So am I, I just need the financial income side to really align for me, I’m not retirement age still and genuinely still want a career similar to what I’ve done here in the U.S. or expand on that career while being in Merida.
Oxxo is like a 7-11 store. I have 3 units and my electric is 1000-2000 peso max ($50-100 max). My cell bill is 200 peso unlimited...($10) rent for 2 bedroom house on the beach in Encinada is only $500. I moved to Mexico almost 4yrs ago and best decision ever made but make sure they are not sticking it to you because you're ex pats. The people the culture, the pace of life the life style... I can breathe and enjoy life more👍
What I absolutely love is to hear that people from our culture and their culture are getting along with each other so nicely. In the states, which I will never understand, we seem to be at odds with one another. It hurts my heart to see that. Love her energy, and happy for her success there.
I loved this interview with Tyantha she kept it real. I agree we her, here in the United States we have been told so many lies about Mexico. Thank you Cartess for another informative and pleasant interview. ♥
Cartess, this interview was fun. Tell her stop looking for job. Mentor women who want to date. She can introduce them in group setting. Cut the middle man out. She can introduce people on the how to use the app and consult with them. She can create group meetups with mature professional people.😁
I enjoyed this young lady! She is so nice and real ! I bet she is from the Southern part of the US… Thanks for this interview ! I really enjoyed it! 👍🏾
I was glad to see this interview. She seems so likeable, relatable and down to earth just like you and your family. I need to lose some weight myself so when she said she did it without even trying that really got my attention, lol. I don't have any family so I'm going to have to adopt some. I'll claim you as my son because if I'd had ever had a son, I'd want him to be just like you.
@@adventuresofTy maybe I'll have to adopt you too, lol. BTW, is it true that Coke tastes different in Mexico. A friend swears they use a different formula down there. I visited Acapulco way back in the late 1990s and I don't remember it being any different at that time.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive I meant it. You're a hard working, devoted family man. You're smart , you offer a service that helps people. You like to laugh and you make others laugh. You that rare ability to be able to relate to people from all walks of life, all ages, etc. I bet you even like dogs, lol. All that combined makes for the best kind of people.
People don't understand how toxic the US is for our minds body and spirit. I'm a living witness that for now lives part-time, half the year in Mexico and I am healthier when I'm in Mexico. I thrive to be healthy in the US but it's much more of a struggle.
The way this interview blessed me…when she was sharing about the AC I promptly went outside and checked my meter and cut mine off in my house. LOL your story is so real…we’ve been in Conkal for one month and when I tell you Mexico will test you….it ain’t for the weak. Keep shining sistar I hope to see y’all in these Conkal streets
Oh, Tyantha is doing it right! It's amazing how much she has learned about living in Mexico in such a short period of time, she's just amazing. Wonderful interview!
😂 I was born and raised in Houston (but moved away a couple of years ago.) That heat is definitely something, at times. If Mexico has worse heat....welp. I have to remember that in my home search lol🤷🏽
I was 20, when I started to travel, and Mexico, mainly Acapulco, all 50 states, and around the world. I married twice and was widowed at 45 with a daughter 7. I am now 81, living in Queretaro. My daughter is 43 and she teaches English around the world , currently in Bali. You still must be alert against evil demons,
@Mexicolivingeveryminute no doubt however I feel certain cities have different qualities. Mexico City is not like Merida. It has its own flavor as do others. Merida is spiritual in my opinion. However if you are not receptive or inviting you can miss it.
Cartess...this interview with this Sister was so beautiful!! Yaw so funny...especially when you and this Sister started talking about dating life in Merida...Babby...I was laughing so hard...keep up the good work...looking forward to seeing more videos on apartments and house hunting...I really love your videos
Tyantha has infectious energy & an infectious laugh. I appreciate her sharing so much info. Wishing the best for her & her family. Great interview Cartess. 👍🏾
Please keep in mind most of us are not racist even in the USA. I work with many foreigners. The foreigners are great. We all get along almost 25 years. It's not like the media says. Again media tries to divides us here. But most of us don't fall for it. We are all human beings. Just trying to survive. Right? Heck with racist people. They are missing out.
Great interview as always. I Dont know the backstory of how she and her family got to Mexico so I’m not judging. But this is the importance of having an emergency fund. If you have to call people and get donations for $700 2 months in, you may have a hard road ahead. Also you have to get out of the vacation mode mindset. It seems she has learned that because she did address it. Wishing her much success in her future. Thanks for sharing.
That vacation mode is a real one, and a tough one for folks to leave alone. I know when we first got here, we ate out darn near every day because in our head, the food was cheap. But the thing about cheap is that is adds up to a significant amount of money at the end of the month... And then you do it again in month 2 and 3 before you know it, you blew through a bunch of money. Cheap ain't always cheap - it adds up and hits your pockets hard. We ate, went to the movies, went bowling, etc... And bam... your finances are down significantly, lol...
That her job, Match Maker Abroad- New Business!!! I am so happy you and your family are adjusting to Merida Mexico. Wish continue blessing for you and your family.
When I lived in Georgia I used to put down dey Quaker grits & it got rid of ants. Here in Arizona I use Borax Laundry detergent to keep most bugs away and it works.
Excellent conversation! It's helpful to see that not everything is sunshine and lemon drops for people who relocate and that there are challenges that arise. It's also great to see that she persevered and was able to overcome her challenges. Very inspiring!
So much great information about being a newcomer to Mexico. And I really like her approach to immediately look for solutions when hitting a bump in the road.
Having good manners is very common among men and women outside of the United States. We used to have that culture in the states until the 80's. You find good family values in most cultures around the world that are NOT liberal. Most families are conservative. I used to live in Mexico. There are hundreds of thousands of Black men and women in Mexico. There are over 2 million "Afro-Mexicans" in Mexico that "appear mixed". You should visit Cuajinicuilapa. It's known as the town with largest black population in Mexico. Most Mexicans have black grand parents or great grandparents.
@@adventuresofTy Your most welcome, working on getting my finances together so I can make my way to Mexico. Any advice on how you did it would be greatly appreciated. Fantastic interview you and Cartess had me cracking up laughing.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Just hearing you talk about your kids loving it in Merida warms my heart and gives me hope for my move with my 12-year-old son.
I enjoyed this interview. It showcases real life experiences living in Merida. I have to agree with both of you that in Merida/and its suburbs, one will find the most polite and courteous people I have ever met. My go-to example is from my 6-month full time stay (dozens of other visits/stays), but during my time living there in the Santiago neighborhood in centro, & as a single female senior, I was regularly greeted by (individuals or small groups) of junior high school students (male and female) who would say good morning or good afternoon, being seriously kind & courteous. Like that's gonna happen in the US anytime soon...
Great to see you guys thriving and living a good life. Kids definitely grow healthier both mentally and physically if they eat fresh fruits that are plentiful and inexpensive. Sadly the USA is keeping divided with the leaders there!
Looking at that gorge, happy, thriving Queen, no wonder folks line up to cut her grass! 😮❤ I'm loving the follow-ups, the proof is in the pudding. Thank you both :-D
It too bad that you did not read the tech spec on the box, but you could had gone to a computer repair shop, and they could had add more memory and install a solid state drive, and you would not need to purchase another laptop, But, you'll learn as you go, is nice that you are getting used to the climate and energy savings tricks there!!
I am so introverted and wary of strangers. If some guy just started cutting my grass, I would probably be ready to leave. I would automatically assume that I am about to get scammed, as a woman moving there with my husband (elderly like her father, possibly.) I do realize that I am going to need a lot more mental prep before leaving the states. I am all about being cautious; but I would never want to go to another country with a negative attitude, or feeling like I am under attack. Sorry, but Corpus Christi, TX has left a not-so-good taste in my mouth.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive I have had to get so accustomed to doing everything on my own in the states, due to a lifetime of men 'tryna help,' I am very cautious. They never help fr. Being married to my 71 year old husband does not make having to defend myself more easy/comfortable.
We are thinking to move to Merida (My wife is pushing me to move there). We are working to do it this o early next year. We bought property there (2 terrenos). Will be excited
Hey Cartess, you are always providing great information. I would like to know what hospital your guest went to. As you know I live in Cholul and Altibrisa is not far from my home. Can you let me know??
I am Mexico born. Taken to the US when 4 yrs. Old. My parents own a home in Mexico. But now have nothing paid into since in USA. What are the chances of our family claiming that land since dad’s passed?
Merida was too hot for me at 21. I speak Spanish as a second language, since age 14. My first plane ride was to get out of the horrible heat of Merida. Acapulco had to many earthquakes and hurricanes, so that was the deal breaker for this beautiful city.
Good question I see a lot video talking about " how to live in Mexico for $400 a month" ? But , yes the requirements for visa is high which no one seems to explain together in one cohesive sentence .
She looks good. Her face is slimmer. I go outside in 100 degree heat trying to get used to it lol. I’ve lived in Dallas. Louisiana cali and Florida but uhhh yea I’m still not use to it but I’m determined to adjust. What do you keep your thermostat at there
Hey! Thanks, I appreciate that. I typically keep it between 24-28. It depends. But it's best to run at night if your gonna just let it run. The cost, I've heard are less at night. ❤
If you want a more American experience that is as cheap as Mexico, try BRASIL I have lived here since 2002 off and on, from Florida The north is warm all year round - 75-90F - Joao Pessoa, Recife, Fortaleza, Salvador The south has a cooler winter - 50-80F, lot of rain - Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Florianopolis, RIO LOTS of YT videos online for any of these cities, so you can check them all out BRASIL is very americanized, Walmart bought out a grocery chain and went broke in 5 years and sold the stores. NO Costco, Walmart but Sam's Club is here, and a lot of other discount grocery (Carrefour, Bom Preco) and large stores for anything. Bought an apto here in Florianopolis over a year ago, really like it here, lot of people speak english, more European population here. Lived in the north in 2006-7. Prefer the north because the ocean is a lot warmer up there 75F, water stays around 60F in the south all year, too cold for me. Going back to the north next year.
I enjoyed your interview and enjoyed the information im gonna have to visit became i have a daughter younger and my young wife is in the medical field there may be something for her to do and work there alright peace and blessings beyond measure 🙏 ✨️ 🙌 and im gonna check you out Tyantha Brown on your channel
This is a nice interview, but I don't understand how someone with children moves to a new country without having resources. I don't think that I saw the first interview. How did she qualify for residency? I am just beginning the residency process and temporary residency requires a $55,000.00 cash reserve. They just arrived and are already having financial problems. 🤥
HOW ridiculous are the ELECTRIC BILLS ? WHY are they so HIGH ? Having 4 units has to contribute to the high energy consumption IF you had central AC I bet it would be a lot lower Most Latin countries DO NOT have central AC, except in commercial stores Am sure you can have central AC installed at some cost because they DO install them commercially
Great, to hear another great expat story.. The U.S. lies about Mexico every chance they get.. As far as medical care. Sign up for the national health service IMSS it is 9,950 pesos or about 550 dollar for the year.. All medicines all doctors visits and all medical tests free once you pay that one fee per year!!!
I love mexican foods and i have neighbors and friends from mexico and i love it if i come there ill probably get lost and stay there oh yes i gotta get with it now im retired now
Sir, this is a random and off-topic question, but this is a question that has prevented me from moving to other countries, even with a remote job and stable income since 2008. Can you flush toilet paper in Merida? I can't deal with putting the toilet paper in a trash bin after using the bathroom. This is a no-go for me.
As a permanent resident in Mexico can you still vote for use elections as a US citizen? How about retirement benefits from social security can one still get this once at eligible age working virtually from Mexico for a US company?
