Exactly why I'm in the process of securing an agent to help and advise setting up an apartment in Puerto Vallarta. This time next year, I will no longer be a U.S. citizen. After two years of research, I'm satisfied I can live very comfortably on less than half pf what I spend per. month here.
The folks I've talked to assure me t he people here are very warm, thoughtful, and supportive of American Ex.pats. since we are such an asset to their economy. Everything I need is within a short walking distance, my health care needs will be easily met.
At first I was nervous and somewhat hesitant. I come from a very politically active family, often offering my home as a voting location and the processing of ballots etc. I no longer care to participate as a active citizen. I have no affection or interest in the USA sad to say.

@Grateful4you You're one of the lucky ones I guess , being able to leave that is. I expect many more feel the same way.

@RodionRomanovitch My main concern is the idea of a theocracy or military coup is that they might destroy our Social Security program then an entire population of low- income elders become totally indigent and without any means of support. Maybe some kind of communal co-op of former U.S citizens living in Mexico, I g uess time will tell.

@GoDodgers My best to the both of us. I know there are quite a few Americans who are well prepared survivalist who will remain in the U.S. but off the radar. I know of one in particular, he has an amazing underground house you absolutely cannot see until almost inside. It was decades in the making and you would think being underground it would be dark and a bit oppressive. Actually it's very light and airy, Although rarely needed, he has a woodstove used mainly for cooking. The house is such that it maintains around a 70 "something" temp year around. Natures insulation is the cheapest and most efficient insulation. Mark has a food surplus for at least two year plus period.
