It might be because we've been posting lots of Shorts lately

We're sorry! We've gone a little crazy with the Shorts like it's TikTok but we've decided to slow way down on it. We don't mean to make it a bad experience!

Just renewed my son's and they told us 6-8 weeks right now

I went last year and didn't need anything but my Passport (the wallet size Passport Card is not valid for entry) and a Mexico Tourist Card (FMM). I do recommend making sure they stamp your Passport (you may have to ask them to do it) or else you may just receive a very small ticket that shows when you came in and if you lose that it's a pain to prove you came in legally and will have to go through a process when trying to fly out and have to pay extra money for a new ticket. It can make you miss your flight if there are very many people also having to go through that process (there were 30 people having to do it when one of my buddies found he lost his and had to do it while we waited and we barely made it onto our floght) since the ticket is easy to misplace or get damaged, which is what they are hoping will happen to you so they can make extra money off of you. Definitely GET YOUR PASSPORT STAMPED BY THEM! Also, I highly recommend getting a slim "front pocket" wallet to keep your cards and money in to prevent pick pockets (rare but it does happen there) so that nothing is in a back pocket and try to keep your phone in a front pocket or wear cargo style shorts so you can keep them in a leg pocket. I would also recommend getting the Passport Card in addition to the full size Passport (or at the very least take a good picture with your phone to keep) so you can keep the small card in your wallet or luggage in case you lose your Passport or it's stolen so that all your Passport information is available to get the paperwork you need to leave the country or get a new one. The Passport Card is actually more handy than a Real ID drivers license, easier to get, and cheaper than the Real ID as well and can be used for all domestic flights and flights to US Territories, and for entry into government buildings, and for travel by sea to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.

@@kevinfleming9919 Did you get the Mexico Tourist Card (FMM) online or once you got to the airport? And thank you so much for all of the information!!

@@houseofheartsx We got ours online and printed out the form so we could save time once we got there because it said we still needed to get it stamped once we arrived at the airport or border depending on how we travel. They ended up including it in the cost of our plane ticket (about $43 for the FMM) and handed out FMM's before we landed on one trip and we got them at the immigration desk at the airport on arrival another time. Forgot to mention in my other comment that you only need the FMM if you are going to be traveling more than 12 miles into the country or from your tourist staying spot and you may be able to still get it for free if you are arriving into and traveling by land for 7 days or less. You also don't need one (at the time we last went about 1 1/2 year ago) if you arrived and departure from Cancun International Airport (CUN), Cozumel International Airport (CZM) or Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) but you should double check before you go to see if that's still correct, but even if you don't get it beforehand to save money you can get it when you arrive if it is required at the immigration desk. Please double check my info with a travel agency or an online FMM center (like mexicotouristcard . com as things may have changed since my last trip.

@@kevinfleming9919 Thank you so much for all of the info! I'm flying from the US directly into Tulum's new airport and I wasn't sure what I needed.

Would you feel better if he said, "You need a career?"

It's the getting paid part that indicates gainful employment, and plenty of people get paid a lot to do very little. He's like a cop. He does very little for anyone but still receives a check.

@@modelcitizen394 What is defined as being paid though? If you are self-employed, you just extract money from the business. Or what about streamers who only stream. Do they have gainful employment? As far as cops go, it depends on the country. Canadian cops tend to do more work than American cops. They also tend to be friendlier and just want you to go on your way quickly (assuming you are being respectful of course).

@@lordpalandus11 If people are giving you money then you are providing a service those people find worthwhile of their money. If you can play videogames such that people will throw their money at you, then do it.

Just figured I'd share some perspective with you I may have found useful at your age. I'm 26, What most of us do after graduating college is if we didn't get a job lined up during last year of college, we lived with our parents for a few months till we found a job. Then, we can afford to live in an apartment. Most apartments make you prove you have a salary that can afford to live there. The quality of life you enjoy is entirely dependent on your work ethic. I had a $60k salary at my first job. People who make 40-50k are usually struggling to pay for things, it's not enjoyable to live like that. I live alone in my apartment and I work from home. So, I'm alone in my place all day every day. Nobody is coming to save me. The only way anything changes in my life is if I do something about it. Also, don't go to college for some dumbass useless degree. Extremely bad idea. When i was in college like 50% of students were in a useless major or were 'undeclared' majors for their first 1-2 years of college. Absolutely wild. They're probably splitting their apartment expenses with 3 people whilst not making a dent on their college debt to this day

Because work isn't fun. We don't think we're owed anything but we'd rather enjoy life instead of being a grumpy old man like you.

I'm glad we agree it's the parents that's the problem and not the kid's. You have the previous generation to blame for the current generation having to learn everything in 2 years or drown. Good news, my generation knows this is a problem and are trying not to do it to our kids. At least the ones with common sense.

to be fair, boomers setup the economy in such a horrid state that most millennials / gen z just can't give a fuck about a job well done because there are near no incentives for it. Wages completely stagnated while cost of everything went way up. There are no growth opportunities in my current job, time to job hop. Companies aren't paying to retain talent like they used to. It almost always pays more to just find a new job every 2 years

And that would resolve what, exactly?
