We surveyed over 500 retired expats in Mexico to find out where they live, what it costs, what they value, and why they stay. Their answers are unexpected and astounding! The Fun Side of the Wall is not just a book about how to retire in Mexico, it is also a critique of the way retirement has been commodified in the United States. This push for commercially structured senior living has left many Baby Boomers in search of more authentic surroundings. In Mexico, they've found something special - authentic community and a true sense of purpose and belonging. In this book you will learn about: 8 of Mexico's Fastest Growing Expat Communities ; How you and a Spouse Can Live on $1800/Month (with full-time housekeeper and pool) ; Getting your Temporary vs. Permanent Residency ; Choosing the Right Mexican National Healthcare Program ; Your Employment Eligibility ; The Expat Dating Scene ; Mexico's 200% Lower Cost of Living ; How to Retire Earlier with Less Money.
