Yours is a pretty gloomy prognosis for those here looking to enjoy retirement years in our adopted country. It sounds almost personal. My
condolences if it is but, how much relief could one expect from a discount on a kilo of tortillas? If that would make a difference, perhaps one
should be in a more helpful environment, such as the states. The truly needy won't do well in Mexico.
By the way.......Just out of curiosity, which La Jolla do you live in?

As you can see I'm new here, and not sure if I'm doing this right, but I'm going to use you as my trial and error, post response. Seems you're pretty
quick to jump to conclusions or just highly opinionated. It's not gloomy, it's life. We are enjoying our time here in Baja very much! We travel,
love, laugh, and pretty much do everything else, one without a "gloomy diagnosis" would do. If you are referring to one's financial means, then by no
means are we "needy". Just because a person has a "gloomy diagnosis"or is handicapped, does not mean they are "needy". I guess some are, we aren't.
But I still enjoy a bargain when one is presented to me. It's kinda like a bonus for reaching the age of maturity! And, I think we can all agree that
it's a bit more than just a discount on a kilo of tortillas (not that I'd pass that up either!). I guess it's all in how you view life.
Regarding where in La Jolla, well a girl has to have some secrets, ya know.

Actually, I'm a whole bunch of both and I didn't say "diagnosis." I mentioned "prognosis" which is a means to recovery.
Good for you on your efforts toward frugality. I admire that. I'll bet even Howard Hughes went to a garage sale or two.
So..give me a clue. Do all the Mexicans in your La Jolla neighborhood have leaf blowers strapped to their backs?

I stand corrected, "prognosis"! No clues, Dennis, you're too smart to guess, and blow my anonymity!

The game is on. You write too well to be barren of ego.

Yikes! This ancient thread has been revived? Well, with Bajamigo's senior card we got some now forgotten discount off our entire bill at Calimax
(maybe 5%). We usually forget to pull that thing out of the wallet. Oh, but we did get 50% (yes - read half) off blood tests at Laboratorio Nunez
for blood work he needed to have done before recent surgery in the US.

Yea!!!! Let the discounts roll in!! My fault for reviving the thread. Also looking for information pertaining to importing my 1998 vehicle and
getting a health certificate. I've been told that I need the certificate from the Health Department in La Paz to be able to legally have prescription
medication mailed without being confiscated at the border. Is it true that all three can be completed in La Paz?

Well, now that this topic is out of the bag again .....
Does anyone know if there is a discount (with the card) on the electric bill.
Thanks,
CaboRon

no on the electric, but if you get city water, there is a discount on that!
