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 KZread comments for your reply. Again, thanks for your help in this matter.

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.

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. 😅 🙂

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!

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 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...

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!

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 🇲🇽

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.

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.

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

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.

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 kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaufsKaairSqnqw.html

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?

@JoseArteagaTravels

2 ай бұрын

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.

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 KZread 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 am in Guadalajara in this video in el Mercado de Abastos

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

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.
