  • Mexico vs Costa Rica for Black Women Retirees | Roshida and Stephanie aren't traditional retirees -- we're not over 60 -- but we're living the retirement dream by moving abroad. Roshida is now a resident of Mexico and lives in Mexico City. Stephanie is moving to San Jose, Costa Rica in a few days! Plus we've interviewed a whole bunch of Black women in their 50s, 60s and 70s who have retired abroad. Tell us where you're considering in the comments.

I have four more years before I retire and would love to check out Mexico! It felt my mother wants me to take her there to see what it's like!..... Great information ladies. I will continue to listen out for your next video where you have right information to pass along. Peace and blessing

    Elder millennial here living in the states as part time retired nurse. I love this video and the work these ladies are doing. I'm absolutely here for loving abroad and living a nomadic lifestyle. The only thing that bothered me about listening to this was the fact that there is a differentiation between America (USA) and Mexico and Costa Rica, when in fact these areas are all apart of America. So people living in Costa Rica and Mexico are still Americans too. I was reminded of this my first time in Costa Rico when i was corrected by a local. I didn't make this this mistake in Mexico. America isn't just USA (the corporation)

    Excited to find this channel before the summit next month in Oct. Years ago, I was a flight attendant and we travelled to Mexico City. We, the crew, were not there long enough to tour, but looking out of the window of my hotel, the size and buzz even at night was intriguing. Fast forward, last year, I met a young 23-year-old white guy who posted an article on the benefits of living in Mexico, but working online and doing business in the US. I said I would read it later. Before I could review his article, I have met white, Black and Latino that live part-time in Mexico and Puerto Rico, many in their 20s and 30s. Again, I said I would deep dive, but didn't. Your channel has pushed me to know more...Now!

    In Costa Rica you have both the permanent market (mercado central) on each town and you also have the farmers market (feria del agricultor) on each town once a week where local farmers bring and sell directly their produce
    There are buses that go everywhere in Costa Rica. Just that same as in México better if you live in a city center since most buses go out and arrive there

    Can I be honest? Its hard for me to get into these types of conversations because one person takes up so much space in the convo. Roshida should consider pausing and letting Stephanie speak more and ask her questions throughout. This just bothers me because I experience this with people that take over entire convos and go on and on. Anyways, this just stood out to me. Also, I'm going to Africa to settle down fyi - would love to visit these places though.

    As an American a Black American I personally feel the reason we don't learn or are taught multiple languages (although in 2023 and years to come) I think we will improve and learn more languages, is because we have fifty English speaking states. Think about it. Let me explain. If I'm in Denver and then I travel to North Dakota, I'm still speaking English, hearing English when I get there. From Clevland to Nashville, same thing, etc. etc. Whereas, if I'm in Mexico speaking Spanglish to Paris, now I'm speaking French. Finland speaking Finnish, to Africa (multiple languages and tongues) to Portugal where Portuguese will be spoken. Get it? That's why I feel Americans don't speak several languages, however, I think we are learning more languages today and in the years to come. This is just my opinion. I'm entitled to have one.
