Nice! I'm going to San Cristobal de las Casas early next year. It'll be my first time in Mexico so I want to check things out. I hope to find a nice and affordable situation too. Keep enjoying your life! You have quite a nice setup there.
Could you please talk about personal safety?
Most places in Mexico are generally safe. There are well known areas to just stay away from and you probably wouldn't want to live there anyway. Crime and especially violent crime doesn't just happen in random places like in the US where everywhere you go you could easily get shot or robbed. The most you have to worry about are crimes of opportunity or pickpockets in tourist areas. Don't leave your car or bike unlocked, leave the fancy jewelry at home and don't flash your cash around. People have this idea that the cartels are out to get them, in reality they're not at all interested in the average person going about their daily life. As long as you aren't honing in on their business interests or a member of a rival cartel you have nothing to worry about. Honestly, if it was as bad as some people say don't you think it would be loudly broadcast on Faux news on a daily basis? I have camped and surfed on remote beaches throughout mostly Baja since the early eighties and never had any problems, so I moved here. Come down and visit and I guarantee you'll be very pleasantly surprised. Everywhere I've visited the people are more than friendly and helpful. BTW-I'm a blond haired, hazel eyed most definitely a gringo still with limited Spanish. Buena suerte!
are you still using 1 USD to 20 Pesos as you’re saying 400 Pesos is 20 USD? but 1 USD is already below 18 Pesos, for many months already for the year of 2023, and close to 17 Pesos actually;
so are you saying your monthly expense of 20,000 Pesos? it actually costs 1160 USD
Interesting 😮😮❤❤
That same house rents today for $1,200 USD. May 8, 2024.
How close are you to the beach/water? Would love to connect with you for more information as a single woman, too. TFS
How can one connect with u for more info if someone wants to move there
I want so much to move to Mexico, but the cost keeps going up every year, and I don't think I could afford it now. I get less than $1,000 a month in SS, and I don't mind living in a working class neighborhood. Still, I hear rents and prices are also going up down there, so my dream is never going to come true.
I am looking to live in Mexico for $1,000 a month. My needs are access to good weight lifting gym with easy access to walk to or low cost to ride to by taxi, etc.
