Hi. Thanks for watching your video and taking the time to respond. It’s not too difficult to find a country where we are treated better than in Canada right now. Please check out our other leaving Canada videos. ua-cam.com/video/6DDMSG288-U/v-deo.htmlsi=ZaJe5o4_Xx7405nl ua-cam.com/video/FIrkrLTla5k/v-deo.htmlsi=LqBCbiZ_a2RYDcbx ua-cam.com/video/e1SdC2CjVog/v-deo.htmlsi=BbrwIp_otf8PUczl ua-cam.com/video/eWvKN2p4QyA/v-deo.htmlsi=k6LaEo63GDFu7JJk
Thanks for putting these videos together, they are wonderful. We left Canada in 2021 for the same reasons, it took a while to get over feeling sad about our country.... but we have met so many amazing people and feel the sense of connection here in Mexico. Who knows where we will end up! Life is good🩷
Our pleasure! I just love sharing these experiences and hopefully motivate people to realize they can do this too. What part of Mexico ? We are in Cabo right now. We head to Europe in July.- November and then Australia.

I just turned 60 and the plant I worked at closed and moved manufacturing out of Canada! Way too expensive to operate here. So I have been looking to retire elsewhere as well. I have been to Mexico 3 times, but on resorts, I'm worried about crime! I think it is very important to talk about. Also been looking at Panama and Costa Rica. Look forward to more info about leaving Canada and details about doing so.
Hi there! Well you have come to the right place! We have permanent residency for Mexico but we do not live here - we visit. We did it for tax purposes. We don't actually live anywhere🤣 watch this video. What about Portugal? Spain? Italy? Thailand ? ua-cam.com/video/eWvKN2p4QyA/v-deo.htmlsi=ZDlmdeN0ZVUrLk_B Mexico, if you don't do drugs and don't do stupid things you are fine. I have never once felt unsafe here. It is getting to be more expensive. There are some great expat communities here in Mexico.

Cheers to y’all. We are getting ready to do the same. The kids are all grown up now, out of college and on their own all successfully and it’s time to travel for the the wife & I.
That is so awesome! 🤩 We have permanent residency for Mexico - but we don't live here. We did it for tax purposes. We actually don't live anywhere.

Programmed like robots!! Luckily (careful planning) we own our home in BC free and clear, and have over 1 million in an investment portfolio, plus our home is worth $800,000, its up for sale, hoping to pull the plug this year, and put everything into our investment portfolio!! You guys are a great inspiration!!!! We do NOT plan to own a home again, maybe when we are 90 and come back to Canada, then we will buy a small condo, or we will rent!!! We can easily rent in Thailand, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and any other place, why buy? Renting you can leave anytime you want, maybe lose a damage deposit.
Hi Klee, Well, you guys are going to have to let us know when you get your " Get out of jail" card! 🤣 I hope everything goes well for you guys. Remember no storage lockers. Maybe one days our paths will cross. We are back in BC for two weeks, then we head to Europe. We are starting in the UK. We don't sign any leases, so there are no damage deposits to worry about. Cheers, Jill
@@jillpemberton1434 We have some valuable art, we can't sell easily, we will (unfortunately) need a small storage unit (believe me I hate the idea), unless I can make an arrangement at a Vancouver gallery to sell on commission, and store it for us (that might work) We are following your chanell, most of our travels planned for Europe and SE Asia, Mexico is not on our list. No doubt you 2 will return to SE ASIA!!! We will meet up for sure at some point, why not??? Love your videos, honest and straightforward!!!!
I now rent living in Quebec..Want to be mobile and ready to make the move. It’s getting too crazy here for me..Just got back from a 6 week exploratory vacation in Thailand to see how the expats live..Definitely heading back..Rent-rent-rent..Never will I buy anywhere
Hi there, Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to connect with us. Yup in Canada - we ask Canadians particularly who owns your home? The over reach of government and taxation is simply unacceptable. Make sure you watch our Goodbye Canada series. The second video tackles the "Real" cost of home ownership.

@@jillpemberton1434 already watched. I'm watching your series from a different perspective. I have no desire to leave my country but I still like to see what options are out there. I'm finding other ways to deal with goop showing up in my country. Still I am grateful for the information you share.
Glad you like the content. 😌 We both appreciate good value. We went on two luxury live aboard dive boats- they were expensive but the quality of experience was worth every penny. It's not about being cheap. To us value, experience is everything at this point of our life. Well, we are definitely enjoying our travels and seeing the world. No where is perfect but it's sure fun exploring the options. We are heading to Europe this summer in July - October and then Australia and Africa - so much more to come! We are going to do a safari and go see the silverback gorillas. Stay tuned.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the information useful. We really appreciate you taking the time to connect with us.

Thanks for much for your support and kind words. Working on the next video😎 right now. Lets us know if you have any suggestions. We head to the UK in July and then Europe. Stay tuned! Jill and Randy
I'm moving the family to Japan. We can sell our house and live of interest from investing the money. Rent is under $500 a month for a home. food half the price. no crime or drugs. Canada Sucks
Hi there, We would love to hear about your experience and process. We have residency for Mexico - but we don't live there. We can travel the world for less than living in Canada. Make sure you watch our Goodbye Canada series.

We have 3 years left here in "Kommie-Fornia" until our youngest is done with high school. Then we are selling our big house and buying a condo in Florida as a US home base. We also have a home in Romania where the money ratio is 1 USD to 4.5 RON. We will be using our Romanian home as a launching point to slow travel Eastern and Western Europe and our US home to slow travel the rest of the world.
Hi Steven, Thanks for watching and for taking the time to write to us, Ha ha Kommie-Fornia🤣🤣🤣 I think more and more people are so fed up with the mismanagement of tax dollars. There are so many place around the world that offer real value. We have permanent residency for Mexico but we don't live there. It has simply been our Get Out Of Jail Card from Canada.We are heading to Europe in July. Here is our Goodbye Canada series.You will find the second episode particularly interesting because it tackles the cost of home ownership. The first video of the series has been viewed more than 250k - I think we struck a nerve!

Thank you for another good video in your series. Seeing and hearing how happy you both are makes me happy I left early as well. Don't let the negative comments from the people that are truly never happy discourage more videos. The grass can be greener, well the sand is much nicer anyways and I am proof you can live a happy and full life on less money. And having finances set up properly ensures you should never run out of money, and then when I hit 60 I get CPP. Slow/longer stay travel helps for sure. It is not always the destination, but the journey. Happy Trails
And happy trails to you guys as well. There are so many people who do not realize how exorbitant our cost of living is in Canada , When compared to other countries. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Hi there, Yes! We are working on Mexico first and KL should follow. I have to begin on telling you how much I love KL! We took out Mexican residency but that was due to our familiarity and the proximity of Mexico to Canada. KL opened our eyes wide open! We don't actually live in Mexico, right now we are enjoying living a nomadic lifestyle.

Hi Mike, I feel like that I don't even recognize Canada anymore. We head back to Canada for two weeks this year but that's it! We have better healthcare, lower taxes a far better quality of life.

Government interference is COMPLETELY the issue with North America. We need to leave and not look back. The world is small now and we have many options that doing what you talk about is clearly the best solution for many of us. Thanks for a great video!

great video! I'd like to know more about how you travel so much and still stay so fit! you both look amazing and must work out frequently? Also, do you buy fresh food at local markets and cook at home quite a bit? It would be interesting to hear about this part of your life too. Thank you!
Hi there, Thanks so much for watching and for reaching out to us. Yes - we should do something in a video to incorporate what a month or week actually looks like. Well, fitness and eating healthy has always been part of our lifestyle, through out our lives. We eat out mostly but do cook when we can. For example - we always make our own breakfast and snacks - then eat out for dinner. We eat lots of vegetables ,tofu, fish and chicken. I am mainly vegetarian but occasionally I have fish and chicken. I still love my pizzas though!🤣. I think we eat a lot healthier - because food is more affordable and plentiful. . We are both not too caught up with gyms - because as you travel, it can be difficult to establish a game routine. So pretty much anywhere we go walk and walk and walk. We also do about 15 minutes of a mix of pushups for arms and shoulders , various exercises for the core and a leg work out with various types of lunges. We both love to hike - so we hike when possible,
@@jillpemberton1434 thanks for your response Jill! that makes a lot of sense and sounds like a good way to stay fit while travelling. My husband and I are planning to move and live abroad as well so I was really curious. I know from experience staying fit and living a healthy lifestyle does not happen without a level of intention - although I am sure having such low stress plays an enormous role in how good you look and feel :) Have a fantastic day
Hi from a fellow Canadian. I am wondering if you are factoring in the government debt and taxes of the countries you are exploring. My research indicates that the European countries you are exploring have high debt to gdp ratios, some higher than Canada.
Hi, thanks for watching our video and taking the time to respond. We try to factor in as much as possible when we research new country. You were correct. The higher the debt, the more they are going to try and tax you. We will be doing a video in early July around different tax implications. We want to meet with our accountant first. The more research you do the better off you are going to be. Hope you can find time to check out our new video on taxes. And in the meantime try to check out our leaving Canada series. ua-cam.com/video/6DDMSG288-U/v-deo.htmlsi=ZaJe5o4_Xx7405nl ua-cam.com/video/FIrkrLTla5k/v-deo.htmlsi=LqBCbiZ_a2RYDcbx ua-cam.com/video/e1SdC2CjVog/v-deo.htmlsi=BbrwIp_otf8PUczl ua-cam.com/video/eWvKN2p4QyA/v-deo.htmlsi=k6LaEo63GDFu7JJk
Yes the pension helps. Defined benefit pension plans are going the way of the cuckoo bird. I strongly recommend contributing to your RSP‘s and TFSA when you are young. But the big problem now is it is so hard to get ahead and save due to the cost of living in Canada. We were lucky. Timing was good for us. That’s why we recommend finding a country where the timing is right for you. Thanks so much for watching our video I’m taking the time to respond.
I left public service early and am entitled to cash in part of my pension. Considering cashing it in. Already living abroad but still paying taxes in Canada. I want to officially tell cra I'm out to not have to pay taxes in Canada anymore. But wondering if I should cash in before or after officially saying I'm a non resident.
Hi there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. We are meeting with our accountant July 4. We will put a video out shortly there after with different tax implications.

Hey thanks so much. You know when I started, I think the first 100 subscribers - seemed the toughest. We really hustled to get the first 100. We chatted to people and then say hey - "you should subscribe". It was both embarrassing and humiliating at the same time, In other words it was a grind! To add to the difficulties, I did not have any tech savvy on how to put a long video together, so at first I only did shorts. Consistency - is key. Ok I'm number #76😎 Keep up your good work! Cheers, Jill
@@jillpemberton1434 Wow! Thank you for those inspiring words! It does seems that the subscriber pace has picked up after the first 20 and now my goal is 100 ☺️ It’s hard to know what people like so I just make videos that I find peaceful and calming 😚 I’m new to making videos but I work with IT so at least I’m used to computers 😅 And a very big welcome to the channel! I hope at least some of my videos suits you, I’d really like to hear some input 😇
Hi there, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Here is Goodbye Canada series- they are much more informative. it's a 3 part series. The second video discusses residency and costs. The third discusses healthcare. ua-cam.com/video/6DDMSG288-U/v-deo.htmlsi=ZaJe5o4_Xx7405nl ua-cam.com/video/FIrkrLTla5k/v-deo.htmlsi=LqBCbiZ_a2RYDcbx ua-cam.com/video/e1SdC2CjVog/v-deo.htmlsi=BbrwIp_otf8PUczl We will be focusing on each country - our next video will be Mexico. We head to Europe in the summer. Thanks again for watching and the feedback. Cheers, Jill
Rich and retired Canadians that paid off their houses and going for cheaper countries. lol. If you are a young working Canadian, wgat are yiu going to do for work in Mexico, Spain or Philippines? You have no clue of the language, the culture and politics or work.
Hi there, Yes we are retired. We have both worked hard all our lives. We are creating these videos to show people options. There are so many places where you can go to reduce your cost of living, reduce taxes and receive better healthcare. Both my sons are millennials. They share like so many young Canadians, the struggle to make ends meet. If I was young again or even in my 40s I would be spending every minute learning a new skill to work digitally. We would have met thousands of young people, who are working overseas digitally. If you work hard, you have choices. I arrived in Vancouver 36 years ago with $500.00 in my bank account. I had no job, no friends, no family, no home, no job experience. My only experience had been milking cow, so everything I owned smelled like the cows too. Anything is possible, you just have to work for it and take a leap of faith. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
So disappointed, I thought you will give more info for Canadiens , in which country you reside ,where do you pay taxes , have a bank accounts ,etc , etc .this video is like hundreds of others, sorry for negative comments
Hi Kriysian, Sorry that you feel disappointed with this last video. We have residency in Mexico but we actually don't really live anywhere! We are living around the world globally. We still have Canadian bank accounts but we are still searching for true international banking. Currently we are in Mexico, back to Canada for 2 weeks, UK, Spain, Italy Australia for the rest of the year. We are also looking at residency for either Spain, Portugal or Italy. How we fund our travel and who looks after our portfolio / A complete guide to Mexican residency along with our contact in Mexico...is found in this video. Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/FIrkrLTla5k/v-deo.htmlsi=LqBCbiZ_a2RYDcbx As for taxes, it's too premature to give the details yet - we meet with our accountants in July. We just want to be accurate and maybe even have our accountant on with us. Our Portfolio manager might also come onto our channel. For this healthcare please watch this video. Part 3 ua-cam.com/video/e1SdC2CjVog/v-deo.htmlsi=BbrwIp_otf8PUczl Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/6DDMSG288-U/v-deo.htmlsi=ZaJe5o4_Xx7405nl Nomad life ua-cam.com/video/eWvKN2p4QyA/v-deo.htmlsi=k6LaEo63GDFu7JJk Hope this helps, please reach out to us if you ever have any questions, Thanks, Jill

The west has peaked and is in decline. I’m staying until retirement most likely and I’m totally fine with that but I can see with channels like this , there are incredible options out there.

Thanks for putting these videos together, they are wonderful. We left Canada in 2021 for the same reasons, it took a while to get over feeling sad about our country.... but we have met so many amazing people and feel the sense of connection here in Mexico. Who knows where we will end up! Life is good🩷
Our pleasure! I just love sharing these experiences and hopefully motivate people to realize they can do this too. What part of Mexico ? We are in Cabo right now. We head to Europe in July.- November and then Australia.

I agreed from England UK. Just need to get away from the western governments. I am not the UK government's bitch 😂
I just turned 60 and the plant I worked at closed and moved manufacturing out of Canada! Way too expensive to operate here. So I have been looking to retire elsewhere as well. I have been to Mexico 3 times, but on resorts, I'm worried about crime! I think it is very important to talk about. Also been looking at Panama and Costa Rica. Look forward to more info about leaving Canada and details about doing so.
Hi there!
Well you have come to the right place!
We have permanent residency for Mexico but we do not live here - we visit. We did it for tax purposes. We don't actually live anywhere🤣
watch this video. What about Portugal? Spain? Italy? Thailand ?
ua-cam.com/video/eWvKN2p4QyA/v-deo.htmlsi=ZDlmdeN0ZVUrLk_B
Mexico, if you don't do drugs and don't do stupid things you are fine. I have never once felt unsafe here. It is getting to be more expensive. There are some great expat communities here in Mexico.

Programmed like robots!! Luckily (careful planning) we own our home in BC free and clear, and have over 1 million in an investment portfolio, plus our home is worth $800,000, its up for sale, hoping to pull the plug this year, and put everything into our investment portfolio!! You guys are a great inspiration!!!! We do NOT plan to own a home again, maybe when we are 90 and come back to Canada, then we will buy a small condo, or we will rent!!! We can easily rent in Thailand, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and any other place, why buy? Renting you can leave anytime you want, maybe lose a damage deposit.
Hi Klee,
Well, you guys are going to have to let us know when you get your " Get out of jail" card! 🤣 I hope everything goes well for you guys. Remember no storage lockers.
Maybe one days our paths will cross. We are back in BC for two weeks, then we head to Europe. We are starting in the UK.
We don't sign any leases, so there are no damage deposits to worry about.
Cheers,
Jill
@@jillpemberton1434 We have some valuable art, we can't sell easily, we will (unfortunately) need a small storage unit (believe me I hate the idea), unless I can make an arrangement at a Vancouver gallery to sell on commission, and store it for us (that might work)
We are following your chanell, most of our travels planned for Europe and SE Asia, Mexico is not on our list. No doubt you 2 will return to SE ASIA!!! We will meet up for sure at some point, why not???
Love your videos, honest and straightforward!!!!
Good to hear that there is movement afoot! good luck with everything, and I hope to be on your heals!
I now rent living in Quebec..Want to be mobile and ready to make the move. It’s getting too crazy here for me..Just got back from a 6 week exploratory vacation in Thailand to see how the expats live..Definitely heading back..Rent-rent-rent..Never will I buy anywhere
@@Sofaguy101 Yes Thailand is it for my wife and I, 7 triops, many many months in SE Asia, Thailand wins hands down!! Always rent, never buy
It's sad to say that even if you ARE a homeowner WITH a 'free-&-clear' home....try missing a few Property Tax payments and see who owns your home!
Hi there,
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to connect with us.
Yup in Canada - we ask Canadians particularly who owns your home? The over reach of government and taxation is simply unacceptable.

Glad you like the content. 😌
We both appreciate good value. We went on two luxury live aboard dive boats- they were expensive but the quality of experience was worth every penny. It's not about being cheap. To us value, experience is everything at this point of our life.
Well, we are definitely enjoying our travels and seeing the world. No where is perfect but it's sure fun exploring the options.
We are heading to Europe this summer in July - October and then Australia and Africa - so much more to come!

We have 3 years left here in "Kommie-Fornia" until our youngest is done with high school. Then we are selling our big house and buying a condo in Florida as a US home base. We also have a home in Romania where the money ratio is 1 USD to 4.5 RON. We will be using our Romanian home as a launching point to slow travel Eastern and Western Europe and our US home to slow travel the rest of the world.
Hi Steven,
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to write to us, Ha ha Kommie-Fornia🤣🤣🤣 I think more and more people are so fed up with the mismanagement of tax dollars. There are so many place around the world that offer real value.

Thank you for another good video in your series. Seeing and hearing how happy you both are makes me happy I left early as well. Don't let the negative comments from the people that are truly never happy discourage more videos. The grass can be greener, well the sand is much nicer anyways and I am proof you can live a happy and full life on less money. And having finances set up properly ensures you should never run out of money, and then when I hit 60 I get CPP. Slow/longer stay travel helps for sure. It is not always the destination, but the journey. Happy Trails
And happy trails to you guys as well. There are so many people who do not realize how exorbitant our cost of living is in Canada , When compared to other countries. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
I’m looking forward to hearing all about KL. Thanks for your videos.
Hi there,
Yes! We are working on Mexico first and KL should follow. I have to begin on telling you how much I love KL!
We took out Mexican residency but that was due to our familiarity and the proximity of Mexico to Canada. KL opened our eyes wide open!

Big time fed up with 🇨🇦. Very disappointed. The dream of 1967 is dead
Hi Mike,
I feel like that I don't even recognize Canada anymore. We head back to Canada for two weeks this year but that's it!
We have better healthcare, lower taxes a far better quality of life. We are going to look at either Spain, Italy or Portugal for a second residency. I think never has been more important than to stay diversified and free,

great video! I'd like to know more about how you travel so much and still stay so fit! you both look amazing and must work out frequently? Also, do you buy fresh food at local markets and cook at home quite a bit? It would be interesting to hear about this part of your life too. Thank you!
Hi there,
Thanks so much for watching and for reaching out to us.
Yes - we should do something in a video to incorporate what a month or week actually looks like.
Well, fitness and eating healthy has always been part of our lifestyle, through out our lives. We eat out mostly but do cook when we can. For example - we always make our own breakfast and snacks - then eat out for dinner.
We eat lots of vegetables ,tofu, fish and chicken. I am mainly vegetarian but occasionally I have fish and chicken. I still love my pizzas though!🤣.
I think we eat a lot healthier - because food is more affordable and plentiful. .
We are both not too caught up with gyms - because as you travel, it can be difficult to establish a game routine. So pretty much anywhere we go walk and walk and walk. We also do about 15 minutes of a mix of pushups for arms and shoulders , various exercises for the core and a leg work out with various types of lunges. We both love to hike - so we hike when possible,
@@jillpemberton1434 thanks for your response Jill! that makes a lot of sense and sounds like a good way to stay fit while travelling. My husband and I are planning to move and live abroad as well so I was really curious. I know from experience staying fit and living a healthy lifestyle does not happen without a level of intention - although I am sure having such low stress plays an enormous role in how good you look and feel :) Have a fantastic day
Hi from a fellow Canadian. I am wondering if you are factoring in the government debt and taxes of the countries you are exploring. My research indicates that the European countries you are exploring have high debt to gdp ratios, some higher than Canada.
Hi, thanks for watching our video and taking the time to respond. We try to factor in as much as possible when we research new country. You were correct. The higher the debt, the more they are going to try and tax you. We will be doing a video in early July around different tax implications. We want to meet with our accountant first. The more research you do the better off you are going to be. Hope you can find time to check out our new video on taxes. And in the meantime try to check out our leaving Canada series.

You haven't been to the Philippines?? Oh my .. missed half of your life.
So much easier to retire when you have a pension most people dont have that so the stress go up huge
Yes the pension helps. Defined benefit pension plans are going the way of the cuckoo bird. I strongly recommend contributing to your RSP‘s and TFSA when you are young. But the big problem now is it is so hard to get ahead and save due to the cost of living in Canada. We were lucky. Timing was good for us. That’s why we recommend finding a country where the timing is right for you. Thanks so much for watching our video I’m taking the time to respond.
I left public service early and am entitled to cash in part of my pension. Considering cashing it in. Already living abroad but still paying taxes in Canada. I want to officially tell cra I'm out to not have to pay taxes in Canada anymore. But wondering if I should cash in before or after officially saying I'm a non resident.
Hi there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. We are meeting with our accountant July 4. We will put a video out shortly there after with different tax implications. In the meantime we have left a link for our leaving Canada series. There’s some good information there.

🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😅
Hey thanks so much. You know when I started, I think the first 100 subscribers - seemed the toughest. We really hustled to get the first 100. We chatted to people and then say hey - "you should subscribe". It was both embarrassing and humiliating at the same time, In other words it was a grind!
To add to the difficulties, I did not have any tech savvy on how to put a long video together, so at first I only did shorts.
Consistency - is key. Ok I'm number #76😎
Keep up your good work!

Where did you learn to read?
Hi there. Thanks for watching our video and taking the time to respond. We were both educated in Canada. I am curious why are you ask.
Rich and retired Canadians that paid off their houses and going for cheaper countries. lol. If you are a young working Canadian, wgat are yiu going to do for work in Mexico, Spain or Philippines? You have no clue of the language, the culture and politics or work.
Hi there,
Yes we are retired. We have both worked hard all our lives. We are creating these videos to show people options.
There are so many places where you can go to reduce your cost of living, reduce taxes and receive better healthcare.
Both my sons are millennials. They share like so many young Canadians, the struggle to make ends meet. If I was young again or even in my 40s I would be spending every minute learning a new skill to work digitally. We would have met thousands of young people, who are working overseas digitally. If you work hard, you have choices.
I arrived in Vancouver 36 years ago with $500.00 in my bank account. I had no job, no friends, no family, no home, no job experience. My only experience had been milking cow, so everything I owned smelled like the cows too. Anything is possible, you just have to work for it and take a leap of faith.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
@@jillpemberton1434 you got lucky. A house in North Van was selling for 220k in the 90s Now about 1.2 million. It's expensive everywhere in the world.
So disappointed, I thought you will give more info for Canadiens , in which country you reside ,where do you pay taxes , have a bank accounts ,etc , etc .this video is like hundreds of others, sorry for negative comments
Hi Kriysian,
Sorry that you feel disappointed with this last video.
We have residency in Mexico but we actually don't really live anywhere! We are living around the world globally. We still have Canadian bank accounts but we are still searching for true international banking.
Currently we are in Mexico, back to Canada for 2 weeks, UK, Spain, Italy Australia for the rest of the year. We are also looking at residency for either Spain, Portugal or Italy.
How we fund our travel and who looks after our portfolio / A complete guide to Mexican residency along with our contact in Mexico...is found in this video. Part 2

As for taxes, it's too premature to give the details yet - we meet with our accountants in July. We just want to be accurate and maybe even have our accountant on with us. Our Portfolio manager might also come onto our channel.
For this healthcare please watch this video. Part 3

@jillpemberton1434 Excellent information. Sold my Toronto condo and retired a year ago. Currently in Thailand, moving on to SW Scotland next month (hold both British and Canadian passports). I really appreciate your channel ❤
It's North American nightmare now.😏
Yes sadly it is.
Make sure you watch our Goodbye Canada series

The west has peaked and is in decline. I’m staying until retirement most likely and I’m totally fine with that but I can see with channels like this , there are incredible options out there.
