I currently live in the USA and am thinking about living abroad. I’ve a lot of negative coverage about Canada that made me want to look elsewhere and Mexico is close that I can still visit family more often than potentially living in Europe or Asia. I wanted to ask though if Mexico is a really good place to live as I have heard some good things about it
I’m Canadian, living in the US, but currently in Canada visiting family. Echo the comments about Canada being unaffordable and falling apart. Things have really deteriorated here the last five years. I don’t see much prospects for improvement if the current government stays in power, and despite all the polling against the Liberals, I still think they’ll squeak by the next election. This isn’t the Canada from the 80s-90s.
Regarding Mexico, I know some people living there part-time. They all have remote jobs and make US salaries. They can afford to live a really good lifestyle there. But that’s because they’re making what would even be considered good salaries in the States. Things have gotten more expensive in Mexico lately, but it’s still affordable with a US or even Canadian salary. All of them are in Mexico City, which has good infrastructure, but is more expensive than the rest of the country. If you go to a smaller city, you probably won’t get the same level of service as you would in Mexico City, so keep that in mind. They like the locals. Don’t really speak much Spanish, but learning. None of them are sure if it’s a permanent move, however.
