 <\/p>\n

It seems like a simple enough question, doesn\u2019t it? You are at point in your life when a major change is possible. You\u2019ve traveled to a few places in Mexico, kicked back on the beach at sunset with a cold cerveza and thought \u201cI really like this place \u2013 the weather is perfect, prices are good, the people are amazing \u2013 yes, maybe I could make this happen.\u201d And then, of course, most of us go back home and dutifully fall into the familiar daily grind, only occasionally allowing ourselves to remember that day on the beach and the possible plan that always seems\u2026just out of reach.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But now, more and more of us are acting on those elusive dreams. For many that time in life has arrived when the impossible becomes the possible, the impractical becomes \u201cjust maybe.\u201d The Baby Boomers, those \u201860\u2019s counterculture rebels-in-waiting, have worked for 40 years and are finally ready to be the people they remember they were. At the core, they are still the backpackers and wanderers, the idealists and the dreamers. And Mexico, after all, is so close, and it has all those warm beaches, and history, and food carts serving those mesquite tacos\u2026just maybe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just the Boomers. The internet has changed everything over the past 20 years. Today you find younger gringos, many with families, living in Mexico. They have web-based businesses they can run from anywhere, or they have started a physical business in Mexico \u2013 a restaurant, a tour business, a real estate office. They live in a Mexican neighborhood and are learning Spanish. They have discovered the concept of community, a soul-satisfying lifestyle that has all but disappeared in many towns and cities north of the border.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s important to notice that while Baby-Boomers are by far the most important group of expats these days, Mexico is also growing in appeal to younger Americans; investment in Mexico real estate promises to have a strong future!<\/p>\n
