I'm Much Happier Living In Mexico City Than In America - Here's How Much It Costs
It would be interesting to know the position of Americans living in Mexico regarding Donald Trump's intentions to militarily invade Mexico. Are you living well? Relaxing here and earning a salary in the United States?... Then please do something significant about this.

@rayojuaninMexico City is magical.
@3x157you're happy in mexico because we Mexicans didn't use african slaves. No "chicago" in Mexico🇲🇽👊
@hoopti-1thank you for calling yourself an immigrant and not an expat.
@deisysanjuanactorI’m confused she said she barely made 60,000 as a 20 year teacher but now she has 470,000 in savings and I’m sure that money didn’t come from living in Mexico City if the cost is that low
@tonysfarks5070I just love your perspective
@azaleiabakerThis isn't for me, but I can certainly understand why a woman would opt for this after 20 years of a crappy marriage and teaching bratty kids in public school.
@DevinBlackburnEsqThere goes the barrio. 😆
@GlobalPsychosisto me blackamericans are welcome to Mexico i am afromexican mexican from Mexico my greatgrandfather was black and native American hes was Mexican hes family from texas Arizona i am Mexican from Mexico i am african hatian jamaican native American afromexicans are mixed with black American hatian jamaican i am afromexican
@Alan-v5t9nsmart woman
@lowland1450If Mexico is so great why are there so many people trying to come in the USA illegally? Please stay in Mexico
@BeautifulAlaskahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCneU0cVHeM
@MrChecojvtThey'll destroy it
@71SpannerEven so, México City is expensive, she could spend half of that or even less in cities like Puebla, Morelia, Querétaro, León or Pachuca.
@ManuelTrevignoIt’s gonna b only a few months , after tha wll desire to go back to USA Lady
@SergioMartinez-tw5myShes an inspiration for anyone who wants to finally start living and stop being a piece of the machinery that control our daily lives. That at the end, most people would never appreciate what you do for them.
@cuauhtlequetzquibarajas9814I want to live in Mexico City maybe lol. Weather is also good!
@FitOutsideTheBoxThe benefit of having an income of US Dollars while living in Mexico. Gentrifier
@laurieldeneuve8779Gentrifier
@laurieldeneuve8779Sto coming down to México!!!!
@joseantonioaguilabalderas7549Coming from Mexico as a child I had no choice. Am I the only one that sees the true fact. There never was an American dream. What buy a house (lot's of struggles)and barely get by how about bills food clothing, insurance, vehicles. And then comes anxiety, hypertension diabetes. I got one thing to say keep your American dream
@HectorAlvarado-z8nSo basically all the poor people want to now move to Mexico because they can live like kings. Just stay where you are.
@dggmjSo you pay tax ????
@vladymirbarabatacasas4379Obviusly she prefers to live in my country, making dollars and spending in pesos. Because of you, life in Mexico city has been inaccesible. Please don't come here to evict our people.
@jovitadelpilarferramadrid8529OK si esta feliz ,que hable español
@hazardwolfThank you for video and us American over listens to cartel bull no more visa for Mexico issued. That great place with great people and parades.
@Dealwithit_602Kick Americans out of Mexico
@TrulyExeceptionalSalesI love that haircut! Thank you for the inspiration! This lifestyle gives me hope!❤
@krisltaiwynnHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA ENJOY YOUR MEXICO CRIME CITY DOOMED
@FROGTHATISANGRYI can't wrap my head around why anyone would want to move to a country where its own people are clamoring to get out.
@speakeasy911Yeah I am in the process of getting my visa and relocating there in the next few years. I’m retired so it’s easier for me to
@StStephen5280It's a romantic idea to be able to have more time for leisure and spend less money HOWEVER as an American I do agree that Americans who decide to live in another country must adapt to their culture and learn their language. Make an effort just as you expect immigrants to America to make an effort. She seems like a beautiful soul and I'm happy that she's found peace and joy. Be safe, God bless.
@discoveryandimaginationAnd yet the media acts like those who are deported back to Mexico are being thrown into a dark hole.
@dh2profitMexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🌮🌯🫔❤❤❤ 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
@beencouragedwithlynnGood for you. So what? I don't care.
@clasicradioloverThis is inspiring as I compare cities in Mexico to relocate to! I’m a social worker and I’m ready to leave America. There is no dream here for me!
@AngieLove5555Wow!!
@T.AlejandraTuinstra-c9oVery dangerous place
