Every year thousands of foreign nationals move to Mexico to enjoy a high quality retirement or second home.
They choose the Ajijic, Lake Chapala area of Mexico for many reasons: The climate is superb, the facilities are good, it's safe and their pensions and investment money can go further in Mexico than they do in the USA, Canada or Europe - enabling them to enjoy a higher standard of living.
It is calculated that as of 2008, over ONE MILLION Americans and Canadians have made Mexico their new home … making it the most popular overseas retirement destination on the planet.
"Besides Mexico's great weather, low prices and rich culture, this country's biggest draw is its proximity to the U.S. This allows you much more flexibility when making your retirement move. And because of great cellular coverage and widely available high-speed Internet, Mexico is also appealing to an increasing number of professionals and business people who semi-retire to Mexico, continuing to work by the pool with a laptop. Mexico's health care system is very good, and often excellent, with many doctors and dentists trained in the U.S. or Europe." – MSN Moneycentral, February 2008
"The economy is growing steadily, and poverty rates are declining significantly. Crime is down, public health and education levels are improving, and Mexico's democracy is more robust than at any time in its history." - USA Today, February 2008
