Retire in Mexico: Claim your Slice of Paradise

Retire in Mexico and you will soon be a believer in magic and retirement dreams can come true.

You might even experience the surreal sensation that this is too good "to be real".

Well Retiring in Mexico and possibly retiring sooner that you think, is true and real, but not for everyone. 

Why? 

Because, some people don't really take the necessary steps, that could change their life forever.  They hear about it, talk about it and maybe even dream about it, but never take the first step to discover the best place to retire in Mexico.

Personally we think that Lake Chapala is best place to retire in Mexico.

But ask any expat retired in Los Cabos, San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlan, La Paz, Acapulco, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Cuernavaca, Cozumel, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, Patzcuaro or Cancun, and you will here them sing the praises of their little slice of Mexico paradise as the best place to retire to.

Are you ready to really find out for sure if Mexico is in your retirement future?

Are you ready to check it out with your own eyes?

For some there are a zillion reasons to spend your retirement in Mexico, but let me share just 3 reasons that may get you motivated to take the next step.
 
Cost of living in Mexico is a huge benefit for those of us enjoying our life here south of the border.  Every year with enthusiasm we all pay our Mexican property taxes. 

As an expatriate, we can own a beautiful home and pay a property tax that is at the low end $50.00 US to the high end of $300.00 US dollars a year.  That's right a year.  When was the last time you paid your property tax with enthusiasm?

Your lifestyle and where you live will dictate your everyday Mexican cost of living.  If you retire in Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or Cabo San Lucas, Mexico your cost of living at the beach will be higher than if you retire in Lake Chapala, or Guadalajara, Mexico located inland, in the colonial areas.

Health Care in Mexico is another draw for the retired community.  The medical care is exceptional and at a fraction of the cost state side.  The hospitals and clinics are first class and the Doctors and Nurses are excellent in their fields of expertise. 

Whether you get a hip replacement in Mexico, open heart surgery or cosmetic surgery, you will be in awe of the professional and personal care you'll receive throughout the entire process from surgery to complete recovery.

Dentists in Mexico are among the best trained with specialties in dental implants, root canals, gum disease and the list goes on.  Many people come for a dental vacation in Mexico.  The get dental work done for a fraction of the cost in the States, have a great vacation and still have money left in their pocket.

The Weather in Mexico is truly exceptional. Whether you are living at the beach or residing lakeside.  The blue skies, sunshine and tropical climate allows for an abundance of beautiful lush plants, flowers and breathtaking gardens.  Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico, sets the stage for the breezes flowing softly through the open terraces and windows in this amazing Mexican climate, the Land of eternal spring.
