Did the soaring cost of a Mexican Retirement Visa just kill your dream of moving south?
If you have been dreaming of retiring to Mexico on a fixed income, you have likely hit a massive wall of anxiety. A few years ago, you could secure a Mexican residency visa with an income around $2,000 a month. Today, however, Mexico requires proof of over $4,300 a month just to get through the front door.
For the millions of Americans relying solely on an average Social Security check, the message seems grim: You are priced out. Stay home.
But what if you aren't looking at the right data?
