Is Lake Chapala Ajijic For You? … What Category Are You In? In my experience, couples that contact me fall into two general categories: Category 1: Both spouses are interested in the beautiful and affordable area of Mexico collectively known as Lake Chapala. Category 2 One or the other spouse is skeptical. They may feel if it sounds too good to be true, then it isn’t true. The partner who wants to come down for a check us out trip so bad they can taste it of course tries to convince the other one to make plans to come down to see our area. If you’re the partner who thinks you should come down: Good for you, but here’s some advice. Don’t argue, don’t push, just say something like… “Let’s go have a nice holiday away, enjoy the great weather, meet some people who live there, look around a little and then we’ll see what we think.” Follow up with, “I could be wrong about the area…. and if I am… I’ll be the first to admit it… but if we both like it, I promise not to say, ‘I told you so’. But, if you don’t think it could be right for us, then I love you and we’ll cross Lake Chapala off our list, fair enough.” Now a word to the skeptical partner: (Just in case you’re reading this article, which I doubt, but if so, good for you. Thanks for having an open mind. I promise to let it all hang out and I will not cover you up with a bunch of B. S. I’ll just answer your questions honestly without pulling any punches. It is what it is… and either you’ll like it or you will not like it. I’ll even point out the negatives (yes there are a few even for folks who our area is definitely right for). No area is “perfect perfect” at least not in this world, but for me Lake Chapala comes real close. Is it the best place in the world to retire? Well it is for thousands of North Americans who could have chosen any place in the world to hang their retirement hat. But, I admit that doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Only you and you alone can make that decision. However, it’s so right for so many that you owe it to yourself to come for a visit and look around, to meet some folks who live here, and to get some honest straight from the shoulder information.
