Playa Del Carmen, Mexico (PressExposure) December 15, 2010 -- For Americans or Canadians planning to live in a Mexico retirement community, TOPMexicoRealEstate, a web site and network of some of Mexico's leading real estate experts, has recently released a new series of pages dedicated to providing useful information.
The new series of web pages includes the following:
A list of the 10 best places to retire in Mexico. This list takes several factors into consideration, such as healthcare services, existing expat community, activities and events, the cost of living, the quality of real estate available in the area, the cost of this real estate, and the accessibility of travel back home. The list also includes a variety of types of locations, ranging from big tourist resort areas, to quieter lakefront communities and colonial cities.
A cost of living comparison between Mexico and the U.S./Canada. This comparison points to goods and services which present some of the largest expenses to retirees, but are considerably cheaper in Mexico, offering significant savings, and allowing retirees to live better on a lower budget, and enjoy some extra activities, outings and experiences during these relaxing years in a warm climate. Two of the feature items are the cost of healthcare (usually less than half the price!) and properties, which, in some cases, can even be used to generate an income.
These are only two examples of the pages. The purpose of the pages is to provide information to present or soon-to-be retirees who are in the process of planning on a tighter budget, or even putting off retirement, so they can evaluate the possibility of enjoying a earlier, more relaxing and more active retirement in Mexico. It also presents the options of various areas so retirees can begin to get a feel for what kind of variety Mexico offers in retirement communities.
The largest number of the "baby-boomer" generation is just reaching retirement now, and, especially with the recent staggering of the U.S. economy, it is questionable whether it will be able to support the large wave of retirees coming up. In addition very high and rising costs of everything from healthcare to day to day expenses, or little pleasures like just going out for a meal, are making it ever more difficult for retirees to live comfortably, and many are living a more limited lifestyle, delaying retirement, working part time, or, more and more commonly, looking abroad for the solution.
Mexico, with its ideal combination of a low cost of living, very high-quality services, colorful culture and proximity to the U.S., is one of the best solutions available.
