A field guide for the second act
Retire in Mexico without the expensive mistakes.
Brochures sell you margaritas. Horror stories sell you fear. This 97-page guide gives you the truth: real budgets, visas, healthcare, the best towns, and a step-by-step 12-month plan.
Some retirees stay for decades. Others go home in 18 months.
The difference is rarely luck. It's preparation, realistic expectations and choosing the right place. Sound familiar?
