Good luck chaps !!

Even though the tap water where I live is safe to drink, I use a water filter that removes contaminants before drinking it, as far as the toilet paper goes, I grew up in the country before there was septic safe paper, so we couldn't flush it, it was taken out twice a day, we used to be allowed to burn paper trash back in the day also but now with the the septic safe paper it can be flushed. I hope I can make the move to Mexico in a few years before it's no longer possible.

Filters are always good. I’d rather err on the side of caution when it comes to drinking water. I use a filter in the US for my drinking water too. That’s interesting about the septic safe toilet paper. Are most of today’s modern brands considered septic safe or are there just a few specific brands that are?

That’s a great point guys! Ideally, the best is a remote job. If you like working somewhere brick and mortar and want to consider moving to Mexico, I’d look into Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, etc. Those are cities where I’ve heard good things about the job markets. From what I’ve heard in a lot of places the job market is lacking at best. Totally agree about the food! The lifestyle, eating healthy for great prices, day to day stuff is the best. Steady work is the only setback for sure. Good luck guys. Excited to continue following your journey!

I am halfway through the video and enjoying it. Good, objective answers, without generalizing. My experience with Mexico is too old to be able to form any opinion today. The segment about safety was spot on. I've lived in Brazil, which I would call a very unsafe country, where you can be robbed on buses at gunpoint, and even robbed at traffic lights at gunpoint. You mentioned Portugal. There is definitely crime, but it is usually of a small nature, like pickpockets or the car window being broken to get at a jacket. Twice in Porto, which is considered a very safe city, we had our car broken into, the first time to take all of our tennis equipment, and the second to take my jacket, which I had left on the seat. I must say though that living in a small town serious crime is almost non-existent. Murder is unheard of. I think that when most of the population of a country is middle class you are not going to get a lot of crime. Also, as is the case of Portugal, a large portion of the population is over 65 and these people don't usually commit car jackings or carry out hold ups at ATMs. Another factor, in the case of Portugal, is that a lot of the crime used to be carried out by hard drug users (we are talking heroin) who needed to rob people to sustain their habit. With the decrimminalization of drugs here and treatment centers where addicts can get methadone, most of that kind of crime has disappeared.

Great advice y’all! I think you do a great job and I appreciate your honesty. I’m touring Mexico now solo with only my social security income. I’m trying to be very careful but so far my expenses have been much less than in Lexington Ky where I’m from. Was paying $1000 a month just for rent not including utilities and much less here. Agree Airbnb has gotten to be too expensive. I now don’t qualify for residency here so will be moving on at the end of august. I’m looking for other countries I can visit where my money will go far. I’ve got friends in Turkey so I might be going there next. Depends on how putins war plays out I guess. Y’all just do what’s best for y’all and everything will work out fine.

I remember, years ago, but the situation hasn't changed that much, I was travelling along the west coast (somewhere between Los Mochis and Culiacán) by bus and had horrible diarrea. I had to ask the driver to stop in a small town and I knocked on the door of the first house I saw and asked them if I could use the toilet. Kindly, they let me in and I was able to find some relief, although the newspapers available in lieu of toilet paper were not that comfortable. But I was in no position to complain. Unbelievably, the bus was still parked in front of the door of the house, with the door open waiting for me. My advice is not to eat street food if you are going to take a bus trip.

I had to comment on the toilet paper thing. Toilet paper is already made to dissolved in water, if you do your thing properly you should have no problem flushing the toilet paper. It's more of an educational type of thing, I'm from Texas and now living and renting apartments in Monterrey and I have noticed that a lot of people from rural areas tend to use crazy amounts of toilet paper and and mess up the water flow. As you know there are a lot of public restrooms in big cities and I think that's were all this don't flush the toilet paper started and also the little piece of paper you get at public restrooms. It's more of an educational thing, there is no such thing as messing up the plumbing with dissolveble toilet papaer..
