15 Best Places to Retire in Mexico in 2024 | What Parts of Mexico Are The Best to Retire?

The pronunciation of the place names really was painful to listen to. If it's true that the person who makes these videos just lets AI do the narrations, there are ways that the text can be changed to make sure the system pronounces the names correctly. For example, if you type into Google Translate, "I live in Ajijic", It'll say it incorrectly. But if you type it in as "I live in Ah-hee-heek", It'll read the place name correctly. Let's please be respectful of the countries and try to pronounce their place names correctly.

Learn how to pronounce those cities properly!

Buying property in Mexico is a big mess of backwards corrupt laws intended to allow lawyers and middle men to rip you off. The process of "protocalización" alone proves it. Nevermind the dangers of crime and cartel kidnappings.

I believe the narrator is an A.I. narrator in case you’re wondering about why it pronounces the city names incorrectly. Lol 😂

AH HEE HIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mexican goverment needs to make tax laws against foreign people who take advantage of our low cost of life just because have dollars. In our constitution there's a law that forbids sell of properties to any people who are not mexican. If any of you are buying properties, problably youre breaking the law....

OMG he can’t say Whutsockuh again…. Stop him!!!

Playa del carmen is not the same city before the plandemia, ugh …you can go there just for vacations because the ocean is pretty cool but the people in playa is getting pretty aggresive every single day. I used to live there and after 6 mounths I was jus very boring, small, town, nothing interesting to do there , just ocean and cenotes. is not really a good place to retired.

It’s not uatzaca it’s Oaxaca, (0ahaca) .

I agree! He incorrectly pronounced over half of the cities. It’s obvious he has never visited these cities. Did he bother to check the pronunciation of the cities? He mispronounced the cities over and over! I was extremely disappointed.

Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably amid economy crisis. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, do I pull cash from my 401k and buy a house, or spread my money in stocks for cashflow? I'd love to afford my lifestyle after retirement?

Please learn to pronounce name places before recommending them if you want to be take seriously.

What a great country 🇲🇽

AGUASCALIENTES CITY IN CENTRAL MÉXICO IS THE BEST AND SAFEST CITY TO LIVE IN MÉXICO

AGUASCALIENTES CITY IS THE BEST A D SAFEST CITY TO LIVE I MEXICO

I have an honorable city. For me, I would move to Ensenada, Baja California. It's close to the U..S. border. 2 hours away to San Diego and 4 hours away to L.A. It has the same climate as southern California , it's cheap, it has beaches , port, many tourists, and many things to do. Since I'm a military Veteran, I can go to the V.A. in San Diego.

Definitely AI generated. So sad. Too bad they can't teach AI to pronounce Mexican names correctly.

God the narrator doesn't even try Not to butcher the local names with the worst american accent Ever

Sounds like AI…

Why only turistic cities ?

We know greedy and corrupt politicians are stealing our tax dollars.

Real truth. Please always be alert and live a moral life.

Move to a country, that is safe and you can afford. Do not be fooled by the greedy and corrupt among us.

Queretaro
Do not take drugs.

I left the USA at 79 to a safer and less expensive country. USA is dangerous. And expensive.

End of our marriage. Deal breakers..

It's your MAN and never say boy or girl. Respect yourselves.

Everything is less expensive in Queretaro. With my USA pension. The minimum wage is $8.00 per 12-24 hours and 6 days
Not per hour, but per day.

Jesus, learn how to pronounce San Miguel de Allende and Ajijic.

If you are going to offer information about a city, learn how to pronounce it properly. Is this AI narrating?

What happened to your pronunciation? Are you a bot?

Can you live in Pla Dell Carmin with safety and not speaking Spanish other than a few words for less than 1600 a month USA dollars ?

I have never heard Guadalajara pronounced so badly. Had to go back and listen again. It was hilarious. 😂😂😂 is this AI… at its worst?

Horrendous pronunciation of these areas makes one question his knowledge.

I did not like his pronouncements and would of liked to of seen monthly average cost for each place.Cheers

DUDE!!!!! Pronounce it right!!! I’m embarrassed for u 😕😖

Why the narrator can't pronounce most of the cities names?. What is so difficult so a professional voice talent to do it right? It is a farce.

This dude has to be purposely mispronouncing these cities. No one would make a video without doing at least a little research. I'm assuming he did since he was telling us a little about each city.

These numbers are so inaccurate. Mexico City is one of the most expensive cities in the country. And the pronunciation of these cities is horrible. Do better and if you're going to speak on a place, get educated. And STOP using the term "cheap" bc it's not cheap for the natives.

Where did you get this narrator?? OMG!

OMG the pronunciations are so bad, I’m turning this off.

Wasaka? WTH? Oaxaca pronounced wahaca

Mexico has only a handful (few) safe places with low crime rate. 1) Merida, 2) Santiago Queretaro and 3) Puerto Vallarta area, 4) Monterey. Those are the safest cities there. Many US Expats also prefer Chapala Lake area near Guadalajara (Chapala, Ajijic etc.). However, those last places have no city life.

You forgot to add important information regarding safety. Mexico is inundated with mafia and cartels, and every single location you mentioned is overrun with mercenaries. Mexico is not safe anymore. This is the sad reality of 2023, and I’m telling you this despite being Mexican and working to promote Mexico as a tourist destination. IT IS NOT any longer. Don’t fall for these traps. Our country is at war.

Any recommendations for neighborhoods in CDMX with neighborhood feel, appropriate for active retirees? Trying to avoid high rises and hipsters. I'm assuming definition for hipster online is correct: pretentious, fashion conscious, counter culture, liberal.

Thanks for this excellent video. Greetings from lovely Cancun. 😎

The narrator really should learn to pronounce the names of cities and states in Mexico, sort of takes away from the authenticity of the presentation.

Live Like a Prince on Social Security in a Foreign Country!

If you’re bringing in $2,000 a month in an online business, pension or social security and you want to save half of that, I know where you can live nicely on $1,000 a month as a single person because I am doing exactly that…

Since retiring, Mexico has been a wonderful place for me to stay on occasion. I love Merida, but gone are the days of an automatic 180-day stay as Immigration officials began looking at the frequency of constantly returning tourists who rely on that 180 day tourist visa in lieu of getting “temporary residency” which now requires a monthly income or pension of $3,100 US per month as of 2023 depending on which Mexican consulate you visit in the US to apply.

As someone on the lower end of social security, I don’t qualify financially for temporary residency and I can no longer rely on a “180 day tourist visa” as many others have done. So what is a retiree to do?

Broaden your horizons and look farther away from the US.

I’m on a sub-poverty income level of around $25,000 per year and could barely make it living in a 55+ low-income apartment complex in Albuquerque, NM with living costs, a car and insurance. Now I live like a “Prince” (not a King) in a foreign country where prices are roughly 50-60% less than in the US and I don’t need to learn a foreign language to live here in this tropical climate.

My rent for a fully-furnished, 1-bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor with a balcony, and water & Internet included in the rent, is only $200 per month on a 6-month lease. All I pay is electricity where my aircon runs about 60% of the time. Cost is only $58.

So where am I living? Siem Reap, Cambodia. If you’re 55 or older you can get a 12-month, multiple-entry, “ER retirement visa” through any travel agency for $290. It’s renewable every year for $270 and you never have to leave the country to renew your visa. You also don’t need to prove your income, provide an FBI background check or have a vaccination or health certificate. Opening a local bank account is not needed either.

I’m actually able to live here on just $1,000 a month, so if Social Security is all you have, you may be able to live here just as easily. My SS income is automatically deposited into my US bank account.

I transfer $1,000 from that bank into my FREE, US-based Charles Shwab account and then withdraw those funds with their VISA debit card at the ATM here in Cambodia (or anywhere in the world). All ATM fees are reimbursed by Charles Shwab at the end of every month, so it’s just like walking into my local bank back home to pull out some cash… always free. Cambodia uses the US dollar as well as the local Cambodian currency called Riel.

You may receive a poverty-income, but you don’t need to “live” in poverty. Why settle for less in the US when you can thrive abroad on so little?

I found your video enjoyable and helpful. Pay no attention to those people criticizing you. I subscribed to your channel. Have a lovely day.

Why do a Video on Mexico When You are Unable to Pronounce Any of the Locations ?

I think one of the best places to retire in Mexico is Chiapas.Chiapas has a lovely climate, is affordable, great food, lovely ,friendly people . Also Todos Los Santos and Loreto in Baja California

Yes, I agree if you are going to make a video, the least you can do is learn how to pronounce the names of the cities. Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Morelia?
