Great Place To Enjoy Your Retirement:
The Lake Chapala area is home to thousands of expatriate retirees who have chosen to spend their golden years on its semi-tropical shores. Retirement in Mexico should not affect your Social Security or retirement benefits, and those on a fixed income seem to manage well on the lower cost-of-living here. For those wishing to retire here, it is suggested that you fully research any federal tax requirements that may apply to expatriates. Ordinarily, a foreign residence carries certain tax benefits.

Cost of Living:
Despite promotional claims that one can "live in Mexico on $500 USD a month", it simply isn't so. At least, not if you expect some semblance to your accustomed lifestyle. However, compared with the United States and Canada and, indeed, most of the "first world" countries, the cost of living here remains quite low. This is partially due to the fact that mortgages are nearly unheard of (bank interest is still exorbitant) so home and automobile ownership usually requires all cash or owner financing with a hefty down payment. Since homes are owned outright, most labor intensive expenses, such as meals in a restaurant, construction or auto repair is generally a bargain. In fact, it is difficult to find a first-rate evening meal that exceeds $12 USD. Building costs are in the $45 USD per square foot range. Nearly all construction is masonry so fire insurance is seldom purchased. Real estate taxes are minimal at about .015% of fair market value. [Back]

Living outside of one's home country can be the most rewarding and enjoyable time of one's life. Gathering information in advance and planning ahead will help you avoid frustration. The ability to adapt is a quality that will help greatly, but preparation is the KEY. Most people who consider living in Mexico do not want to duplicate their past environments. A part of the excitement of the adventure is doing something completely different, and enjoying the constant stimulation of a new culture. The Mexican people are open and friendly, and you can make life-long friends. And, speaking for the tens of thousands in the expat community who have made central Mexico their home, we think that we are a special group. [Back]
