Including tax cheats, welfare scammers. illegal aliens....

Those scumbags rip off the US but could no way get away with it in MX!!! There are about 15-20 million folks from MX in the US who want benefits of being in the US but see themselves as 'other' so have no need to obey laws. Its interesting, when questioned they squeal 'RACISM!!' MX is a nationality not a race.

You telling me you don't think there are tax cheats and illegal aliens in Mexico? I'm sure LOTS of them have South Dakota plates on there cars. If you will cheat the U.S., you will cheat Mexico.

I love California. I love Orange County. But, unlike many and most of the Californians I know, California is not the only place in the world to retire in. I think the ideal way to spend retirement is to live for 6 months to a year in different places throughout the world while having a home base in Baja.

The only tough thing is family. All my family lives in California; kids, grand kids, cousins. But, with enough money to travel from wherever you are back to California at least four times a year for holidays while staying connected on a constant basis with Skype, video messages, emailed photo slide shows, and email could do the trick.

If, wherever you are, you know how to effectively live frugally, it wouldn't take that much money for two retired people.

To MitchMan

We've been doing just that for the last fourteen years and its been really great. WIth a selection of fruit trees in the garden and the vegetables we grow while we are here .... we feel pretty healthy.

For us ... the trick was buying a house, with fideicomiso .... no ground rents that increase though the years to worry about. Water is very inexpensive ..... About $12 a month ..... and 24/7 here in Loma Azul. Our only other bills are groceries and fuel. We eat well .... but our living expenses are very low ..... especially when compared to Europe. 328 pesos per month gives good high speed Internet access and allows real time Skype contacts. Electricity is around 350 pesos per month. We live well on one state pension.

Our only problem is that our family are not in California but are a twelve hour flight away from San Diego ..... and with ever increasing family of grandchildren - our only reason for deciding to sell our lovely home here.
