Thinking of moving to GTO in December, expat family from Atlanta

[jesm]

I take total exception to the comments of DonJuane about comparative costs of living between GTO and USA.
First look at his posting history on a multitude of subjects. He seems to have way too much time and hatred for life here. Do not allow his harsh take on his apparently miserable life to influence you about coming to Mexico.
Second, eight years full time life in GTO, 13 years total in Mexico. No employment. You can live OK here on $1000US per month, add in extras like frequent dining out ,larger living spaces and in country travel and $1500 works. Have $2000 and you approach all those horrible luxuries he rails against. My figures apply to a couple without costs for children, education etc.
Only one proof: try it. You can always go back.
