RE: Thinking of moving to GTO in December, expat family from Atlanta
@jesm that is actually another question I had about living in Mexico. The income. My husband receives a retirement pension from the army every month. It’s enough to pay our home here in Atlanta and his car and maybe a couple of small bills. In Mexico we are hoping it will provide a comfortable lifestyle. We want to get away from the materialistic view society here has taught us. We want to live with more quality. We do worry about adjusting to the lack of some luxuries like air conditioning, having a washer & dryer as I have read, or even having a car. We plan on selling our cars and buying one down there when we feel like it’s absolutely needed. However I did want to know how banking works down there? Should we open up an account with a Mexican bank? Will his deposits be converted into the peso amount? Will we lose value? Should we keep our military credit union?
My plan if everything turns out okay. Is that we don’t return to working, if we want, until our son is in school full time. We both have college degrees and decent experience. I speak Spanish fluently. I’ve seen jobs on LinkedIn for similar roles I had here in HR. I wonder what the pay is like for those? I don’t need much, it would just be a supplement. What are some of the reasons expats move back? Thanks again for your help?
