How to Live Like a Local and Retire Better in Your New Country!
We've been living like the locals in various countries and sharing our local adventures for almost 10 years. Not to be confused with tourism because short stay vacationers cannot actually live like locals but they can experience different aspects of the culture and do things the local people love to do. You too can live like a local and retire better in your new country!

The Strange Excuse Why (Some) Americans Are Moving to Mexico Now!
Today we bring to you The Strange Excuse Why some Americans Move to Mexico Now. If you didn't see last weeks 3 Good Reasons Why Millions of Americans Are Not Moving to Mexico, click the link; we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Some Americans move to Mexico to get out of dodge. Yeah, some Americans think that they’re leaving the wild-wild west for a new land of tranquility and bliss and for a while maybe feels like bliss but the reality is when we think with our emotions we don’t always get what we think we’re getting.
Of course, everything seems great in the new little Mexican refuge--people are warm, the food good, and the weather great and it feels emotionally good but that’s comparing to an undesirable feeling you had back home in the wild-wild west where emotions were taking over the senses. The thing is you want to have sensibility when making a major move in your life because it actually allows us to see everything as it really is rather than only what our emotional outlook allows us to see.
Escaping the usa for another country seems like the best solution to someone who does not really have control of their better judgment. But it’s actually a bad excuse to move abroad because most of the time fleeing something gets us into another something that we don’t particularly like and so, escaping from, rather than just going for the adventure, comes with its own challenges and not necessarily those with any real contentment ...
Many Americans have completely taken for granted the beauty of their own back yard regardless of emotional bias. Question: How come some Americans have this strong pull to leave the usa and move to Mexico and some do not? When you answer this question you will realize it is a “political type” of people that uproot their lives and go to Mexico.
Others leave to find their shangri'la, and since no place is perfect, we should know since we've lived in developing countries for 8 years, they eventually find they are not really any happier than they were before.
It certainly doesn’t help that Mexico has been named one of the Best Places to Live and Retire. The old worn out clique says “If I had a dollar (inflation guys) for every person that moved abroad because the retire abroad media said it was the “best place to live” and then they moved back home, yeah I’d be rich!
If you could choose any country in the world to move to, without worrying about finances, which country would that be? Let us know in the comments below this article. Click the link below for all the information about how to live (hack) in any country abroad and have money left over for savings or whatever you want!
PS...Update since writing this article....Really bad things are happening in Mexico. American Expats are losing their money in the Mexican Banks. Full Article here. Americans Lose Billions in Savings in Mexican Banks, click here!!
Live like a king Abroad--Course info--
The places that are touted for living abroad quickly spiral into gringo bubbles. Do you want to know the insider scoop on how to get to the bottom of the real prices in a foreign country? Do you want to be able to verify the price of rent, real estate and everything else you’re being told by mainstream retirement press BEFORE you spend thousands of dollars to go there? Do you want to be in control of how much you spend abroad and avoid gringo bubbles? Do you want to move abroad and spend half of what your gringo counterparts are spending to live abroad?
Would you like clarity and confidence on how to find and make your own Shangri'-La? Will you let me show you how I have been doing so for years? if you’d like to know how some of these things could work for you, it’s different for everyone, so I’d like to have a chat with you and talk about how you could potentially save up to $1000 per month and live like a king while doing it.

How Your Food Bill Keeps You Poor and How to Avoid It!
How Your Food Bill Keeps You Poor and how to avoid it. And we don't mean eating out in restaurants as part of the food bill either...eating out goes under the heading of entertainment, not food budget. A commenter recently said (previous video) she spends $600 to $800 on her food budget in the U.S, for one person...that's amazingly too much!

Believing the Terrible Misconceptions in the Gringo Press Is Detrimental to Your Early Retirement!
It seems people gravitate to "cheapest places to live" abroad and there is a lot of those places abroad, not just the places that are being touted in the travel abroad circles. We're the only ones that even talk about these things but people need to know that what they hear and read can cause much wasted time and money and that believing the terrible misconceptions in expat circles can be detrimental to their/your retirement! It doesn't matter where you want to retire to, Latin America, Asia, Europe, or USA, some people can actually just retire now to their special little paradise haven! We're living proof!
