My wife and I decided to move to Mexico when I decided to retire early. It was basically an economic decision: we are health care refugees from the US. However, we both have wanted to travel and find adventure in other countries and Mexico seemed a relatively close and easy jump to make from Oregon. Mexico has exceeded all our expectations so far, and neither of us can find any good reason to go back to the US. Cost of living is about 1/2 of our US expenses, and health care is good to excellent and laughably cheap compared to the US. We love the people we have met, both expats and local Mexicans, and there are countless fascinating places to visit.
