I wish I had a spouse that just was not sure that life style wasn't for them. My husband thinks he is too old to make a move like that. He would not be in favor of even taking a trip down there to check it out. All I can do is pray that something will change his mind. Ron has it easy by comparison. I wish him well. Hi Sid!

Sometimes it's the wives who have this problem. Fortunately, the solution is easy. 'Just get here'. Treat it as a fact finding.. but fun vacation. Look around, Take my gratis area tour (no I don't cram a bunch of homes into the tour for you to look at). The objective is to show you our beautiful area, to answer your questions honestly, and to help you decide if our little slice of paradise would work out well for you. Honestly as great as we think our area is... it's not for everyone.... but it is right for many thousands of North Americans. I'll candidly tell you if I think you may be unhappy here. A lot of retirees here find that they have more contact with family and friends "back home" once they move here. Visits are frequent, USA telephone lines are very inexpensive ( I have several lines... one of which I caught a sale and got 3 years of service for $50 USD). High speed fiber optic cable internet makes sending a note home or paying bills easy and quick. So "reaching out and touching someone" like the grand kids is easier and less expensive than ever. Video Chat is even possible. One thing wives like a lot when they live here is escaping the drudgery of house work. Trustworthy maids work for around $3 USD per hour and husbands can escape yard work (if they want to) because gardeners work for around $3 USD per hour also. As you can see by these examples of living expenses the pension amount you mentioned will allow a luxurious life style here. Let me know your travel dates by e mail to Sid@ChapalaClub.com and I can share some travel tips with you. We can even arrange a telephone conference on one of my direct USA lines if you like. It's up to you how much help you want from me and how fast you want it. Some folks like to be spoon fed and others want the "whole meal deal". Either way is fine with me. I hate high pressure force feeding. Sorry, but it makes me want to run the the other way. So that's not my style. Remember the key to convincing spouses that our area may be right for them is to just come down for a look see investigative vacation. The people (North Americans and Local folks), the climate, and luxury lifestyle on a modest retirement normally does the rest. All for now. Thanks for sharing your situation. I suspect it will resonate with others. Siempre tu amigo, Sid Hi Ron, Yours is a common situation. Sometimes it’s the wives who have this problem. Fortunately, the solution is easy.
