My New Book: The Mexico Solution - Saving Your Money, Sanity, and Quality of Life Through Part-Time Life in Mexico

 

You do not need to move to Mexico full-time to experience the benefits of expat life. Even living part-time in Mexico allows you to reap many of the financial and emotional benefits of full-time life there.

Part-time expat life lets you “test the waters” and buys you the time needed to thoughtfully plan your strategy, whether it is to remain a part-time expat indefinitely, or move there permanently one day.

Likely over the last several years, you have digested some hard facts about trends in the U.S. that could affect your quality of life in the future, disturbing facts about the continued rise in the cost of healthcare and the projected continued rise in the cost of housing. Compounded with the demoralizing youth orientation our culture has always had, many are questioning their future there.

The prospects for a comfortable retirement, or even a solid middle class life by its historical benchmarks of security and quality of life are dissolving right in front of many of us. The gig economy cannot take the place of what has been lost in terms of livable wages, healthcare, and many of the comforts our parents had, like vacations and pension plans.

You do not have to accept the the dizzying increase in the cost of living, the $2,000 ambulance ride, and the relentless pursuit by the most sophisticated marketing machine in the world. Online tools and technology have made escape to another country easier than ever.

Where to begin?

The Mexico Solution: Saving your money, sanity, and quality of life through part-time in Mexico provides you the steps to cutting your budget in half while living in the best of both worlds.

With The Mexico Solution as your guide, you can begin to learn what to expect and prepare for if thinking about life in Mexico. Unlike other guides, this book will serve as a guide, but an amusing one, anecdotally making points to consider in your move.
