Have you ever wondered what Mexico retirement is like? We spend a good deal of time talking about things like savings, good property prices and nice clinics – these are all important, but what about day to day life?
Imagine waking up in the morning with the rising sun shining into your window. You get up and make yourself a coffee, which you enjoy out on your balcony. The day is going to be warm, but the cool breeze makes it perfect to enjoy the coffee in the refreshing morning.
And breakfast – well, you could make it yourself, or go buy it for $3 at the cafe around the corner. You choose the cafe. Heading out the door you see your neighbor and chat about going to the beach in the afternoon. He’s from Indiana, just like you. It’s nice to have neighbors from back home. The gardener, who knows a bit of English, also stops and chats. It’s not just retirees who have time to chat – it’s how life is in Mexico.
The cafe makes good pastries. Do you go for a chocolate filled croissant, or opt for the healthier mango smoothy – made of fresh, locally grown fruit, sweeter than anything you ever got back home? You could easily go for both; after all, they cost so little.
After breakfast you go for a relaxing stroll on the beach – the breeze is still cool, but the sun is 
already very warm. Along the way, you stop for a nice cold drink, which you enjoy at a rustic wooden table right on the sand – or perhaps you prefer a hammock; they have a few of those up as well.
You meet some friends for lunch; everyone’s in the mood for tasty Mexican food – enchiladas, tamales, etc. Together, you plan your afternoon; golf, tennis or perhaps a little outing to a nearby nature park. They have wonderful pools to go snorkelling in. Later in the week you’re thinking of a boat trip. One of your friends has been out on a tour with a local guide that was really nice.
After a wonderful afternoon out in the warm sun, and a delicious supper of local seafood, you decide you could go for something easy – a movie in the theater, or just a walk through the mall. You end your day with a quick dip in the pool, and relaxing on your balcony again.
Of course, Mexico retirement could be so many different lifestyles, and include so many different activities. This is just a very little sample of what a relaxing day in the life of a retiree in Mexico could be like!
