I keep telling everyone Mexico’s the best place to retire. I wouldn’t expect you to take my word for it just because I say so, but there are few excellent reasons for you to believe it:
- I’m enjoying an excellent retirement in Mexico.
- I could give you the names and stories of dozens of others who are doing the same, on any size of budget, and these just the ones I know personally – there are thousands more.
- International ratings, year after year, are ranking Mexico retirement at the top of the world.
Most recently, The Daily Reckoning gave Mexico a very high score of 89.6 (out of 100) for its quality and accessibility of retirement. The following scores were given to various aspects of retiring in Mexico:
- Mexico real estate: 94
- Social Benefits: 91
- Cost of Living: 88
- Ease of Integration: 96
- Entertainment & Amenities: 96
- Health: 88
- Infrastructure: 75
- Climate: 89
The only part I’m not too sure about in this rating is that 75% for infrastructure; down here in Playa del Carmen and in many other places like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Lake Chapala, to name just a few, millions are invested into new infrastructure expansion (roads, airports, etc.) and upkeep every year. But perhaps they’re considering the country as a whole.
In any case, they right in saying Mexico is a very easy, comfortable and affordable place to retire. In this rating, Mexico easily outstripped famous places like 
France, Brazil, Ireland, Costa Rica and Italy.
While you don’t need an international survey to tell you the benefits of retiring in Mexico, it’s nice to see that news reports beginning to confirm what American retirees have already known for decades:
If you want to retire well on a lower budget, retire in Mexico; if you want to live like a king on an average budget, retire in Mexico.
