Monterrey is the nicest part of Mexico. You can get a black market kidney at a much more reasonable rate then in Cancun or Mexico City.

What and where is KANSAS ??\n\nARIZONA seems to be one of the fastest-growing places anymore.  Cost of living is less, although not a whole lot less (I'm told) than CALIFORNIA.  Nice weather and LOTS OF JOBS, I think.\n\nIf your family's there, I would go home and take a breather.\nAlso, if your parents are getting older, it would a VERY GOOD IDEA TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM BEFORE THEY GET MUCH OLDER -- you won't EVER REGRET THAT DECISION !!

there are quite a number of communites in Mexico where people from the United States and Canada have retired. Among the more popular places are the following:\nLake Chapala near Guadalajara, San Migual de Allende, and Puerto Vallarta.\n\nThese three locations each have large populations of English speakers. However, be aware that it is likely that the current mayor of Mexico City is likely to be elected the next president of Mexico. He is considered to be very left leaning. Also be aware that in the past Mexico has frozen bank deposits and devalued drastically the peso.

From the other side of the fence..... \n\n\nReceived from (Tom O'Malley) who was a Director with SW BELL in Mexico City: \n\n\nI spent five years working in Mexico. \n\nI worked under a tourist Visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working Illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval. \n\nDuring that six months our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the \nsame except hers did not permit her to work. \n\nTo apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my: \n\n1. Birth certificate for Barbara and I. \n\n2. Marriage certificate. \n\n3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation. \n\n4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation. \n\n5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year. \n\n6. A letter from The ST. Louis Chief of Police indication I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing." \n\n7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican Citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on Earth" letter. It was fun to write. \n\nAll of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder a bout 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on \nthe right. \n\nOnce they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican Attorney touring Mexican Government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times. At each location and we \nremember at least four locations we instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the Governments actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Loredo Texas. This meant we has rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid. \n\nWe could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law. \n\nWe were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the Licensing agency to come to our Headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and \nfingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back. \n\nWe then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The companies Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. It was about twenty legal size pages annually. \n\nThe FM 3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees. \n\nLeaving the country meant turning in the FM3 and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs. \n\nIt was a real adventure and If any of our Senators or Congressman we

Yes if I'm thinking of the right area, it is a nice area to live in - close to downtown San Jose. There's a lot of bars/clubs, restaurants, and a nice new shopping center.

If Mexico is so great, why do you want to be a legal here?\n\nIf your kids were in school or any of you went to a doctor here, we've already helped you enough.\n\nJust because this is a better country, doesn't mean you should come over illegally.  A lot of people want to come over but there is a process.  Some people are born good looking, some aren't, some people are born to wealthy families, some are desolate, some people are born Americans some aren't.  Next time I get down on my looks I will steal someone's body because their's is better than mine.  That doesn't make sense, make the best of Mexico and come over legally.  I love every Mexican I know, but every one I know is legal.  I can't respect anyone that purposely breaks the law.  What happens if you get arrested or something, they might deport you and your family will be here without you. That would be worse to me than living in Mexico.

It would be really interesting to form the United States of Amexicanda! And it is odd that we seem to fear Mexicans so much. But if tacos powered industry and automobiles, we would be in Mexico for sure.

Haha! I lived in Buffalo for about 10 months! \nLovely city, I love the people and it is really wonderful... I didn't even mind the snow, because atleast that is something to show for cold weather.\n...\nBUT the economy there SUCKS! I don't think I've ever seen such blatant political corruption in the USA, either. \nYou can find a better paying job just about anywhere else in the country.\nYou can find MORE jobs just about anywhere else in the country. \nFlorida's economy is doing great, from what I hear.\n\nIf your career options are important to you, YES I would move. \n\nIf you are in love with the city, unconditional of your possibilities to make money, and really hate the hot humid weather of S. Florida... well- stay in Buffalo, it's an otherwise awesome place :-)

I'm from Vegas.... and most of the things you said are key reasons for living there.  Nothing closes, you can work whatever schedule fits your sleeping patterns, the clubs are incredible..... and if you're female and reasonably attractive, coctail waitresses are paid incredibly well.\n\nApartment rates are pretty high though.

I come from Egypt. I love it! It's got great scenery, awesome weather, and the people are very friendly. The government, though, is very corrupt; and life standards are quite low. I highly recommend it for vacationers. It may also be good for businessmen. But, otherwise, the political and economic conditions are not very good.

Mexico. Preferably northern. Beautiful and inexpensive, rich and friendly culture. Close to home(if ur from the US). You shouldn't live near a beach though in my opinion. What if a brutal storm comes?? say goodbye to your belongings, some where a couple of miles away form the water would be good. That way you can go to the beach as a treat and it wont become mundane.
