Retirement is a state of mind. When you turn 62 or older dont let life get you down, I came to Mexico 10 months and I have not regretted one day. Im 69 and active and I do art work to supplement my income and I am happy. Keep up the good work Jose and keeping people informed.

I'm moving to Mexico in February. Getting married in Colima and leaving my federal job behind. I'll be doing ranch work and have my VA as supplement income. I've been watching your videos for months bro. You’ve really assisted me. Appreciate you

I own a property in San Diego, CA. With 4 units. I keep 1 for me and rent the others. I cashed out 100k and bought a property in Baja Mex. With 4 units. I then built my retirement home on that same property. Now I'm living retirement at 50 yrs. Old without completely leaving the USA. I'm not struggling 😊 living off rents from the US. And Mexico.

Yes agreed! Retire early if you can and move to Mexico..... before it's too late dang it! 🙀 You'll live a healthier life....food is healthier, less stress, air quality is better. I lost 33 lbs just by moving to Mexico and eating their food. Of course I also walk a lot since I don't have a car anymore unlike in the U.S. so you might be forced to get out and move around which is good for you. 🏃🏻‍♂️

I’m in early retirement due to disability, and I’m glad I made the move to Mexico. I don’t regret a thing

Ive watched many of your videos. Feel like this one is most applicable to me. I retired to Mexico City at 62. Best move I ever made. I worked in Omaha Nebraska for 30 plus years. Dont miss the snow. I tell people Mexico is about half price from Omaha. So you will do better in Mexico than anywhere I know of in the US. Jose tells you the truth about Mexico thats for sure

The key thing is BECOME AND STAY HEALTHY. It doesn't matter how much or little money you have. You have to have health to live those dreams, whatever they are.

70 years old now. Living in Mexico most of the year. I was practicing guitar learning Travis picking while you mentioned practicing guitar.

RU-vid has opened up a new frontier for everyday people to learn about the world and each other with no middle men!

I’m retired and 74. I’m moving to Mexico for a cheaper cost of living! Assisted living is too expensive in the USA, and I may require it in the near future! My family has a house in Carambuche Baja sur, so no rent. My social security and pension will easily cover my expenses. I just renewed my passport, and I guess it must be 6 months old before you can apply for retirement visa. I should be there by January 2024, and after my 180 day visa expires I’ll apply for temporary residence visa. Duane

Jose I’d like to add that what you’ve said here is good solid advice and I can’t argue with it. I think that on top of the attitude thing and making the adjustment from working to retirement as early in life as possible, that along the way watch how you eat and exercise to take care of your health, because I think those factors contribute to a healthy old age and enjoying it just as much as having the freedom to live how you want. I think that Mexico can contribute to those things because it’s easy to eat healthy here and if you live in a walkable city like I do it’s easy for you to get your exercise just by living. I’ve been in Mexico for almost three years now and I’m 72 and I eat simply, cooking all my own meals, eating very few highly processed foods, so getting fresh fruit and vegetables every day and walking pretty much everywhere. I had started this lifestyle before I left the US, because I have for a long time wanted to be as healthy as possible. I didn’t want to be old and sick, there’s no fun in that. So I wasn’t able to retire until I was 55, but I’ve been crafting a healthy life even before then and it’s paid off. I, thankfully, almost never need to see a doctor and I feel very good every day. My life in Mexico has played a big part in my continuing to be this way. It’s easier here than in the US where it’s next to impossible to find good food and people drive everywhere getting little or no exercise but it’s so much easier here. I tell my friends about this life all the time, because I want them to be happy and healthy and that’s why I’m sharing this with you. Take care and keep making great videos!

The key to success in Mexico is living the same lifestyle in Mexico they you could afford to live in the US.

All you say makes perfect sense . . at least for me. Your philosophy of "Im already retired" is a very good way of viewing things that I´ve never thought about . . we are used to thinking that retirement is gonna be when we can barely move but your approach is smart. . Im a bit older than you and I wish I had seen things the way you explain since younger. . Greetings

Thailand definitely takes out Mexico as far as affordability and the spoken English. I just returned from there 4 days ago. The only downfall is the distance from the states, it's 16 hours away. Sh** if Thailand was a close as Mexico it would be a no brainer, ESPECIALLY FOR THE FOOD!

Jose I’m like you my dream was to do my own life 😂😂brooo, I’m tired and close to go back , retired n full of energy at 62 I went to visit in October and ready to go back loved it .

I went on a trip to Europe in my early thirties. I grew up in Ireland, and then the USA. I always only went to Ireland and back. This particular time, I had a few extra bucks to explore a little bit of Europe, I went to Paris, then Prague, then Florence and Milan. The thing that I noticed on the trip was that all the Americans that I met were in their mid sixties and upwards . They bought the program unfortunately, they were told to work hard and then retire and enjoy life in their sixties. I realized then and there not to wait until retirement to enjoy life, hell a lot of people dont even make it to retirement, they die along the way. And if you do, it's not the best time to travel unless you have kept yourself in super good shape. I think the four hour workweek plan is a hell of a lot better, enjoy life along the way and don't put it off to some random day, far far in the future...cause you might not even make it that far.

Jose i find it strange that Americans say Mexico is dangerous but their dodging bullets everyday and getting layed out in the streets by mass shooters! 😅

It's weird, I'm Mexican, grew up in Mexico, lived in Mexico most of my life, then I moved abroad and I've been living in the PRC for the past 5 or 6 years and yet here I am watching videos about moving to Mexico, my own country! As if I needed any guidance for that haha, I guess I must be home sick, but I really enjoy your takes and drives around Merida. Keep it up!

Hey Jose, just wanted to comment that moving to Mexico is the best thing I have done in a long time. It takes a willingness to adapt as it is not the US and all it's luxuries but that's ok actually is great in most respects. The biggest benefits are it's low cost of living, freedoms many compared to US, no worries of money anymore(coming from NYC) and yes I lived in Merida for $800-1000 a month (plus I saved a ton) wasn't hard and I liked much better living in a Mexican Colonia Jesus Carranza it was great for most part. So yeah it is a no brainer if you can look past the sidewalks, roads, cold showers, whatever Mexico is beautiful in it's own way if you can see the beauty and the many freedoms that is Mexico well the US does not look that great. In conclusion, "anyone can live well in Mexico well with dollars" it's changing of a mindset it's not hard but if you are always comparing to the US then it is much harder. Just come have patience it should grow on you and if not can always go back to the US.

Hey Jose, Thanks for the cool channel. Fellow Seattleite. We’re moving to La Paz/Ensenada in November. Done with the US. Respect, fam.

Hello, hey, have you already visited the new park in Mérida? Parque de la plancha If you haven't visited it yet go and I'll take a walk there You can take a walk there on foot or by bicycle and you can walk there with your dog. 😊

Thanks! My wife and I are from Canada, we are regular viewers of your channel. We were in Merida in May of this year and hope to join you December 2024! We met Jose Novella thanks to you. Thanks for all your help!

We pulled the plug and sold our home and business in 2018/19 and moved to Nayarit Mexico full time in 2019. It was a great move and we love where we live. Additionally our home/property has already more than doubled in value in four years. Cost of living is about 40% of what it was for us in Northern California but more importantly the way that life presents itself to you here is so good for your soul. Strangers greet you often and people are so kind and helpful in comparison. We retired at 58 and will start taking our Social Security when we are fully vested at 67 years of age.

As a 24 year old, retirement is so far away. I think the route that I'm going to go with will be is continue to work in the US and save up to buy a house in Mexico in cash. To use for my retirement or if I ever want to move

keep living and loving and spreading kindness as you are. work to live Stop living to work.

Keep up the great work Jose!

I'm one of the crazy ones wanting to "retire" as soon as possible. I'm 31 and my husband and I want to move to Mexico with our two small children.

Hola, es primers vez Veo tu programs, cubre Toda information necesaria para tomar desicion cuando El tiempo sea right. Ya me retire, y ocupaba info , y sin buscar mucho te encontre. Gracias por tu info. En poco tiempo te conctactare. Saludos.

And you are right, you want to live your life when your body and mind are healthy!!!

Just coming from Tulum Mexico 🇲🇽 Beautiful place!

Thanks!

You're awesome, Jose. Thanks for the motivation.

I think Brasil or Ecuador are better options in case of global conflict than Mexico. I would also consider Madagascar or Capo Verde.

Great show Jose if i may add my perspective in life there's doors that eventually close on you and one of those doors is what i label retiring abroad don't wait for your health to start failing or worse you get diagnosed with cancer say goodby to your dream your retirement will consist of medical appointments and survival let alone moving Abroad like Mexico :)

Amigo, you say retirement home or hospice clinic because that is what awaits us if we don't convince the doctor. much!😅😅😅

Thank you for the info..

I’ll need a minimum of 3K a month, to live in Cancun. Thx 4 the info !

Hello mr. Jose thanks for your honest videoes. Its a while i follow you. Good job and keep it up friend. I am foreigner holding mexican resident but right now my wife and me are out of mexico . We have been arround different cities of mexico but i think merida meets our goals..in case its possible i need to talk to you about possibilities of any job in merida regarding my situation. So , is there any way we can discuss it in private?

I a 67and i do want to retire as soon as possible

Mexico sounds like great place for my mother in law, one of the selling points - its across the Atlantic

Only thing slowing me down is my 7 year old! I wonder about education he’ll receive there and his future opportunities!

I just saw a vid about San Miguel de Allende an ex pat tourist bubble. They had sole a property for 4k usd a square meter which is ridicules. Cone to Mexico look around talk to your Mexican friends about you wanting to retire to a place that doesn’t gauge you for being an expat and i guarantee you their is a place for you.

Going to PV then bus to GdLajara, Morelia, Guanjuato,Queretaro then bus to Cd. MEX. Trying to find that place for 2025 @ 62 👍

Is US insurance accepted there??,4. Closest hospital to merida,also doctor?That's all I can think of atm,please let me know,thank you

At one point Jose was a gigolo, I remember 😊

Just moved to San Diego from San Francisco never lived this close to the border. I quit my career working a BS job. I’m basically starting over. I hear lots of people say they work in cali and live in Mexico. Cheap I’ve heard.

Hello Jose, I appreciate the valuable content you provide. I have a question regarding travel to Mexico in December 2023. I would like to know if it is possible for me to enter Mexico for a short visit and then return to Canada. After the 180-day period from my initial entry into Mexico has expired, would I be able to return to Mexico in 2024 and apply for a Temporary Residence Permit that is valid for four years? I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this matter.

31:00 what are the things you used to do before? If you don’t mind to ask you

Retirement home. Who's gonna pay to have me tortured to death in one of those? 😂 There is no Retirement in the USSA anyway. You can't own land and the currency is fast approaching zero. So good luck. I see the old folks here talking about the latest pill their "doctor " has them on.

I'm 38 and I'm retired. I feel like I am in a " retirement home here in the US"

What’s going on with the opening footage? You run a stop sign and then you don’t stop for the pedestrians who are halfway into the street at a crosswalk?

Hi Hose, What about the dating environment in Mexico for retirement age expats?

But, in 2024, I heard that the consulates are raising the income requirements for everyone (including retirees) to become residents of Mexico. 🥴

What's your opinion of working for the man if it's in the tech industry? something like being an animator, programmer or compositor? How well do those jobs pay in Mexico vs the US? what are your chances of being able to work a job like that out of the US but still live in Mexico like a digital nomad but long term?

Jose the dollar is loosing value The time to purchase a place in Mexico 🇲🇽 is NOW before is too late ⏰

I’ll Be moving there as soon as as I can 🤣. Looking to buy a house first there. 😭😭😭

Your retirement check does not go far in the USA now! Heck, your retirement account, 401K, Roth IRA, etc, IS IN JEOPARDY NOW! Let's say you graduate at 24 out of college or trade school and start saving for retirement until you're about 70. That's a WHOPPING 54 years of retirement savings that could go down the drain in a matter of seconds! That is scary and unjust! And get this, there is no way you can get it back! I don't know! The American system is crooked and unpredictable!

As an American,how long can I stay/live in Mexico and still collect SSDI? I've heard I have to go across the US border every 6 months,is this true?

Tell me about your bike.

Jose are you running through STOP signs?

I don’t want to live in Merida. Anywhere else?

I can't find anyone to help me get my pets there...

Wish I was 42

SEND MONEY TO JOSE FOR STARBUCKS! OR SEND HIM AND HIS WIFE SOME STARBUCKS COFFEE!

Why are you confusing the very simple concepts of retirement Vs self employment?

Nursing home or “something else”?

mini prison...that's funny but sad

Jose, my main worry is the drug cartels and kidnappings. A seventy-year-old man fighting soldiers from the drug cartel is not much of a fight. 🙂 Otherwise, I hire you for a week or so to help me get settled into an apartment.

😁👍

Brah. You gotta sneak a Starbucks once in a while!!!!

Where in Mexico was this filmed?

❤

Bruh

Hey bro, don’t incentivize people to come to Mexico to make it more expensive please

I like your videos and your Chevy truck.

Na, you don't. Guatemala and El Salvador is much nicer:)

Fear porn? You mean something else...Leave Florida before its to late.

Hey José!! You are promoting gentrification in Mexico ¿Te vale madre lo que ocurra a los mexicanos?

Jose, you're losing weight, your hair looks better than ever, you are looking great!!

You made so many great points. I think Almost Retired in Mexico has the video on the retirement community you were referring to.

Thanks!
