Life is definitely reached past the breaking point here in the U.S. Im very good with my money but now just buying food is a struggle. Hetes a recent example: a 12 pack sliced cheese was 2.70. Two months ago it was raised to 3.99. Juice mix was 2.19 is now 2.70. Butter used to be less than 3$ for 4 sticks is now 7.00. Every month something goes up. A luxury for me is ice cream only if its on sale. Add food cost to non stop rise in utilities- a revolution is brewing between the greedy companies & people trying to live.
@ 16.25 "and you've got America right across the border"
Not exactly. This is not a border town. It's hundreds of miles from the US border, and it would take a day and a couple of flights to get to any major US city.
Hi Kabir, you're right about prices going up when a lot of people move into a state. Here in Texas, the price of a house has gone up five times in the last 20 years. A house I bought in 2000 for $93,000 dollars now is worth $500,000. This is simply a supply and demand situation. Most of the people moving here come from California, New York and other expensive parts of the country. It's also changing the political landscape, which is pissing a lot of people off.
There's more to choosing a place to relocate to than cheap housing. Did they show what you get for $300? What about local and national governments, quality of police force, general crime and safety issues, educational and medical facilities, and in the case of a foreign country, something as basic as drinking water? These are all things I considered when I relocated WITHIN the US. All these travel videos show are quaint cities, lovely locations, natural beauty, etc., etc. They don't show anything negative, no seedy areas (which all cities have). I'm a sceptic who doesn't wear rose colored glasses. Everything is not always as it seems.
Yes, Gringo refers to Americans and it orginated from the US-Mexican war of 1846 when there was a popular song that American soldiers sang which started "Green grow the rushes, O", and the Mexican's shortened it to Gringo.
Thanks.. I didn't know the story behind the name
I’m from Canada🇨🇦 & when I went to Peru, they referred to me as “Gringa” (feminine word for Gringo). It applied to anyone who was American, Canadian, British, French, etc etc… I thought it was referencing White people in general, but my fellow Missionary friend was called a “Gringo” as well. He was Black, sooo… That really confused me.🤷🏼♀️ In general it seems to refer to Whites.
Kabir, it isn’t expats who raise the prices, it’s locals. It hasn’t happened in my European city, and you should see the shock on the faces of expats who expect to sell their homes for high € when they move on. Prices here stabilized after the euro came in. There were a lot of opportunistic vendors of everything who tried inflating prices in the confusion. I speak the language and live like a local, except the occasional trip to see family.
I'm an American who lived in Germany and Italy for 8 years and am back in the US but relocating to Mexico in November, though not due to monetary reasons. It's an absolutely beautiful country that I think a lot of people have really distorted perceptions of.
Most of Rural America isn't that affordable any more either - Covid lockdowns with the Tech Workers all going remote - saw them move all over America and buy up the affordable homes because they can work from anywhere so a local job isn't even on their mind. I live in rural South Dakota and home prices here have tripled since late 2020 and the amount of new construction is off the chart; and the newcomers want to make this place into California and it is making the natives angry as hell.
You need to react to Brasil. It's a fascinating and stunningly beautiful country. Actually, it's like a dozen different countries in one. Brasilians are always appreciative when outsiders show interest in their country, even if they don't speak Portuguese. You may also get a pop in views. I've seen Brasilian reaction vids blow up.
I wouldn't mind giving life a go somewhere in the west indies. i have plenty of experience as lead guitar and backup vocals in reggae bands. I would just find a band and play for little local venues and also resort areas for gringos. as long as life was cheap I could really love that life on a few hundred bucks a gig. and I'm already able to understand heavy jamaican/west indian accents so the language barrier wouldn't really be a factor.
Most of the people i know that are moving to Mexico are originally from there. Americans from California are moving to Nevada, Texas, and the southeast US states.
Gringo can mean an American person but it's more likely to mean white person. Same thing here in Southern California. it's slang for white person, especially if they don't know spanish, so it can technically mean anyone that isn't mexican that doesn't know spanish, EVEN mexicans that don't know spanish lol...but more than likely it's white people...
Mexican coffee is what I always seek out when I buy from smaller roasters, so I'm not surprised at all that the coffee is good there. (Although Starbucks? That's a pretty low bar, isn't it? Or maybe I'm just a terrible coffee snob.) I really like Mexican coffees.
I know a couple of people who have moved to Mexico and are working on gaining citizenship there (5 years residence and some degree of fluency in Spanish is usually necessary before you can even really start the process). It's becoming an increasingly appealing option for artists, techies, and other folks who don't make much money but whose jobs can be done anywhere.
Guanajuato is where Toyota makes all its new pickup trucks for the US market after shuttering Tacoma production in Texas. As the US has been decoupling manufacturing from China for the past couple years, many Mexican cities are receiving major investment from US firms that utilize cheap Mexican labor, including Guanajuato. Interesting how "budget expat" Americans are also moving there and pricing out locals who are also making goods to be imported into the US. The new Toyota Tacoma made there can cost about $50,000. The average salary of a local there is $16,000/year.
The video seems to paint a fantasy, but I would not like to be a local having all these people move to my city that can outprice me on everything. And I certainly wouldn't want to hear the excuse that they felt like their spending power in their wealthy home country wasn't enough for them so they moved to someplace poorer and are trying to make it chic. The people in the video bragging about "getting Mexican prices" is a bit tone deaf. Not picking on Americans alone, it's Westerners in general. There's a cost of living crisis in the entire Western world that needs adequate policy responses, responsible sovereign debt management, and investments into a country's people, and just abandoning your country to go to the third world to displace poor people is the exact opposite of what people should be doing. Stay and work on your problems.
Any country that was a Spanish colony tends to be very religious. Because along with the Spanish came the Spanish Inquisition which lasted to the early 1800's and ment if you didn't convert and convince people you were Catholic, you didn't last long.
People living beyond their means- huge mortgages and no emergency funds. Rightly so that costs are increasing, you already have the option of getting a part time job( younger people).
Interesting
The problem that will happened to this city in Guanajuato, is that is going to get expensive just like the other city and move native Mexicans out. People moving from richer states to not so rich, are driving the cost of living in places like Texas and Florida up and moving Texans and Floridians out. For example, Tijuana Mexico, is also a very expensive city to live in because it’s a border city and Americans live in Tijuana and they just drive across the border to come to work in the US and then cross the border back. Also, just like here in the states, some of the infrastructure in some of the small cities is not capable already to handle such a migration.
They look like paid influencers making a promo for this Town in exchange for all or some of her Stem Cell treatment.
I can’t name ONE person I know who have dropped everything to move to Mexico lol it’s the other way around for sure
Most people lives in Calfornia. I know many students that works and go to school in San Diego, but lives across the Mexican border.
Lol bro no. i moved from new york to kentucky and now i only make 45k a year. i live comfortably with my kid. if u can afford to move to another country as an american , you can afford america
What do these people do for a living? If you’re truly picking up and starting a new life in a significantly less expensive country your wages are going to drop accordingly and it’ll even itself out. The same thing happens in America if you were, for example, to move from New Jersey to Arkansas.
I've been to Mexico a few times and there is no way I'm living there. They have more issues than the U.S has with their economy. I wouldn't feel safe to live there
If it wasn't for the Cartel problem, the lack of drinking water, and if I spoke the language... I'd be willing to check out Mexico.
Those two sound European, not American, and since Europeans are used to not having AC, that would probably not be a deal breaker for them, but for most Americans, yes, that would be. This also seems to be central Mexico and the Cartels operate where the money is - bordering the US. Of course if Americans started moving there en masse, the Cartels would follow.
@@jongrho602 They said that it gets chilly at night. That reduces the need for air conditioning a lot. You open the windows every night to let the cool air in, then in the morning you close the windows and draw the curtains on any south- or west-facing windows. Even quite high daytime temperatures are far more manageable so long as the nights keep cool.
@@elkins4406 That's interesting. Looks like they are in higher elevation? I remember when I moved my parents to AZ on a late December day and it was over 90F during the day so I opened the windows at night as AZ uses heat pumps and they were in the heating mode in Dec. The temperature dropped to 40F at night. I woke up freezing. I would also worry about insects as most countries outside the US don't use screens either. I spent a few years of my childhood in Tokyo and the Japanese generally don't have whole house AC units. I remember having to burn those green mosquito repelling coils when we used to keep the windows open at night since it doesn't drop 50 degrees at night like it does in AZ. And some of the Ryokan (inns) that we went to had netting over the sleeping areas. Not sure if they still have those.
@@jongrho602 Yes, I can't remember exactly what the elevation was, but at the very beginning they commented that people sometimes have to take some time to adjust to the thinner air.
When I first moved to Oregon, the nights cooled off even in the hottest part of summer, so it wasn't too hard to do without AC. The climate has definitely changed here over the past 30 years, though, and you can no longer count on it cooling off at night now. When I bought my house, I had AC installed, and a lot of other people here seem to have followed suit. It's much more common here now than it was when I first moved here.
Of all the various things people like to point out as differences between the US and the UK, I found the lack of window screens the hardest thing to adapt to when I lived there! The UK isn't even very buggy (outside of Scotland in midge season), but I still found it annoying to have insects buzzing their way inside. I always like having the windows open at least a crack, even in winter.
@@jongrho602 Buddy, the cartels operate EVERYWHERE there. They already have Obrador in their back pockets. Wake up...
I am a American …. The past 2 years. I want to leave USA. For me is Colombia….
Those two don't sound like Americans
Gringo means not Hispanic or Latino
I guess if you love Mexico that much. I don't. 😐
Will You Be Voting For Higher Taxes? 🗳
One reason I'd never move to Mexico... The Cartels.
Like there are no gangs in the U.S. Don’t believe everything Fox News says.
Rent: $300 a month. Cost of armed security to keep Gringos safe from cartels: $500 a month. Just saying.
Bull
If you can afford to move to an entirely new country as an American, America is certainly not to expensive for you...
Seriously, it costs a small fortune to move to another state, let alone another country.
Yup. Thank you OBiden.
I want to go as I do not want to live under Trump again... Second go round will be worse.. But I would never be in these big cities........
