Our life in Morelia Mexico | Moving To Mexico 

@belltowndaisy well, it is definitely quite the experience lol. Very expensive but you will get an experience. I am sure. Both good and bad things of course 😀

$250 a month 😳

Awesome! 👏👏👏 May I ask, what neighborhood? We’ve visited Altozano and the homes there are beautiful! Or are you in the outskirts of Morelia?

Thank you!! 😊

Yes, but it’s a bit noisy and might get bit up by the mosquitoes

Aww we are so happy to hear that! 🥰 Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Is there anything that you would like to see or that we can improve on?

I hope it all works out for you! 😀

Si, gracias!!

You’re very welcome

Igual!! 🙌

You’re very welcome! The weather was one of our biggest reasons for coming here. It’s like 70’s and 80’s it depends on the season. Right now it is the rainy season so it low 50’s and high about 80. That’s awesome about your water tank! We love BCS and we especially love La Paz, however it’s a bit too hot for me over there

@@chasingtheAmericanDream what… you don’t like 105°? 😂

@@rvseeingyou Noooooo 😂🤣

Cool!

No mames el pais si es mierda

Thank you so much my friend! 🙏🏻

Yes! Especially if you don’t live in a gringo town/city

Wow!! 20 years is a long time! Thank you for your recommendations!

Thank you 😀

We love it here!

Hola mi hermano! Unfortunately we will be leaving Morelia within the next couple of days. We won't be here when you are here. But please, feel free to continue to reach out when you are in the area so that if we are here at the same time we could get a coffee! Gracias por tu amabilidad! 🙏🏻

Yesss

I was born in Morelia but live in California since 86 Planning to move back.

@@marlenesujeri30 that’s great!

@chasingtheAmericanDream I passed my personal info to SirDragonX so we can make contact.

It was a great apartment! Plenty of room! I think that there are not as many furnished rentals in Morelia (off Airbnb) as compared to some other places in Mexico such as the Lake Chapala area. They do definitely exist it just may be a bit harder to find. I suggest you join a Facebook group for Morelia rentals.

Thank you so much! We will miss Morelia but we hope to come back soon! Stay posted for a video discussing that

Hello! Great question! We will do a video on that!

@@chasingtheAmericanDream looking forward to it! 👍

I think you will be just fine. I don't know when you plan on moving, but you can practice and learn Spanish now. There are many different apps. online to help you get started. I'm 100% African American and I think I will be fine. Right now I am teaching myself Spanish. I want to live , eat, embrace everything about Mexico. 💖

Yes! What does californicated mean?

@@chasingtheAmericanDream Californicated: Flooded with wealthy gringos (usually Californians or New Yorkers) who move to these places and jack up the prices so that only rich people can afford to live there.

A bunch of different things 😂 Teaching, RU-vid channels, and we are also landlords

You got it. I'm so sorry to hear about this. Are you from the United States currently? I'm going to put out a video dedicated to this comment. Please be on the lookout for it. And you be well also 🙏🏻

@@chasingtheAmericanDream AN UNUSUALLY LONG RESPONSE: 😃 Hello & thank you so much for reading & responding. That’s awesome. It’s great to hear that you’re going do a piece on helping those of us that wish to follow, to a greater frontier or new beginnings! I do still reside in the US. * In your opinion, what is the lowest monthly income in US $ needed for one person to live very modest to modestly? By modest I mean simple comfortability and safety? Say a “clean”, yet small place, in a good neighborhood. * What is the minimum you would unofficially recommend to get one’s feet on the ground? * What areas would you recommend for others like myself to look at for relocating? * Is it possible to connect with a local, who is trustworthy who for a fee would be willing to help? * Also what’s your experience with cost for medical? From your perspective & those you’ve met since living there? Say, there Vs here in the US? * Any other information you think is good to know, that maybe people don’t realize until they’re already there. Because this in a response to a comment, I doubt many will see this. So, I’ll speak more on a personal level. I have a few medical issues two being a bullet lodged in my back next to spine & ptsd. With the “war on opioids” being waged against honest pain patients like myself, those fighting cancer like my mother, MA, all dealing with pain from things we never wanted. We’re being taken off all such medications. Quality of life already hard, made so much worse. And with every violent crime on the news, every night, comes the memories of my own. I want to get away from all of the craziness. Coupled with a lack of affordable housing, the lacking things like dental, vision, and any meaningful medical. I truly feel like a move like this would be so beneficial for my health, for my life, on so many levels. You taking the time to read and respond is great. I really appreciate it. To do an episode on this topic is…really cool of you. Like laying the groundwork or a rough road map to “how to make this happen”. I’ll be waiting & watching! Thank you and Be well…Ian Thank you for the 🙏…means allot to me.

​@@BluesStraightFromTheHarpour prayers are with you my brother. Stay strong and it's a privilege to help if I can.

@@chasingtheAmericanDream You all are living the dream…a dream I’ve had for a very long time. Thank you for helping!

@@BluesStraightFromTheHarp we're trying and so happy to share the experience! 🙏🏻

I hope that if you want to move to Mexico, you can do so safely 👌

Thanks, if I wanted to edit differently I would but the way I edit is on purpose. I like for things to look raw and real. I've had many subscribers comment that they enjoy my videos better than other people's because of the editing👍

@@chasingtheAmericanDream Okay and you guys make awesome content😇

@@Re..creator Thank you so much!

😀☺️

I never said that Mexican people don't use ovens. I said that they don't typically use ovens. By your own admitted statistics I am correct. Also, This information was given to us by our Mexican family (of which we have a lot) over here in mexico. We've also traveled a great deal throughout Mexico and this was one of the only places that actually had an oven. The cistern in the garage gets filled with water from the well and then it gets sucked to the roof to be held in the tinaco. We know this because we have to periodically fill the cistern because the well doesn't provide enough water.

Actually, if you watch our videos, you will see that is not the case. We show both the GOOD and BAD. We show Mexico for how it really is not for how people may want to see it as or how people perceive it from watching the news. In this particular video, we were sharing where we personally lived in Morelia. Not everything in Mexico is cheaper, I actually did a video explaining what things are more expensive in Mexico and vise versa.

What exactly does this mean? When price gentrification happens it's due to the Mexican people owning the homes who raise their rates unscrupulously for foreigners. I believe you should be talking to the Mexican people.

@@chasingtheAmericanDreamyes your partially correct but don’t over pay causing gentrification e.g. see Texas due to Californians and New Yorkers
