Wise words from EarlyRetirement, a guy who has the experience to pass on his wisdom to us.
I agree that for the wealthy family with kids, parts of South America, including Mexico, have big problems with kidnapping, which is why many of them chose to vamoose to the U.S. In fact, many of the wealthy of Tijuana have homes in and around Coronado because of the fear of kidnapping.
But the original thread was regarding retiring in Mexico, presumably for the very non-wealthy American. Just as we can learn from ER’s experience with rich expatriates, we could learn from one of the many American retirees who do not regret their choice. Too bad one of them has not yet chimed in.
