  • Hi friends! In today’s video, I’m addressing the cost of living in Guadalajara, Mexico, including housing, food, transportation, healthcare, beauty services and more. Let me know if you find it useful, if there’s anything else you would have liked me to cover and/or how does the cost of living in Guadalajara compare to the cost of living where you currently reside.

    Wow! Love this Video. Very good information. I have a co-worker who moved to Guadalajara after he retired. He loves it. I had gone to visit him back in the fall of 2022. His house is in a beautiful area with lots of Greenery. The houses and the pools are extremely out of this world. My complements to the Builders and the Landscapers out there. Oh! and pool designers also. I like there is Costco out there. Maybe when I retire it will be my turn to move. to Guadalajara.

It's one or the other.

    Great video. Im half Mexican (born in el DF) and half Puertorican so I have dual American/Mexican citizenship. I’m also a registered nurse in Atlanta and once my daughter finishes college (3 years) I plan on semi-retiring early to Guadalajara. I plan on living in an apartment in the city. I’m seriously considering buying an apartment in GDL since they are currently having a construction boom of high rise apartments. My dad already retired to GDL and since I helped him get established I’m very familiar with the cost of living. Your calculations are spot on. I figure I can work 3 month travel contracts in the US and then go hangout for 3 months in GDL…rinse and repeat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      @@ClauChasesColors please tell me where they infringe the law to report it , they will lose their permit and the important thing , they are to give the prescriptions in order to re buy more antibiotic . I live in Guadalajara and even when it was medicine for my dog the pharmacy didn’t give me the prescription one time cos the veterinarian didn’t sign the prescription in both pages just the second one and the name of the antibiotic was on the first page . Be careful not to buy fake or expired medicine this governor we have doesn’t care . In 23 out of 32 states all medicines are controlled by the federal government , ruled by the president’s party , there , all treatments and medications are free and the infrastructure and service are superb. This governor we hate , just asked for the money and “he would take care of our health “. Buy at very well known drug stores but even doctor Simi generic medicines asks for prescription when it has to do with antibiotics .
