Replying to: gagrice (Jul 12, 2008 11:57 am) "...Where it gets sticky is within 25 miles of the coast..." Why would anyone want to live in Mexico if you didn't have an ocean view? The Mexicans don't even want to live there. That's why so many are leaving. "...Living in Mexico as a retired person can relieve much of the gas pains..." Yes, if your car will run on low octane gas. If I was going to retire to another country I would pick Poland. I hear the US dollar still has some clout there and the Polish Ham is supose to be great.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jul 12, 2008 2:29 pm) Poland used to be a big destination for US retirees but I haven't much about it lately. Hard to beat San Miguel de Allende although all the US residents there have caused the property values to go through the roof. Colonial hill town with a great climate not near the coast. While you go check it out we'll take a vacation in here too, at least until crude pops $175.
