Divorce? Retired? US citizen? Go to Mexico!

[BestoftherestParticipant 285]

So I’ve put in some work reading a ton of the divorce post. Some have spoken as where one can stay for cheep and live off a smaller retirement. Well If you’re a US citizen I’d recommend moving to a boarder town in Mexico.

Contrary to popular belief you will not be in danger, most people speak English, and you indeed can buy a home or rent.

You can get beach front property, 3 bedroom 2bath home for 500-700 a month including all appropriate utilities/internet/trash etc (In a upper middle income area to boot) A large one bedroom, 200! Border cities are great because you can enter the US at your leisure in 30 mins or less. If you fork over 120 bucks to US customs and qualify you can get a “Sentri pass” which is a fast lane for crossing, for 5 years. Cutting crossing times by 3/4.

This is my long term plan. I intend to work until 50 and retire. By no means will 50 give me an income that will work in the US, but in mexico that income will be 3-5x the value. I’ve seen many men get comfortable in Mexican Boarder towns and they start to move deeper into Mexico to find even cheaper homes.

Whats more mgtow that going to another country to make the most of your money!

Curious minds need to know more info? I’ve been really thinking of after I retire to not be in the US anymore and would like some intel?

Never lose sight of what brought you here.

But why a border town? I’ve been in TJ, I’m Mexican, and TJ is a s~~~ hole and the point of going to Mexico is never to return to the USA since you would have a search warrant or something like that for not paying the alimony, they would instantly find out at the US customs.

One of my dad’s cousins retired in Mexico. He seems happy enough. He does not feel safe though. It is not a border town but in an area of great natural beauty farther in the interior.

I also happen to know people who moved to Central America and South America. So far, they are doing all right.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Unfortunately Tj is a lackluster if not terrible place to be, but that’s like judging the entire US on how Detroit looks today. Once you hit Rosarito/Playas which are 20 minute drives(from the border), you start to hit a well developed area. As far as why a border town, well its a number of reasons.

#1 Getting to the US is fast, most new comers to Mexico tend to want to be near the boarder. In time, with comfort they branch out and start to explore and relocate to Ensenada or inland to the mainland.
#2 Border towns have a high American population, more Americans around the new comers the better they feel.

As far as traveling to Mexico to avoid alimony, warrants, or child support. That’s not an issue if you don’t have any of those things to worry about. We’re talking about retirement. If you barely have enough to survive on your retirement in the US, you will have a decent surplus in Mexico.
Heck theirs a ton of men who work in the US side of border towns and go home in mexico. A $12 hr job affords them the ability to support a family of 4. They still struggle but its not impossible like the US with that low of an income.

On that note, if you haven’t traveled around Baja California in the last 2 years you will be shocked how bad ass its looking.

Yeah man you can do alot of research on what you want with a simple google search. IF you are the type that doesn’t mind being away from the border and going deep into mexico you can find awesome places for cheaper than I mentioned. Like this the cost is approximately 360 a month. I would love to help more but alot is going to rest on what you want and how far your willing to travel. I’m going to be in San Diego for at least 3 more years, and more than likely going to stay here after school. When ever you want to take a look in person I can show you around all the nice places on the Border, or we can figure something out as far as getting some road trip action in.

Just make sure you get a passport!

Yeah I would prefer to stay in Mexico myself, primarily because I know I wont need a lot of cash to visit friends in the US or vice versa. I plan on being within ear shot of the border (30 mins) in one of the premo spots. No need to do anything other than drive to visit family and s~~~ like that.

Great post there OP, I think US guys should seriously consider it. And overall, finding better and cheaper places to live. (prices of food/items/rent/etc.)

Yep. Exactly that. Where I live (Latvia), my rent+internet+gas/electricity accumulates to 120 Euros/month at Winter.

At Summer 80 Euros/month. Modern apartment, near a lake with a beach, forest, police, markets, parks etc. And 15-30 minutes from Riga with everything else.

Im fine not going anywhere else atm.

 

Can’t wait earning 7xx – 1xxx Euros range, soon, as I start learning+practice/working in the same field. I would consider moving a country maybe, but I think not really and I will be fine here. Will see how the life goes.

I found this on youtube a week ago. Guess these guys dont give a f~~~…

Try other places, Chile, Uruguay, for example. I did alot of internet research on Uruguay and found it to be one of the best options. One of the safest Latin countries, with minimal governmental bulls~~~. Easy residence, they even allow gun ownership.

The U.S. has become, and is becoming, nothing more than an electronic gulag. Go settle in a place where the government is too poor to spy on you and harass you constantly, where females appreciate men, and where the law enforcement doesnt care what you do as long as you dont deal drugs or attempt to overthrow the government. Not sure how well I would survive in a relatively regulation free environment, but I want to find out!

So, I’m working my ass off the next 5 years, saving 40%-50% of my income and investing, then making the move. If you think life in the U.S. is bad now, wait until computer driven cars are the norm.

A hellish scenario indeed, since it seems nothing these days (including vehicles) is immune to being hacked. I can also forsee a future where environmentalist nutjobs get all older cars banned so everyone has no choice but to drive a death trap.

Look there’s a billboard up ahead, we are now entering the twilight place…

Never thought about that s~~~, for future governments this is an easy way to get rid of “inconvenient people”.

Computer controlled cars will be rolling jails. No need to even track you down, just program your car to go to the nearest police station.

Or hit the next bridge pier.

 

Back to topic. I thought about Uruguay as well a few years ago, because the country is not f~~~ed like europe or the US. Their economy is emerging, taxes are low, people are relaxed.

But I’ve also thought of canada and australia. I don’t want to get married or have children, so I can remove those s~~~ty laws from my pro/con list. Asia is good place as well. Thailand for example.

But I’m sure europe will be devastated within the next decades. And before that happens I want to be far away.

I won’t go anywhere I can’t carry a firearm to protect myself, PERIOD ..YMMV Mexico isn’t safe and I’m not a victim.

Very true but there are better, cleaner and more stable places with more infrastructure than Mexico.

See: Belize, Argentina, Uruguay.  These places are welcoming of foreigners and have more to offer than Mexico.

[Terminus EstParticipant 145]

One of my uncles moved to south west Mexico and built a cool place but can never really relax or leave much for fear of being burglarized.

My sister and her husband emigrated to Uruguay and absolutely love it.  They have no desire whatsoever to return to the US.
