4.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, January 7, 2009

By	Jerome C. Boyer "jboyer" (Jocotepec, Jalisco Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you ever considered retiring in Mexico, and we ARE, this is the book. It gives US and Canadian citizen the right information, in an easy to read and understand format.

You will find excellent suggestions on where to live, what to expect and how to deal with Mexican immigration laws. Our experience is limited to Lake Chapala area, but the information in the book are accurate and up to date for that region.

I only gave 4 stars as I felt the book could cover a bit more about Mexican life style. I know there are other books on the topic, but it would have been nice to cover some here too.

Mexico is changing rapidly. I strongly suggest that you try buying the most recent edition on any Mexican books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Curious enough to read this book, May 16, 2008

By	R. Greuling (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like I would imagin many that purchase this book I'm considering retiring and am seeking the opportunities to experience a different culture, a slower pace, an area with better values and less crime, lower taxes and a lower cost of living. I'd like to find that secure feeling of rural-town america of years ago before everyone sought entitlement, special interest groups recieved preferiental treatment, and we passed laws ensuring evryone's individual rights became far more important than our societies needs. Is this Mexico? This book provides an insight to some of the cultural differences, climate differences of areas, cost of living differences and some other very benefitial information. I would reccomend this well-written book to anyone considering an extended trip to Mexico.

2.0 out of 5 stars Retire someplace else, September 7, 2008

By	B. J. Price "June Bug" (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really didn't think this book was very helpful except in talking me out of retiring to Mexico. Mostly negative.
