Marianna: You are an excellant interviewer, You know the right questions to ask and with understanding. Kudos to You

Tracie is a beautiful person inside and out. My husband and I came to look for housing. She was so welcoming. She also has a beautiful daughter.

My husband and I just decided to make San Miguel de Allende our home based on everything Tracie shared. We love it here! ❤

Your husband is so lucky because I've mentioned several times to my wife about relocating to another country when we retire and she frowned at it. Smh she's from Memphis so go figure.

​@slickwilly6868 My husband's from Memphis, and he's been flip-flopping on relocating abroad. He's very well traveled. It's just the process of purging belongings he's hung up on. I hope your wife comes around to the idea!

Im from Memphis,and she should never want to go back to that city.I felt safer in Kuwait during Desert Storm​@@slickwilly6868

This was a wonderful interview, Tracie is great! I'm so glad that she and her partner found a place that was welcoming and that they feel at home in. I love her enthusiasm for the Mexican culture, wanting to integrate into the community, and shop local.

OMG! I fell in love with Tracie, we’re a gay male couple of 28 years moving to Ajijic hopefully in 2025 not too far from San Miguel Allende. Mariana thank you for all you do with your KZread channel’s. I love watching all your videos and this interview was extremely enlightening. I look so forward to meeting you all one day soon. We will be buying your relocation magazine. I know we could’ve saved $100 during the holiday special but we don’t mind paying full price. I will be looking into purchasing it by the end of this year 2024. God bless you and Tracy. I hope to be your neighbor soon. Bob and Jim from Texas.❤

I love this! I’m moving to Merida but I love San Miguel De Allende! It’s actually where I made my decision.

LOVED hearing about Tracie and her family’s journey to SMA and how much they feel at home there. Thanks for sharing! 💛

thank you SO much. I wanted to watch live, got busy at work and ended up watching the video. VERY helpful. Love, love, loved it!!! I'll be in the area in the late March, early April time frame. Only 26 months till I retire. SO Excited!!! Thank you Mariana for your content. Awesome, as always!

I guess I'm so blessed my husband comes from San Miguel I live right now in Savannah Missouri we are going to Mexico soon probably to retire and buy a home there and probably open up a place where we can have businesses at we are so excited and that's where we're going to go lots of family there

In case anyone was wondering- Tracie, her spouse and daughter live on about $2500 USD a month for everything, all in. Rent, 26000 MXN Utilities $200 (CFE, Water, Internet) Everything else adds up to about $2500 usd a month - all in (including healthcare and personal care items)

Great interview. Just signed up for Tracie’s workshop!

Great interview!!!

I agree with the other folks, great video chat. Great information.

Hola from Atlanta, GA

Great interview. I would have liked to see her perspective for the cost of living, but then there are tools out there to calculate it

Gracias Mariana, I will review it. When I’m closer to retirement, I will contract your services. Planning on either Maza or SMA- ❤

Great interview! I’m looking to relocate and SMA is on my list. What are some neighborhoods to look into?

Great interview wish I caught the live.

Lived in Puerto Rico during the 70''s , we had Dengue Fever back then. You had to always boil your water, as bottled water/filtered water did not exist

Hola from Oregon, best walkable neighborhoods for Senior Citizen. Won't have a car. Thank you. I lived for a decade in BCS. Too $ and too hot for this Senior Citizen. Great interview!

I would have guessed Liberia

Looking for advice on transferring funds from my Wise account to my Mexican bank?

What's the average cost of two bedroom in San Miguel and are there bathtubs available in rentals

Also want to know if your bills are expensive in Mexico and also how much you can live on there to be comfortable

Great interview, I have been to both places. I truly believe that same sex marriages makes people uncomfortable. Especially religious groups. Sad but true.

Nice Interview! I don't understand why someone else would have to make her light-bulb come on! I would have assumed, right off the bat, that part of the housing problems were due to race and gender issues.

@MexicoRelocationGuide

Race and gender issues aren’t usually topics in Mexico as they are in other countries when it comes to housing or being able to rent a place I think it happened because too many foreigners leave without fulfilling their full year of rent

@@MexicoRelocationGuide, This is your expertise, so I am not qualified to debate. But I will say that Mexico has race and gender discrimination like every country does. I have read articles that state Mexico finally acknowledged or accepted Afro-Mexicans around 2015, less than ten years ago! I can personally say that I have been followed in stores and talked about by store employees while traveling in Mexico. (And yes, the conversation was about my race and gender!) I know Black Americans who have been mistaken for Africans or Haitians (by Mexican police) and disrespected until they produced a US passport or Mexican residency documents. While I do feel safer in Mexico, than I do in the US, I know that life for me in Mexico would be different if I were not a US citizen.

Bald African women 😂. I love, love, love that look on u 😅

Wow,you are beautiful ! Look like a 30 year old and not a day over ..... I love to know how old you are !? BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL

… thank you for the excellent interview … can we please have a conversation regarding toilets and toilet paper ? … it sounds like an issue that could become a very unpleasant problem … I understand the pipes are too old to handle the extra load on them … but do the newer houses and apartments going further out from town center have the same issues ?
