I'm definitely thinking about it.

I'm trying to get to the point I can live here and maintain a place there also.

I'm up in the air re Mexico City vs The Yucatan.... i love the beach but the Yucatan gets so damn hot and humid.
we bought a complete reno in Cozumel in the state of Quintana Roo a few years ago
if you can get local prices its not too expensive, property taxes and utilities are cheap
when its finished, we will use it as a vacation home and then retire
Cozumel is an island with only 100k people , but its real touristy in spots because of the cruise crowd.
A lot of people like Merida in Yucatan, has about a million people and there is a huge breh expat community there.

Mexico is actually one of the world's whitest countries, so it makes sense.

Per CIA stats, largest white populations outside of Europe:
10) South Africa
9) Mexico
8) Colombia
7) Venezuela
6) Brazil
5) Canada
4) United States
3) Chile
2) Australia
1) Argentina

Doesn't even account for how many mixed Mexican/White and Mexican/Jewish people live in Mexico and South America.

Additionally, watch that video. The one thing I see there is the country has art, soul and culture resonating through it.

It has culture because it didn't sell out any of their arts programs.

I don't get it either. I wouldn't even dream of doing it.
You’d live like a king anywhere in Latin America on a U.S. pension or 401k

When I retire from my city job I’m moving to panama. Uncle did it, his pension only 60k but you wouldn’t know it. He got a beachfront condo down there with a maid that come 2x a week
