Retire Outside USA

We officially passed the 8-year anniversary of our "Retirement Adventure". We are now living near Ajijic, Mexico which is one of the most famous retirement destinations for North American expats. And we believe we are right where God wants us to be.

Lake Chapala is the largest lake in Mexico. We have been here for a little over 2 months (since December 2, 2023), and we have fallen in love with the area and the people here. These are some of our reasons:
1. We received our resident visas in only 20 days;
2. Cost of living is well within our Social Security benefits;
3. We found a terrific English-speaking church;
4. The local people are very friendly and helpful;
5. Finding a used E-Bike has solved our transportation concerns;
6. There are many excellent restaurants;
7. English is spoken everywhere.

Right now, I am waiting on UPS to find our house for delivery of our packages from Amazon. Addresses all over Latin America are often challenging, and Ajijic is no exception. There are many neighborhoods and gated communities. House numbers aren't always sequential. The best way to find the correct address is to look at your electric bill. There is so much additional info required. Street, number, neighborhood (Colonia), nearest intersection, city, state, and zip code. To help, I put up this sign on my gate. Hopefully, they will find us soon.
