash can…bleccch! In a public place or restaurant that has the trashcan in the stall, you are supposed to put #2 TP in there, too. I think most who are unaccustomed to that still flush it. It’s hard for me, too but when I have done it, I wrap it up in clean tissue.

      Aguascalientes es más segura y local que Querétaro, porque Querétaro se está convirtiendo en una trampa para turistas y mucha gente de la CDMX se está yendo a vivir para allá. Puebla es bonita pero horrible para vivir, ¡sáquenla de su lista! He vivido en las tres, y Puebla tiene muchísima más pobreza, delincuencia, población, problemas con sus servicios, etc. Horrible para vivir en la ciudad. Cholula, Puebla, quizás sería una opción; pero no le gana a Aguascalientes. Aguascalientes tiene todos los servicios, todas las tiendas, es una de las 3 ciudades más seguras del país, excelente servicio médico con muchas opciones, excelentes escuelas, tiene poca pobreza y hay mucha riqueza en el estado. La gente es más seria y hermética que en otros estados, pero sigue siendo amable y amigable. Además, es de los pocos estados donde la gente maneja bien y tranquilo, no como locos!
