I've been traveling down to Sonora and Baja since I was a kid, I can tell you with 100% certainty the Mexican people are the friendliest most kind helpful people you will ever meet in your life hands down. Just try to remember it's their country so treat them with respect

I’m on my way to La Paz for retirement in January 2025. Taking Spanish lessons now. I’m 68 and gonna go for another adventure in my life before I die. The U.S. is in trouble and I won’t bad mouth it but I’m tired of all the hate and division. I want PEACE…I’m hoping La Paz will be that for me. Thanks for the encouragement!

Let's get rid of pretentious high quality life standards and start enjoying simple things in life, is when we get free.

I’m slowly convincing my husband to get the hell out of the US. I’m a nurse and can’t even afford to live life here. Everyday is a stressful day. I just can’t do it anymore. Thanks for your videos. I appreciate them!

No more complaining for me!! Because I just immigrated to México!! The stress is melting away... ¡¡Gracias México!! 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🙏 🇲🇽 🇲🇽

Jose you get me all fired up about at least spending some time in Mexico, and integrating in the culture thank you for your work.

18 years ago! 100% relaxed. Married to a beautiful Yucateca! I'm assimilated. It's not difficult. Just Do It...

I have traveled to several cities in Mexico and Guadalajara is the city that I liked the most, it has spring like weather the whole year, I plan to go live in Guadalajara in the near future.

I am all good foreign people moving to my country as long they know and have dull respect about our traditions and culture of our way of life , don't come and do what you want .

So true, in México we still have a complete individual freedom as long as you respect the other...congrats José.

we're half the way there. we got our Temporal resident visa in February. counting the days when I can retire and move to Mexico.

Timing is everything! You met your Wife! You moved to MX right on time!!

A good pep talk just when I really needed it. I ate at a Mexican restaurant here in Grand Rapids today while pretending in my head that I was down there. I spoke some Spanish at the restaurant and kind of surprised the lady and made her smile.

you are always so informative. this is the real Mexico.thank you

I really enjoyed this video. Guadalajara is where I'm from, and I feel nostalgic just watching 👀 this video. I really can't wait to go back and retire there, God willing. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos. God bless you and your family.

I'm an artist and that's one of the main reasons I'm coming to Mexico

I completely agree with you. Only have one life to live

You are truly genuine. Gracias Jose.

Amazing straight encouragement

Thank you, Jose. You make it sound like coming to Mexico is the best treatment for whatever ails us! I really want to, everyone will say I'm crazy, there is prejudice, but I find the idea exciting! The market is peaceful and beautiful... I'm working on it! From Florida.

Thanks for telling it how it is! Is not about luxury and the VIP life, sure if you have some income you can, but it also means to be who you really are and have something for yourself or at least enjoy the life you are having

Thanks, again!! This was exactly what we needed to hear. I am not going to be afraid anymore of making this choice. My husband and I are going to Oaxaca in October. It’s looking like the best fit for us and we really appreciate your input and insight. Man, everything you said: YES. We get the most of it. We’re grateful for you and will continue to watch your videos. Gracias!!!!😊

Even the troops look happy. 😊🇲🇽 ✌🏽

I'm so happy for you in Mexico. Latin women are the best. After dating a Mexican lady for a year, well... I know how lucky you are. I'm getting closer to moving. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Selling everything I own and working on my home for market. I'm hoping in the next 3 to 4 months. I am working with your lawyer down there. I can't wait to put the stress of America behind me. Thank your for your spirit and inspiration. Sometimes I get down and watching your content helps me to refocus. Been working on my espanol and hoping to be fluent in 6 years. I just want a simple life.

E X C E L L E N T ! ! ! 💯👍😀

I fly to Guadalajara Wednesday for a few days to fall in love and hopefully i plan to get out the states and live there. Cant wait!!!

Muchas gracias ☝🏼🌈㊗️ y les saluda una tapatía desde Michigan USA

I’ve been there Great place. Thanks for showing it.

We are, we are!

I'm always complaining about the USA and I've never even been there 😮😂😉 ,,, but seriously great stuff as ever Jose .😊

Every time I go, I stay a little longer... one of these days...one of these days.😊

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 RU-vid comments for your reply. Again, thanks for your help in this matter.

Great video! This episode's message is right on. I work for a US company Monday through Friday so my work life in Mexico is pretty much the same as it would be north of the Rio Grande but on Friday afternoon after clocking out I am mentally and emotionally in Mexico! My wife and I have a few drinks and listen to all kinds of music. It is such a 180 mentally. Unfortunately during the week I stick to my American work schedule and soak up US news and politics. Maybe that is because we live right across the border? Peace out!

Thaks for being so real, Jose. :-) It's your gift. ♥

If i move to mexico it is not because life sucks wherever i am it would only be because i love the Mexican people , period. The world is an awesome adventure. However the Mexican people are some of the most solid i have come across on this journey we call life

Nice to see you guys traveling! Guadalajara looks really nice.

Keep it coming brother!

Dude... Great video and you capture the whole story in such a straightforward and clear way. Love it❤❤

Hi! I've never seen your channel before but I like it! Funny how you're describing Mexico is the way they used to describe the U.S. When I was a kid we used to say "it's a free country" or "mind your own business" You don't hear those phrases anymore and there's a reason for that. Thanks for making the video!

I did it 46 years ago

You always make me want to go back to my home in Mexico, been in the US for a few years and already getting tired of it here, it’s just different, I can’t really explain it but it drains you so much compared to living in Mexico, even if you have less things over there, somehow you are happier

Jose Te felicito por mostrar otros Lugar Merida es Hermoso Pero tambien me alegra ver otros lugares pues no puede viajar debidi a mi fobia.a viajar

Full respect

Thanks!

I’m subscribed to your channel and look forward to your videos. This video shows a lot of armed security, can you expand upon that?

Awesome video ❤

Jose wise words thank you, you are my hero, and I'm glad you are living a full and happy life.

Gracias amigo por hablar bien de México no como lis medios de EU hermosos videos..❤😊

Jose l been watching you videos and they are very interesting and very objective l hope l can see you next time l go to mexico merida

If you are thinking about visiting the Mercado de abastos or San Juan De Dios during your visit to Guadalajara i suggest you 1.get there early if you want to drive there . 2. Take public transportation 3. Take a rental bike or 4. Uber / taxi there.

I live in Atlixco, Puebla MX. Best town in the world from my experience so far. I'm trying to form a group. Most are clueless as to what is right here and are content to suffer or worse. If you know any like minded people, lets talk!

Ohh I'm definitely moving back to Mexico 🇲🇽 but I need my house to sale in $850,000 and then I move to Jalisco MeXico 🇲🇽

I’m glad you’re keeping it real, we are foreigners in a foreign land! Immigrants and not expats!

Gracias

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. 😅 🙂

Great video

I love PVR and your insight. Hope to get to go the Yucatan one day. ☮💖

José keep getting me fired up!

That grocery store looks nice! I see fish for sale! I would make fish tacos with those thank you sir

I'm moving to Mexico with the money I pay in utilities in the US 600 a month I live comfortably in Mexico.

Hopefully, when I visit Merida, I’ll be able to meet you and Christine!

Great commentary, and I am only at 2:43 seconds!

This video reminded me of another RU-vid channel I used to follow during the time he was building a house in Nicaragua. The Name of his channel if I remember correctly was: STOP HAVING A BORING LIFE LOL funny name for a channel but he was keeping himself busy... I think he may have stopped RU-vid now but you might still find remnants of his channel. Thanks for sharing this video... I always love looking around any town you tour..

Guadalajara is one of my favorite cities in mexico

The food looks fresh and amazing! Cuantos por un plato? Gracias amigo!

I love GDL 😊

Your family, helps! I would be alone with a toddler..

❤

Jose the United States is a stressful country that i feel like snapping sometimes!

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.

My nieces husband has a has a bodega there. He hits it out of the park. Augustine does rather well.

Jose Puedes mostrar lo moderno de cada Lugar a donde vas?😅 GRACIAS.

Walking tours 👍

When I finally get my butt down there to Merida, I'm gonna come and shake your hand, lol 🎉❤😂

Tables are turning, migration now is north to south

*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...

Thank you, you've provided so many videos. I'm moving to Merida. Visited in February and fell in love with Merida and their beautiful people. Keep up the good work. God Bless you.

Despite the fact that in the United States there has always been a very bad press with Mexico, I have to admit that those who end up appreciating my country are always foreigners. 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.

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.

just bougth my land , moving there

A restaurant in Guadalajara says "Vida hay una tallas muchas."

Hola Jose

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

I think it's easier for men than it is for woman!

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 🇲🇽

Can you show yourself speaking Spanish? How many years have you lived there? Did you speak Spanish before moving there?

Jose I like your tips about inviting usa citizens to move to mexico for a better life but can you also mention not to try to come and change our culture because it's been going on some of them are coming and trying to change our way of living thanks

Hola Jose...when is the q&a with your Mexican lawyer buddy, is that tomorrow at 8pm et? Gracias mi amigo

They start complaining here

#MPM

Question. Not retired yet still need to wrk - what are the job opportunities ? But would love to move know

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?

Why are so many Americans not happy living in the USA?

las guanábanas

Does Mexico sell tallow or ghee butter?

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 RU-vid videos. Wages are very low.

What city u in Merdia

While it's clear there are parts of Mexico that are relatively safe and comfortable, I believe the country will take a downward turn in the coming decades, not unlike the United States and many Western European countries. The organized crime in Mexico is out of control, and nobody seems to be able to do anything about it other than let it metastasize. You'll wind up becoming a Sicily where the only people that can get on there are the locals who know each other and what's going on behind closed doors - lol. Expats from the U.S. and Canada will eventually leave because the country will return to what it used to be, which is similar to Equador and Nicarauga's current situation. I would LOVE to move to Mexico ... LOVE TO... but I see where things are going and it's not looking good.
