Living in Mexico on $130 Monthly Pension
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- Rennie gets $130 per month from her Canadian pension. There's not many places in Mexico where you could live on that amount of money. But with a few other hustles, you can put together enough income to live in Mexico.
Rennie lives in the Jardines Alcalde neighborhood of Guadalajara. A nice middle-class Mexican neighborhood. When she moved to Mexico, she wanted to live like a local, not a tourist. She definitely lives on a budget, but can afford so much more in Mexico than she could in Canada. She's almost retired, collecting rent and also teaching English classes.

I was born in Jalisco but my parents brought me to the USA when I was 12 years old(I’m 39 yes old now) I never thought about moving back to Mexico but the cost of living in the USA is ridiculous. My wife and I are now looking to buy a property in Jalisco or Nayarit and live a more stress free life
Especially if you live in California. It’s crazy expensive.
Do it!!
Was thinking the same. My dad is from Jalisco and I love it there. He’s 2 hours from Vallarta. I really liked Nayarit en Bucerias. 👍🏽
Are you legal
I’d say the 20 million extra unwelcomes helped destroy what your parents were looking for.
She isn’t living on $130 if she has additional income
Exactly
It sounds like a rich person that has other businesses that does other things on the side and they’re trying to get us to believe that she lives off of 130 bucks a month there’s no way anyone can live off $130 a month
Of course he doesn't live on 130 dollars a month!!
Buddy is awesome too
Esactly wtf is this boy talking about it
Forced to retire early due an accident I could no ĺonger afford my house nor health care. As a native Californian, Mexico might have been the logical choice. However, I learned that France could be a good fit for me. I've lived on the Mediterranean since 2007 and love it more each day. If you follow your heart ❤ you will find where you belong. Best wishes.
Congrats on finding a spot in France. Europe is a great option for some folks - and it seems like you’re very happy!
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico mais oui monsieur.
Wht are the requirements to retire to France? I would love to bee in your shoes. How can I find out abt it?
@@hellooutthere8956 I'm sure requirements have changed over the last 16 years. Before moving, I came for six week with a rail pass and a backpack. I did research on the things that were important to me. I found a site online where you could ask questions and began communicating with someone who was very helpful. We became friends. I found a book that saved me A fortune. Basically I did my homework and I wouldn't change a thing. I wish you all the best. Viva la Belle France 🇫🇷.
Life is getting more and more difficult in US.
I’ve watched hundreds of such videos. This woman was exceptionally informative and quite entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Agreed with the comment. She’s down to earth, authentic and informative.
• Perhaps you could have plugged her vacation rental.
• I have narrowed my search to Guadalajara (trying to eliminate the touristy & expat communities)
Agree.
@@Dividendflywheel There are lots of options in GDL. I was surprised at how few expats I saw around town - even in the Colonia Americana.
She doesn't seem to have trouble filling her vacation rental - even though her website is pretty antiquated. I have a link in the description, but lots of folks have troubles with it 😞
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico thanks
A lot of times interviews aren’t very interesting. This was excellent! Rennie is so personable. Great vlog!
Glad you enjoyed it Brenda!
She was friggin irritating
As I am on a pretty dismal pension myself ($600 monthly) I was quite excited by the headline, "Living in Mexico on $130 Monthly pension". However, that is not the case. Rennie already owns a property in Mexico where she is presently living plus receives rental income from 2 self contained units. On top of this she teaches English online and also in person. Personally I feel the headline has skewered the truth. I feel suckered into watching a video which has dashed my dream of living in Mexico on a low pension.
Sorry - I figured most people would realize that you can't actually live in Mexico for $130 per month. I'm not aware of any place in the world where you can live that cheaply. I was hoping to inspire lower income people to look for creative ways to earn extra income to make it possible.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico by lying- no excuses
Can you live for $150 a month.
@@uncledodadnot very comfortably. And you won’t be able to get a residency visa. Best to look further south or to Asia.
Maybe Africa @@AlmostRetiredinMexico
Good to see happy people living in Mexico
There are so many happy people living in Mexico! The happiness of the locals rubs off on the foreigners.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Brighton, the 'price' of PESO frightens me.
@@BPe-ie9je I hear you. I've been waiting for it to go down against the dollar... but it's moving the other way...
They can’t in Trudeau Canada
@@Lpmeff they cant what ???
I love Mexico and embrace the culture. The people will guide you down the path of enlightenment.
So true! Do you live in Mexico?
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico PLEASE pass on to this kind woman this info on how to cure diabetes with diet. YES, cure type 2!! To cure it's about changing diet. Doctors wont tell people this in person. You have to search yt for the truth....here's the truth:
yt ch on keto & carnviore diet see Dr Berg, Dr Eckberg, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Ken berry, Shawn Bakker MD podcast, Nutrition with Judy, Kelly hogan, Steak and butter gal videos on Type 2 diabetes. She does not have to suffer with type 2 or continuous insulin for life. she can change her diet to carnviore diet or keto diet and cure it.
library has books on both carnviore diet & keto diet. it works!!!!
Oh so those are the same people that are dragging people into the US and killing them. They're the same people destroying their country and villagers and killing them. They're the same people that are passing drugs into everything that they bring into our country including our food. Yes so enlightened, no you're just ignorant.
Really what path is that ? Catholicism ? Duffous.
@@jeddog9613
Enlightenment = place a high premium on relationships. Slower pace of life
This lady just gave the smartest tip to Americans who are planing to move to Mexico, Buy A property with the potential to rent a part of the house and live without working ever again forever damn
except she's still working as an English teacher.
I would love to see as I've watched another videos. When selling, it gets a little tricky because of the way the paso moves up and down and how you sell, it's a little complicated to me.
@ginacardarella She is Living Her Best Life. Living In Mexico After Retirement Is The Best And Cheaper
You're probably referring to the peso. Besides, all currencies "move up and down". And the exchange rate doesn't affect local prices of real estate or food.
Oh what an awesome beautiful refreshing report story of a beautiful life. Can’t wait to be looking at the rest. Thank you so much.
Great interview. God bless her.
Thanks!
My friend retired to MX 11 years ago and loves it. I visited her there and fell in love as well. Most of the things I thought I knew about MX were not true. It’s a wonderful, welcoming, friendly, vibrant place.
Thanks for sharing. Lots of mis information about Mexico.
This woman is so impressive, capable, honest and adventurous . Makes me want to retire in Mexico. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Do it!
nooo please. stop retirimng im mexico. people who retire to mexico makes te living for locasl harder an s expensive
I would NEVER leave New Zealand for Mexico

What a nice woman...And what a sweetheart Buddy is :)
Buddy was so cool! Totally chill pup!
As a Canadian I would love to live in Mexico. Of the places in Mexico I have visited, Xalapa is my favourite. I could never get tired of the scenery, architecture, cultural opportunities, music, art, book stores, markets and most of all the people. Beautiful.
Thanks Peter - I've never been to Xalapa - or anywhere in that region. There's so much of Mexico for me to explore!
Did you visit Xalapa, Veracruz?
Thank you Brighton and Rennie for this episode. Was feeling so tired today so to relax this evening and watch this was perfect. Very inspiring and creative way of making life doable on a tight budget. 😊I like the idea of living within an authentic Mexican neighborhood and def echo your sentiments about paying taxes!
Thanks Kate. Glad the video was well timed for you. I love how Rennie carved out part of her house and made a vacation rental - that's smart!
It is an educational video.
I’m Mexican living in 🇺🇸 45 yrs I have family n friends in Mexico with their help by helping me find a affordable place , I will retire there with $845 dls income , ret budget $200 a month in a regular simple neighborhood non turístic area with a walking distance to the beach 🏝️ n mercado that’s what I love. Loved your video very encouraging for me makes me want to live son this yr.
Why so less?
To what city will you go for retirement>

She teaches English & says 'how GOOD it works'!!! Good luck to her!
She said she teaches "Business English" which is actually more about just having casual conversation, going out for beers with business associates and chatting about sports and whatnot - it's not about strict grammar. Any native English speaker can teach Business English.
I was born and raised in Jardines Alcalde and I can attest to its neighborly environment, we knew everyone and, during my childhood we would do block parties for Christmas celebrations.
Colonia Americana, used to be a high class community before my time but now, its just famous for its night life.
Thanks for sharing your insights! Where are you living now?
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico I live in California since I was 18 but I still got to Guadalajara 2 or 3 times a year
Well that will be finish soon when all this invader genteificate the hole área! How you can be that blind!! This is not fair or Goodyear for us the natives from this land, you stolen before and do it again
@aldebarandelabarre5259 You're wrong. These people are not invaders in any way. They're being productive members of our communities, I have seen it.
You complain about some of them mistreating our people, but in reality, you're complaining about people like you, negative and aggressive, and most likely, not productive members of society and I'm glad that the majority of us are not like you.

Mexico is a wealthy country in every aspect!!
I just love her story and her compassion for taking in Buddy❤ I wish I was in her shoes.
I live in puerto vallarta and love it!!!! Can be reasonable to expensive for rents. To buy is a wide range of prices. Beautiful, friendly people, plenty of foreigners, retirees and snowbirds living here. Lots of activities to do, volunteer work, restaurants and theater. Beaches are beautiful north and south of the city center.
Plenty of foreigners is bad news. They drive prices up.
I work for Costco would like to transfer there. But, I do not speak Spanish. I heard there are a lot of Americans, bit would you advise learning spanish?
@@mackm7781 well shoot, the whole entire country's population is American! All 130 + million of them.
What'd you think México was in Asia?
English is my 3rd language & when I moved to the USA as a kid they only put me in an ESL class for a few months then they transferred me to regular classes, had a hard time but I kept a dictionary with me 😂, watched shows n cartoons in English only & it helped a lot
Good to see happy people living in Mexico. I love Mexico and embrace the culture there, especially the food.
wish it would stay there!!
I just love this video and Rennie is my inspiration. I’m on my second year solo here in Central Mexico and I long to have a rooftop sanctuary and some gardening as well. Something caught my eye in the first bathroom immediately. The water vase with plant hanging on the wall. Did you create this Rennie, or where the heck can I get something so unique and beautiful. 😮 Your home is fabulous.
Omgeee Mee Tooo !!! With that thick COBALT base bottom and trim !!! It is GORGEOUS !!! 💙
I noticed that vase in the Bathroom as well. It reminded me of the Mexican blown glass pitcher & glass set I have in the clear & cobalt blue glass that I have.
It looked to me like a large jug type bottle turned upside down with the bottom cut out. Beautiful ❤
You probably didn't notice that the clear vase with the plant hanging on the wall actually had a beta fish.
@@Mikearoniandcheese I sure did! Sooo special. 💯

@@user-fg1yr5hv3r Wow, racism in a video LITERALLY about living in Mexico. Why would someone need to speak English in Mexico? Or the United States for that matter. There is literally NO official language in the United States. Commonly spoken is not the same as ONLY spoken. And it damned well doesn't apply to other countries
@@Maven775people are so dumb. dude just said he’s Mexican so if he wants to speak Spanish or English do what you want to do. In the US, you’ll suffer from not speaking English but it’s your right to speak whatever you want

Thanks Susie! Enjoy your visit to Guadalajara! BTW - here's my Guadalajara Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL0g8-PsBIVsw_byKALJCW94Pn1E-svXwO.html
Enjoyable conversation with Rennie! How nice that she has ready income from her rentals, her $130 monthly pension may cover a utility but nothing else, so happy that she can afford to live there!
Thanks for your kind comment Cindy!
Did you hear the amounts that she gave? 130 dollars is about 2500 pesos.
That will pay water or propane for at least half a year.
Do the math.
@@losapriscos7258$130 doesn't cover the rent, I pay $190 plus $400 for the rest of the living expenses.

Thank you for your comment - and for sharing your country with us!
I am happy to hear she is paying taxes and that she gets around in the neighborhood and that she cares to socialize with her neighbors which is more than the average U.S person does, maybe is because she is from Canada.
Ouch - I’m from the US. But I know what you are saying…
You can’t socialize if you can’t speak Spanish.
It depends where in America 🇺🇸 but if people don't like America they should not live in America. I wish immigrants would learn the reason behind our constitution and how God gave us our freedoms
@@sumofme1 Who thr F is talking about "America"?
Vaya manera de generalizar a las personas, encasillándolas por su nacionalidad, gente irresponsable, insociable o viceversa las encuentras en todos lados: Usa, Canadá, mexico, etc.
Just subscribed to your channel. I’ve been thinking of a vacation home in Mexico. The idea of using it as a “vacation rental” is genius.
• Will binge your videos to learn how to start the process- lawyer contacts, how to open bank accounts etc.
Welcome aboard!
Different ppl, different ideas, different point of view will make the difference and change the country for good.. welcome to Mexico if you love my country.
Thank you for sharing your country with us. We love it!
She does not pay rent. She owns her property. She rents property, teaches English, her retirement and she has a lot of knowledge. Good for her.
I am sure this woman has led a fascinating life and has some great stories and she has been very industrious and smart in making her retirement work. It's somewhat misleading to say that she's living on $130 Canadian each month. She is renting part of her home and continues to work which brings in income. Not everyone is as smart and industrious as this woman or would be able to follow the same blueprint. She's also in relatively good health which works to her advantage. I think this plan could work for a subset of retirees though. Bravo to her for carving out an adventure for the next stage of her life!
I lived for 17 months in a neighborhood called Bangkapi in Bangkok with my Thai wife. We paid $130/month for a 2 bedroom condo with 24 security. Walking distance to a mall, two massive outdoor markets, and 4 grocery stores . We could buy the condo for around $30000. Mexico looks great but honestly I see videos and I think Southeast Asia is the best value🤷🏻♂️
When was this and how much is a 1 bedroom condo furnished in Bangkok and Pattaya?
@@gif24gt60 2022-2023. You can live expensively near Sukhumvit or cheaply like most Thais . I moved in with my wife in a very Thai neighborhood in a very Thai condo . No other farangs in my building. A lot of people don’t believe me because they try to live a western lifestyle in Thailand .
What a great woman! Thank you for interviewing her.
Thanks for watching. I have more interviews here: ua-cam.com/play/PL0g8-PsBIVswzglfxyvyfUv-PLFxxYjKU.html
An advantage of Guadalajara is that it’s far enough inland where an expat can buy the property unlike the cities by the coast
Excellent video and the lady you interviewed really has her act together. Her house is lovely, and she was smart to set things up to generate extra income. It's great that she enjoys her neighbors and the area that she lives in.
Fabulous. I just love this channel and the people interviewed. Thank you
It was so heart warming to see your dad again. And Tiko.always did special singing for him. That was a wonderful video.
I am glad that you guys are posting this type of videos on social media, the more the better it needs more exposure. In order to fix this foreigners issue in Mexico 🇲🇽
What foreigners issue?
I'm a single woman hoping to do something like this after my dogs pass away. I have three dogs and just unsure about the logistics of bringing them to Mexico. I hope to push through my fears and do what Rennie does.
Bringing dogs to Mexico is easy - especially if you drive across the border instead of flying. I think the limit is 2 per person, but they aren't really counting...
I have a video about how great the vet care is in Mexico: ua-cam.com/video/XqBKDU-TYoQ/v-deo.html
You should go now ❤ take your lovely dogs
Don't Wait Because The Dogs May Not Die Until It Is Too Late For You To Go Or Too Old
Me too. 63 widow. Wish I had courage. Feeling safe is huge for me. I just don't know about safety there.
@@tinydanceryoutube I guess you'd need to look at how safe you are currently. In the US, you never know when or where the next mass shooting will happen. Check out this video with my thoughts on violence in Mexico: ua-cam.com/video/_dsXykgSk7c/v-deo.html

The title is misleading. Her pension is only a small supplement to what she earns from rentals.
Yes, the title is misleading and at 40 seconds I was going to respond; but then I thought I should see all of it first. That is what UA-camrs do to get you to click. It is quite common.
I live on $10 per month...........but then I have other income I did not reveal, Ha.
The truth is somewhere in between. $130US/month is 2,200+ pesos/month or 26,500/ year. That is enough to easily cover the fixed expenses of utilities, taxes, transportation, et cetera that she listed in the video. It's doubtful her rental income is more than $130/month. Certainly the additional income allows her a significantly more free spending lifestyle.
Just subscribed! I loved Rennie... and her dog simply stole my heart. Boy, it sure makes me dream of moving to Mexico but my destiny is in Canada for the time being.... I am fluent in Spanish, which makes me want to live her life so much more hahaha (in a good way, no jealousy, just a little cry for more sun, fresh air and kind heart people as neighbors).

Hi Rennie, great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very enjoyable video, interesting. I love her pupper! How sweet that she rescued him and that he's great company. I have heard that it can be safer in Mexico to have a dog in the house. I am a cat person for sure, but I love all animals. Cats aren't super helpful with security, however...
safer with a dog? every house and building here has heavy steel doors with double locks and bars over the windows. I dont think a dog is going to make that any safer.
I feel more safe with a dog. Maybe you could teach your cat to meow really really loud? Maybe get him a little amplifier he can purr into?
Glad to find your content you are the first immigrant in Mexico I hear encouraging to pay taxes. It's the right way 9:42
I once saw a coworker taken by Mexican immigration due to not declaring their work status. Shipped back to France.
Wow - I have a interview (not yet public) I did with someone who overstayed her 180 day tourist visa and ended up in jail for 2 nights while friends raised the cash to get her out. Immigrants have been too used to skirting the law in Mexico, but the government is getting more sophisticated.
Thanks for watching!
That's unfortunate but deserved, life in Mexico is already cheap for many coming from somewhere else and still so looking to get it cheaper or for free?
The neiborhood is amazing.. House is amazig.. Dog is amazing....
But most of all: SHE is amazing❤❤
