The Mexico Solution: Saving your money, sanity and quality of life through part-time life in Mexico

Likely over the last several years, you have digested some hard facts about trends in the U.S. that could affect your quality of life in the future, disturbing facts about the potentially devastating cost of healthcare and the projected continued rise in the cost of housing. The prospects for a comfortable retirement or even a solid middle-class existence by its historical benchmarks of security and quality of life are dissolving right in front of many of us. The gig economy cannot take the place of what has been lost in terms of livable wages, healthcare, and many of the comforts our parents had, like vacations and pension plans. Compounded with today’s polarizing political climate, many adults young and old are questioning if they want to stick it out, waiting indefinitely for a miraculous change of heart among our leaders on these issues. You do not have to accept the dizzying increase in the cost of living, the $2,000 ambulance ride, and the relentless pursuit by the most sophisticated marketing machine in the world of every cent you have. You can change the paradigm in Mexico. You do not need to move to Mexico full-time to experience the benefits of expat life. Even living part-time in Mexico or any less expensive country can allow you to reap many of the financial and emotional benefits of being an expat. Paradoxically, the same aspects of modern life that make life convenient in the U.S. (if not inexpensive), such as online tools and technology, have made the escape to another country part of the year easier than ever. Part-time expat life lets you “test the waters” and buys you the time needed to thoughtfully plan your strategy, whether it is to remain a part-time expat indefinitely or move to that country permanently one day. The Mexico Solution: Saving your money, sanity, and quality of life through part-time in Mexico provides the steps to cutting your budget in half while living in the best of both worlds. You can enjoy the convenience and familiarity of your current city in the U.S. or Canada while saving money and living in Mexico part-time The Mexico Solution is both a playbook on how to construct this immensely satisfying lifestyle, and a memoir that will give you insight as to the journey ahead if you choose it, with all its insecurities, adventure, financial benefits, and local color.
