Stop Complaining About Life & Move to Mexico 🇲🇽
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Today we walk around El Mercado De Abastos in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico and talk about why you should finally make the leap of faith in yourself and move to Mexico. We all know it won't be easy but it's something you have been thinking about for far too long and always finding an excuse or reason not to follow through. So it's time to stop complaining and do something about it once and for all. #Mexico #Mercadodeabastos #guadalajara

I've been traveling down to Sonora and Baja since I was a kid, I can tell you with 100% certainty the Mexican people are the friendliest most kind helpful people you will ever meet in your life hands down. Just try to remember it's their country so treat them with respect
Very well said! i totally agree! Thanks for sharing!
Spent almost a year in sonora the last 2 years... not baja but in cananea.. and I must say the people here are always helpful and understanding even tho my Spanish is really bad lol... I just love mexico...
See you in San Carlos amigo!
Por tus videos el costo de vida para el tipico mexicano a aumentado! Callate la trompa mejor! Les estas metiendo ideas a estos gringos que solo quieren aprovechar!!!! Les importan un comino lo que sufran la gente o pais.
I’m slowly convincing my husband to get the hell out of the US. I’m a nurse and can’t even afford to live life here. Everyday is a stressful day. I just can’t do it anymore. Thanks for your videos. I appreciate them!
Happy to hear my videos can be so helpful in making your decision to live a better life. Good luck with everything! Thanks for sharing!
Join us in Puebla. Let's talk!
I'm in a similar situation too.
Let's get rid of pretentious high quality life standards and start enjoying simple things in life, is when we get free.
Thanks for sharing!
That's what I'm talking about!
Amen 👍
I have traveled to several cities in Mexico and Guadalajara is the city that I liked the most, it has spring like weather the whole year, I plan to go live in Guadalajara in the near future.
That's wonderful! We loved the city very much as well! Thanks for sharing!
I love Guadalajara ever since i visit the city over 20 yrs ago . I suggest you do the red bus tour aka Tapatio tours so you can get a broader view of the city .
Jose you get me all fired up about at least spending some time in Mexico, and integrating in the culture thank you for your work.
Thats awesome! Glad to hear that! Hope you do get to make it out to Mexico and check it out and see how awesome it truly is!
Hey Jose:
Did you ever do a video on your filming equipment? I can follow some cute gals around all day even better with a good camera 😂!! I hope I don’t get in trouble for stalking though ❤
I’m on my way to La Paz for retirement in January 2025. Taking Spanish lessons now. I’m 68 and gonna go for another adventure in my life before I die. The U.S. is in trouble and I won’t bad mouth it but I’m tired of all the hate and division. I want PEACE…I’m hoping La Paz will be that for me. Thanks for the encouragement!
That is awesome! Good luck with everything! Thanks for sharing!
maybe the name of the city is a clue lol...
No water there
You seeking peace, that's exactly what 'La Paz' means😅
@@orangesoda8832 what do you mean?
You are truly genuine. Gracias Jose.
Muchas Gracias! I appreciate the kind words!
I am all good foreign people moving to my country as long they know and have dull respect about our traditions and culture of our way of life , don't come and do what you want .
Very well said! I totally agree. Thank you so much for sharing! Viva Mexico!
Thanks for telling it how it is! Is not about luxury and the VIP life, sure if you have some income you can, but it also means to be who you really are and have something for yourself or at least enjoy the life you are having
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!
we're half the way there. we got our Temporal resident visa in February.
counting the days when I can retire and move to Mexico.
Thats awesome! Congratulations! Next Stop, Mexico!
I'm so happy for you in Mexico. Latin women are the best. After dating a Mexican lady for a year, well... I know how lucky you are. I'm getting closer to moving. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Selling everything I own and working on my home for market. I'm hoping in the next 3 to 4 months. I am working with your lawyer down there. I can't wait to put the stress of America behind me. Thank your for your spirit and inspiration. Sometimes I get down and watching your content helps me to refocus. Been working on my espanol and hoping to be fluent in 6 years. I just want a simple life.
That is awesome! Congratulations! Glad I am able to help inspire you to go get what you've always wanted! Good luck with everything! Thanks for sharing with us!
18 years ago! 100% relaxed. Married to a beautiful Yucateca! I'm assimilated. It's not difficult. Just Do It...
Thanks for sharing!
So true, in México we still have a complete individual freedom as long as you respect the other...congrats José.
Amen to that! Viva Mexico!
Americans moving out here are trying to americanize things. So enjoy will you can 🙈
100% Mecixo is a free country. The former US is a fascist hellhole. Much closer to paradise here where I live!
If i move to mexico it is not because life sucks wherever i am it would only be because i love the Mexican people , period. The world is an awesome adventure. However the Mexican people are some of the most solid i have come across on this journey we call life
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
No more complaining for me!! Because I just immigrated to México!! The stress is melting away... ¡¡Gracias México!! 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🙏 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
That is awesome! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!
one of the smart ones
Timing is everything! You met your Wife! You moved to MX right on time!!
The Universe works in mysterious ways! So happy everything happened the way it did! Looking forward to seeing what other adventures await me!

I really enjoyed this video. Guadalajara is where I'm from, and I feel nostalgic just watching 👀 this video. I really can't wait to go back and retire there, God willing. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos. God bless you and your family.
Glad you enjoyed it! Guadalajara awaits you! We also loved it very much and can not wait to return! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! This episode's message is right on. I work for a US company Monday through Friday so my work life in Mexico is pretty much the same as it would be north of the Rio Grande but on Friday afternoon after clocking out I am mentally and emotionally in Mexico! My wife and I have a few drinks and listen to all kinds of music. It is such a 180 mentally. Unfortunately during the week I stick to my American work schedule and soak up US news and politics. Maybe that is because we live right across the border? Peace out!
Wow thats great! Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us! Saludos desde Mexico!
@@JoseArteagaTravels Saludos desde La Frontera, south of the Rio Bravo.
I want to do this lol, live in my house in Mexico but having an US Based job
@@eoimagery4524 The cost of living in Mexico will enable you to save more for retirement and to travel.
You always make me want to go back to my home in Mexico, been in the US for a few years and already getting tired of it here, it’s just different, I can’t really explain it but it drains you so much compared to living in Mexico, even if you have less things over there, somehow you are happier
Very well said! Hope you make it back home to Mexico soon!
you are always so informative. this is the real Mexico.thank you
Muchas Gracias! Happy to hear that you enjoy the videos and the information so much!
Gracias amigo por hablar bien de México no como lis medios de EU hermosos videos..❤😊
Claro que hablo bien! Es un gran pais! Muy hermoso y me a dado una nueva vida! Amo mucho a Mexico y nada mas quiero lo mejor para el pais y a todos que vivimos aqui. Que Viva Mexico!
Ohh I'm definitely moving back to Mexico 🇲🇽 but I need my house to sale in $850,000 and then I move to Jalisco MeXico 🇲🇽
Awesome! Good luck with everything! Thanks for sharing!
It's easier when you're younger, and if you speak Spanish. I'm in Merida right now, and although its beautiful and I am enjoying it, I don't think I could live here. I'm used to driving, and I've been walking everywhere and it's very difficult in the heat. And I'm a lot older than you. I went to the streets where the Mexicans shop in centro yesterday and it was overwhelming. Some people here don't like Americans too much. I've had people that were very rude to me. Most people are very nice though. The city traffic, the small sidewalks, and the heat, the exhaust from cars, and the construction dust on ave 60. I'm having a hard time Jose. 😅 🙂
Not everyone can take the heat ... Some LOVE It... My self I am crazy about Central Mexico near Puebla City... You do need a car if you do not live near the Center or near a Transportation Hub... (and they are sprinkled around the skirts of the city>) Some people think they want Beach life, but there are those rare times when strong WINDS or Thunder storms arrive. The thing about Mexico is there is a Climate for everyone!! I traveled to an area in the Mountains where it never gets HOT, and is quite comfortable . But if you don't speak Spanish You might find another place more comfortable.
)
Sorry to hear that! Perhaps you can try another city in Mexico. It is a huge country like the USA and each place is very different and unique. Perhaps a place with a milder climate and one you can drive in might be better suited for you. Either way keep looking around I am sure you will find your happy place! Thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels yeah, it's not so much the heat. I lived in Atlanta for13 years which is very hot. It's not knowing the language too well, and all the dirt because they're doing a lot of construction, in the fumes from the cars. Many people don't like Americans here. Because of the gentrification I think. But I met some lovely people and some great food and many other things. It's a beautiful city and I did make some friends.
@@lisas866yeah, you complain too much, just stay were you came from. Be happy. Mexico in not for the typical gringos.
go to Los Mochis , Sinaloa... close to the USA, the beach is closer., nice winters, if you like colder pleaces all the central plateu is a diamond! .. Uruapan or Orizaba in the state of Veracruz... better weather .
A good pep talk just when I really needed it.
I ate at a Mexican restaurant here in Grand Rapids today while pretending in my head that I was down there.
I spoke some Spanish at the restaurant and kind of surprised the lady and made her smile.
Que bueno! Eventually you wont have to close your eyes to pretend, you will already be here! Thanks for sharing!
Better get it together come and check it out. Jose is right you better cone on down before it gets harder to make the change i live in Guadalajara in a small town its not too bad it all depends on what you are willing to give up .
Yes, we don't get offended when somebody tries to speak our language like English-speaking people do. We embrace you and won't pretend we don't understand what you're trying to say just to make you feel uncomfortable or shitty English-speaking people are evil even our own people who speak English are evil, it's almost like the language itself makes you evil😅..💪😎🇲🇽
We will embrace you when you try to speak our language unlike English speaking people. We won't pretend we don't understand just to make you feel bad. That's one of the reasons a lot of people don't speak English in the United States because they rather not deal with the bs.🇲🇽😎🇺🇸
@@sergios4620I love the language. Especially the music. I am trying to learn.
I seem to have an easier time reading it than understanding the speech. Especially how fast it sounds when you are a gringa. 😂
Viva la Mexico 🇲🇽💜
Every time I go, I stay a little longer... one of these days...one of these days.😊
You can do it! Stay Strong you will be in Mexico Permanently before you know it!
I’m glad you’re keeping it real, we are foreigners in a foreign land! Immigrants and not expats!
That's right. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Full respect
Muchas Gracias!
I'm moving to Mexico with the money I pay in utilities in the US 600 a month I live comfortably in Mexico.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
That is mind blowing that in some or maybe majority of places in Mexico you can pay all your living expenses including rent for less than you pay for monthly rent in a majority of American states.
Can you show yourself speaking Spanish? How many years have you lived there? Did you speak Spanish before moving there?
I have spoken Spanish in other videos. My parents are Cuban and therefore that was my first language. I have lived in Mexico 6+ Years
Thank you, Jose. You make it sound like coming to Mexico is the best treatment for whatever ails us! I really want to, everyone will say I'm crazy, there is prejudice, but I find the idea exciting! The market is peaceful and beautiful... I'm working on it! From Florida.
Glad you enjoyed the video and that I was able to help!
Jose the United States is a stressful country that i feel like snapping sometimes!
Sorry to hear that. Keep your head up! Hopefully you'll be out of there soon!
My mind did snap 😢, working on it to get myself back on my feet. Soon...💪...soon...😎...🇺🇸🇲🇽
I completely agree with you. Only have one life to live
Amen! Thanks for sharing!
I’m subscribed to your channel and look forward to your videos. This video shows a lot of armed security, can you expand upon that?
Awesome! Glad to hear that! Those people dressed in Military Gear are the actual military and National Guard. They are there for public safety. One of the reasons why Mexico is so safe these days. I am actually going to be doing a Livestream this coming Thursday talking about Safety in Mexico you can join us there and ask me more questions and I can go into more detail on this subject. Here is a link to the upcoming livestream ua-cam.com/users/live6mRyu-PqHDw?feature=share Hope to see you there!
I'm always complaining about the USA and I've never even been there 😮😂😉 ,,, but seriously great stuff as ever Jose .😊
Jaja Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
*I give you a great recommendation so that no one abuses you and you spend your money better* If you came to Mexico, investigate how much it costs to rent a home in the area before renting it, ask several people about the houses that you like, ask them The people who live in that area remember each area then look for the house and rent the one you like remember each city and town changes the price, do not pay more because over time you only harm yourself and you will harm others because the People who rent increase their rents however they want, I pay $1,800 pesos MX. I live in Moroleón Gto. In Mexico it is frowned upon if you pay more than what things are usually worth, don't be embarrassed, the people are mostly very friendly and if you don't act like a local you will be rejected because you generate price increases and people have to leave. the surroundings of that community and adapt to being in Mexico. Mexico will not suit you if you like quiet places, they exist, you just have to ask, greetings...
Great advice! Thanks for sharing!
I would love to move to Mexico. The US has become an overpriced dump these days. And I have the advantage that I speak fluent Spanish (I was born in NYC but my family is from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴).
I have visited Mexico City, Puebla, and Puerto Vallarta and LOVED all 3. Guadalajara is on my list for my next trip to Mexico 🇲🇽
Awesome! Good luck on your journey! Thanks for sharing!
I'm an artist and that's one of the main reasons I'm coming to Mexico
That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Even the troops look happy. 😊🇲🇽 ✌🏽
That's right! Viva Mexico!
I did it 46 years ago
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
It'd be interesting if you made a video about your story and sharing with everyone I want to know
Is that in Marcato. Saturday market. We have Saturday Flee Market. And Yes, Dental USA wanted $6500 for a bridge. Mexico cost me $900 for same thing. I got sick in Guadalajara and Dr. Cost me $36.00. Government doesn't steel.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see you guys traveling! Guadalajara looks really nice.
Awesome! Yes we really loved it here and looking forward to our next visit already! In the meantime you can enjoy all the videos I have to publish about this amazing city! Expect much more to come!
The food looks fresh and amazing! Cuantos por un plato? Gracias amigo!
Yes it was beyond amazing! I forgot how much it was, but I do remember being pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was!
Great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, again!! This was exactly what we needed to hear.
I am not going to be afraid anymore of making this choice.
My husband and I are going to Oaxaca in October.
It’s looking like the best fit for us and we really appreciate your input and insight.
Man, everything you said: YES. We get the most of it.
We’re grateful for you and will continue to watch your videos.
Gracias!!!!😊
That's awesome! Glad the videos are so helpful!
Or you could always MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN... and not Move to México. how about that?
Yeah good luck with all that 😅
Amazing straight encouragement
Glad it was helpful!
Would you encourage us with research about the multitudes of the indiginus states peoples and cultures identifyed...bendiciones...m
Sounds good I will look into it. Thanks for sharing
E X C E L L E N T ! ! ! 💯👍😀
Thank you! Cheers!
While it's clear there are parts of Mexico that are relatively safe and comfortable, I believe the country will take a downward turn in the coming decades, not unlike the United States and many Western European countries. The organized crime in Mexico is out of control, and nobody seems to be able to do anything about it other than let it metastasize. You'll wind up becoming a Sicily where the only people that can get on there are the locals who know each other and what's going on behind closed doors - lol. Expats from the U.S. and Canada will eventually leave because the country will return to what it used to be, which is similar to Equador and Nicarauga's current situation. I would LOVE to move to Mexico ... LOVE TO... but I see where things are going and it's not looking good.
I think Mexico will continue its upward trajectory as the US and the rest of the "west" continue to spiral out of control. I guess we will see for ourselves in the coming years as things continue to materialize. Thanks for sharing!
I met lot of people in Guadalajara from Los Angeles who Moved there. Some retired from a US job and moved , life is Just more enjoyable there. But not all like People from Ustadas Unidos.
Cool! Thanks for the extra knowledge!
I live in Atlixco, Puebla MX. Best town in the world from my experience so far. I'm trying to form a group. Most are clueless as to what is right here and are content to suffer or worse. If you know any like minded people, lets talk!
Thanks for sharing!
Making money in Mexico is a whole nother thing: and you can't have a business as a US Citizen. If you can make money online, like making UA-cam videos. Wages are very low.
Thats not true. You can own and run a business as a Resident of Mexico. You are right that you will be making pesos instead of dollars but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be making less once you account for everything including costs of doing business and costs of living
I was on a dating app for Mexico and I'm still here in the us. I was telling her how I wanted to move to Mexico and she said that I was identifier and I shouldn't come to her country. I tried to explain what you were saying Jose about how most of the people that are gentrifying are actually Mexican people and not Americans but she kept giving me a hard time about it so I'm wondering if this is how a lot of Mexican people feel? She basically started an argument with me and shame me and put me down for wanting to come and live in Mexico and I said this probably isn't going to be a good fit for dating when someone's trying to shame me for moving to their country and adding to their economy and wanting a better life
Sounds like she wanted to use you to come to the states.
Forget her!
Funny how she matched with you and yet went on ahead to scold you while also being interested in you. 😅 Honestly the reality is that there are a lot of interests out there that are trying to deflect the truth and blame everything on immigrants and foreigners because they dont want the people blaming the real culprit which is other Mexicans. Again as I've mentioned before who are the business owners and landlords raising the prices? It's other Mexicans. That is the hard pill many do not want to swallow even though it is staring at them in the face. A common phrase that most Mexicans say which I have been hearing ever since I've been in Mexico is "A Mexicans Worst Enemy is Another Mexican". Funny how most Mexicans say this yet they refuse to acknowledge that Mexicans are the ones Creating and Causing all this gentrification, which by the way is not all bad, many Mexicans are actually happy to have new and nice things as would most people. I would say the younger generations are more likely to blame gentrification on Foreigners just like the younger generations in other countries blame everything on capitalism. Similar argument.
You meet people of all kinds just like in the States. Just keep on moving.
Probably she just wants the green card! I'm planning to move back to Mexico 🇲🇽 this summer
Because they thought that American life is better.they didn’t know what it really like .just like you don’t know about them and they don’t know about you 😊😅
This is so informative, Thank You much. We are planning to move to Guadalajara. My family eat 90% of the time, do you think we should be looking for these stores in Mexico as well? I heard you say food has little to no chemicals in it. I also noticed you spoke about physical therapy. I am looking for a neuro rehab for my son. Do you know of a good Neuro rehab in Mexico.
Mexico is full of these markets big and small. just ask around where the nearest mercado is and the locals will point the way. As for finding someone to help you with your physical therapy you should also have no problem there just ask around and you will get plenty of recommendations. You can also watch this livestream I did recently talking about Medical Tourism in Mexico ua-cam.com/users/liveavu1f4yMMmU?feature=share
Tables are turning, migration now is north to south
Very well said. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been there Great place. Thanks for showing it.
Yes it truly was an amazing place! Reminded me of when I used to go to the main central hub in Miami back in the day, only this was much better in my opinion. Plus the food was amazing! We had no idea until later but the place we had the birria tacos which I show in the video is actually very famous and some of the best, if not the best tacos I have ever had! Can't wait to return and go back straight to that taqueria! Glad you enjoyed the walking tour!
Jose
Te felicito por mostrar otros Lugar
Merida es Hermoso
Pero tambien me alegra ver otros lugares pues no puede viajar debidi a mi fobia.a viajar
Que bueno que te estan gustando mucho los videos de Guadalajara!
Your family, helps! I would be alone with a toddler..
I actually had no family or support when i first moved out here over 6 years ago. I also didnt have a toddler. Good luck with everything. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing!
I fly to Guadalajara Wednesday for a few days to fall in love and hopefully i plan to get out the states and live there. Cant wait!!!
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
Question. Not retired yet still need to wrk - what are the job opportunities ? But would love to move know
There are no "regular jobs" availble in Mexico unless you are will to get paid around $500 USD a month. There are options out there and certain employers who will hire you for a higher salary but you need to investigate that on your own. The other options is become a digital nomad, here is a list of jobs you can do remotely www.josearteaga.com/digital-nomad-jobs or start a small business here is a video you can watch with more details on working and starting a business in Mexico ua-cam.com/video/7wkNDaZQDnI/v-deo.html
Thaks for being so real, Jose. :-) It's your gift. ♥
My pleasure!! Glad you enjoy the videos!
I think it's easier for men than it is for woman!
It all depends on what you are talking about. I know plenty of women who have made it in Mexico and are a huge success. A lot more than me! In fact I interviewed one in Guadalajara so stay tuned for that one! Also I interviewed another one in Merida Yucatan you can watch that video here ua-cam.com/video/yYLVzZJaA5o/v-deo.html
Yes, u need a car insurance in Mexico, yes, u need your med insurance in Mexico and etc etc. too much bs for just one video , man.
If you have a car it is advisable that you have insurance, because if you Do Not and get in an accident you will have to pay at the scene of the crime or go to jail if you dont have the money to pay for the accident. As for Medical insurance it is optional and not needed. Mexico has much affordable healthcare, so outside of something catastrophic most people can pay for a doctor and/or meds.
José keep getting me fired up!
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
I’ve being to Mexico I would not live there.
ok! Thanks for sharing!
Jose I like your tips about inviting usa citizens to move to mexico for a better life but can you also mention not to try to come and change our culture because it's been going on some of them are coming and trying to change our way of living thanks
Thank you for your kind words! I totally agree with you! I have actually made videos on that in the past and will continue to do so going forward. If you plan on bringing that entitled attitude here to Mexico then it's best you just stay home in the USA. It will not be tolerated here in Mexico.
That grocery store looks nice! I see fish for sale! I would make fish tacos with those thank you sir
Jaja actually this is not a grocery store. The grocery stores out here in Mexico look just like the ones in your neighborhood and in many cases even fancier than a whole foods or other specialty market. This is actually a wholesale market that supplies small businesses and restaurants but is also open to the public and anyone can come out here and purchase items that come straight from the farm or off the truck/boat. It really is nice to have a market like this in your backyard and here in Guadalajara there are many markets like this. This is just the main central hub where everything first arrives and gets dispersed throughout the city and the rest of the country. Glad you enjoyed the tour of El Mercado de Abastos!
Hi! I've never seen your channel before but I like it! Funny how you're describing Mexico is the way they used to describe the U.S. When I was a kid we used to say "it's a free country" or "mind your own business" You don't hear those phrases anymore and there's a reason for that. Thanks for making the video!
Thats Awesome! Very happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I think you will love the rest of the channel. I tackle a variety of different topics about life out here in Mexico and all of them have the same candor as this one. Thanks again for sharing and Welcome aboard!
If you are thinking about visiting the Mercado de abastos or San Juan De Dios during your visit to Guadalajara i suggest you 1.get there early if you want to drive there . 2. Take public transportation 3. Take a rental bike or 4. Uber / taxi there.
Awesome! Yes we took an Uber to el Mercado de Abastos. and when we went to go visit San Juan de Dios we took an Uber to another part of downtown and walked all the way there. Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Great commentary, and I am only at 2:43 seconds!
Awesome! Glad you think so! Thanks for sharing!
Jose
Puedes mostrar lo moderno de cada Lugar a donde vas?😅
GRACIAS.
Si claro tengo mucho que grabe aqui en Guadalajara. El proximo video habla mas sobre la modernidad de la ciudad y Mexico
Jose l been watching you videos and they are very interesting and very objective l hope l can see you next time l go to mexico merida
Awesome! Glad to hear you love the videos so much!
What city u in Merdia
I am in Guadalajara in this video in el Mercado de Abastos
You don't want to move to Mexico., stay in the States, that's your home.
Jaja well what about the other immigrants from all over the world who also want to come to Mexico? Let me guess you also want them to go to the states 😅
@@JoseArteagaTravels Your video is about Americans complaining about life in the Staes.
Why are so many Americans not happy living in the USA?
Too many reasons to mention in just one comment, but I think it is mainly because the American Dream is Dead. That basically sums it up. You can watch more videos on my channel or on youtube to find out exactly what that means.
My nieces husband has a has a bodega there. He hits it out of the park. Augustine does rather well.
Wow that is awesome! I wish I would have known where his shop was I would have loved to go pay him a visit! Perhaps next time!! Thanks for sharing!
We are, we are!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jose. I've been in a hiatus, sort of. Finally, my husband, finally, is coming to grips to seeing the light. It's a good thing that I know where my great grand parents were from in Mexico. I thank God that my Grandmother, (God Rest Her Sweet Soul), grilled it into my head. She literally told me: " One day you may need to know where your great-grands were from in Mexico, so pay attention grand-daughter." And I did. I'm so grateful to her for giving me all the "Pearls of Wisdom" that she did. You see, my grandmother was born in the United States and I believe that my grandfather was also born in the United States on both my mother's and father's side. So, I'm going to have to lean and rely on my great-grands, (God Rest Their Sweet Souls), names and place of birth in Mexico to help me, when we make our move. I'm wondering if that's possible? I never thought that I'd be leaving my beloved United States. However, I guess, that sometimes, we have to return to our roots. My choice from the great -grands is either Spain, or, Mexico. So, here I go. I'm going to re-visit your past videos to see the how-to's in moving. Any suggestions on which ones I should review? Thank you for your help in this matter. I'll most likely have to get in contact with you for advice. I'll also be looking for legal advice as well. I need a starting point. I'll be checking on UA-cam comments for your reply. Again, thanks for your help in this matter.
You can get citizenship if you can trace it all the way back from your parents to your grandparents with birth certificates. For more information on helpful videos and and other useful info please go check out my website its all Free www.josearteaga.com/ You can also go to my youtube page and do a search on my channel for whatever topic you have in mind and theres usually a video on it 😅 Hope that info helps!
Thank you for the info. I'm going to do research on it.
I love GDL 😊
Awesome! We loved it as well! Viva Guadalajara! Viva Mexico!
What are people doing who can’t afford temporary residency? Are there a lot of people who are successful entering/leaving/entering every 180 days? Is it really a viable option?
That's a great question! What people do is that they go on Visa Runs every 180 days to get their new Visas and stay another 180 days and once you have done that a few times you qualify for the RNE program which grants you a 4 year Temporary Residency without having to provide any financial solvency of any kind. You just have to prove you have been living in Mexico on a tourist visa or any other kind of visa which should be easy to do since you can prove it with the stamps on your passport. You can watch this video I did with Jose Novelo a Local Mexican Lawyer and he explains it in more detail ua-cam.com/video/XH9lxrAehSU/v-deo.html
@@JoseArteagaTravels Jose thank you! For some reason I thought that option expired in 2021! I look forward to watching the video!
When i watch these videos about moving to Mexico it saddens me Greatly. Mexican culture and American culture are two totally different cultures. There are traces of good and bad in every culture, but the moving part be it from Mexicans to U.S. or Americans to Mexico have two different reasons. Mexicans coming to U.S are mostly poor people willing to sacrifice and work hard to make a better life for themselves. Americans on the other hand are people in their retiring years, or wealthy enough whom a few years back wouldn’t even look at Mexico as an option to move, but now looking at American economy collapsing all of a sudden Mexico looks attractive for their pockets, and so their move is not inciated on a need but mostly on satisfying a lifestyle, and that’s where it gets bad for Mexicans living on a tight budget in Mexico, cause housing becomes expensive, and to top it off Americans in most cases become demanding once they settle in, they don’t want to live to our standards. Not being racist here, just truthful but arrogance and mentality that they(Americans) belong, they can be at, or have a right to whatever they desire, is the number one Enemy between our two cultures, and the main reason this Country is always envolved in wars. I want to believe we all as humans can behave and be happy and respectful at whatever place we like to live, but it not only involves moving, it involves also doing a change of hart, a change of mind and being respectful of traditions and differences in cultures
I actually talk more in depth about those concerns you are presenting in this video ua-cam.com/video/QuCVQUap68k/v-deo.html Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us

Not sure what that means, but thanks for sharing!
Six years in Mexico, never going to live in the USA again.
Amen to that! Viva Mexico!
Would like to have seen the prices of items, instead of just showing them on shelves. Had planned on moving to beautiful remote area before covid hit, which has now been ruined by rich from USA buying up the area, prices going sky high and screwing the less fortunate and locals.
Sorry to disappoint my channel isn't focused on showing prices of items and talking only about cost of living. My Channel is more about finding a better quality of life and you don't need to have a lot of money for that. I understand we are all different and looking for different things which is why I focus on covering topics no one else is covering. There are plenty of channels out there that can give you a detailed break down of prices if that is what you are looking for. Hope you can find another remote area in Mexico to move into. There are many and most are still very affordable. Good luck with everything and thanks for sharing.
NO A LA GENTRIFICACION. 🤬
A ok. Dile a los dueños de los negocios que son Mexicanos que no suban mas los precios para aventejarse de los extranjeros porque cuando lo hacen entonces les quita calidad de vida a otros Mexicanos. Como dice el Dicho "El peor enemigo de un Mexicano es otro Mexicano"
El problema de la gentrificacion esta muy marcado en Tijuana y tal vez la cdmx en ciertas zonas., pero en el pais en general NO., solo que las redes sociales no explican muy bien.
Get on the struggle bus like our immigrant friends in San Francisco. I spent yesterday in Colma at a funeral for coach who immigrated from Soviet Union in the early 1990’s. Realized how complicated it is to pull together a multicultural person who lived in so many places. It would be interesting to learn how different funeral arrangements would be in Mexico versus USA. Life and death are intertwined a clothing for the soul divine.
Sounds like an interesting topic. I will consider it and look more into it. Thanks for sharing
This video reminded me of another UA-cam channel I used to follow during the time he was building a house in Nicaragua. The Name of his channel if I remember correctly was: STOP HAVING A BORING LIFE LOL funny name for a channel but he was keeping himself busy... I think he may have stopped UA-cam now but you might still find remnants of his channel. Thanks for sharing this video... I always love looking around any town you tour..
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Hopefully, when I visit Merida, I’ll be able to meet you and Christine!
Thanks for sharing!
Dude... Great video and you capture the whole story in such a straightforward and clear way. Love it❤❤
Muchas Gracias! Happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video!
It is all good to relocate when time is right. No matter where one moves from, remember why it is one choses that country. In the case of Mexico, it is friendly, happy and laid back. Do not try to change that as in recent cases trying to change the music culture and vibes of the Mexican people. There are cities that are quiet 🤫 and calm by its own Mexican culture, if that is what one is seeking go there. Mexico lindo y querido, is what it is today by its history, do not confront and expect to change such beauty with what one is leaving behind. Pleasant travel and journey.
I totally agree with you! If you plan on bringing that entitled attitude here to Mexico then it's best you just stay home in the USA. It will not be tolerated here in Mexico. Que Viva Mexico!
Despite the fact that in the United States there has always been a very bad press with Mexico, I have to admit that those who end up appreciating my country are always foreigners. Despite the love-hate relationship between Mexicans and Americans, we must also admit that we depend on each other economically: the United States and Mexico are, potentially, the most powerful commercial power in the world: if we stopped seeing each other as enemies and began to see each other as deep allies, no one in the world would be able to compete against us.
Amen! Very well said! I totally agree! Que Viva USA! Que Viva Mexico!
Hello respected sir , I am MOHD Sabir a bricklayer from India and I want to come to maxico, so please share me any job portal for find a job in maxico, please
I don't think there are any internet job postings for construction work in Mexico. You would have to go in person to construction sites and speak directly with the employers.
@@JoseArteagaTravels you are right, but I can't go there because I am very poor man and can't afford the expenses of visa and tour of maxico so finding online, can find a job in other countries online , if know then please make a video or let me know
Keep it coming brother!
Muchas Gracias! Hope you enjoy it!
Jose wise words thank you, you are my hero, and I'm glad you are living a full and happy life.
Wow Muchas Gracias! Thank you so much for the kind words!
When I finally get my butt down there to Merida, I'm gonna come and shake your hand, lol 🎉❤😂
ok! Thanks for letting me know! Now I know that if some random person just comes out of nowhere to shake my hand that it was you all along! 😅 Jaja Good luck on your journey! Hope to shake your hand on the streets of Merida one day!
My husband is so unhappy in America. But he thinks Mexico is only cartel and desert. I feel sorry for him. I am ecstatic to live here in Morelia. I told him I am not ever going back, if he wants to see me, he has to come here.
Sorry to hear about your husband. Good luck with everything! Hope he comes to his senses and follows you to Mexico! Thanks for sharing!
