  1. Harry you are veery Nobel but recycling is not working. I am sorry.
  2. Sorry 6000 pesos every two months. Also we had to listen to 30 minutes of political speech. Then I got my card.
  3. I must have been grandfathered in. I have had my citizenship for just over 8 years. Goes to 6000 in 2024.
  4. Well I am not a biologist so economic stuff is over my head but, 15% drop plus inflation makes it probably 20% less spending power.
  5. There is a website with instructions. Just search apoya bienestar. Only qualifications is you have to be old. You will need the usual documents electric bill proof on citizenship curb INE etc. Takes about 3 to 4 months after the application. You get a debit card (Mastercard) Any ATM or if there is a Bienestar bank no ATM fees. It might be better in Guadalajara lakeside they are prejudice.I suspect in Joco they through mine in the garbage after I left. Good luck and let me know.
  6. Apoyo adultos Mayores.It is an old age pension for citizens 65 and older. Not much but helps. Right now 4800 pesos every two months. January goes to 6000. I applied in Jocotepec many times and never received anything. I applied here in Sonora, Guaymas and got it. Pays the electric bill.
  7. Thanks for asking. I live on the golf course and it was something. My pool was a mess signs down around town. Some areas still without electric.
  8. I keep mentioning Dolarapp. It's a Mexican card (Mastercard) 4% cash back great exchange rate I only pay ATM fees. Last time I took cash 30 pesos.
  9. It is everywhere not just Mexico, Colombia and probably all countries. I have many friends that help me shop when it matters to me. I always ask how much less. Just walk away slowly. They often will come down.
  10. I have always worried about this. So I Usually withdraw smaller amounts. Yea, I have to pay the ATM fees (about two dollars for me) but I sleep better. Question to anybody are there ways to audit the machines?
  11. The only good thing about that area is the climate. I mean temperatures. Even the air quality is not good. Just the temperatures. I don't regret my decision.
  12. Find a rancher or farmer they will make it work for something. Maybe feed storage etc.
  13. I first was thinking Puerta Penasico because I had lived there in my RV for about 3 months and liked it. One of my RV stops heading south was San Carlos and altho it was just a one day experience many years ago I kinda liked it. So I came here to check it out for 6 months two years ago and found the beauty of the Sea, and the desert and the wild life is amazing. The people are like minded. San Carlos is a community but, it is not a pueblo it is boulevard with many restaurants and bars. There are 3 marinas the water is amazing. Whales, Orkas, seals, etc. I have made a new circle of friends even more than Lakeside. No traffic problems no traffic lights. Guaymas is twenty minutes and all the usual stuff Sam's, Walmart etc. 4 hours from the border 6 hours to Tucson So I can get real tacos from Taco Bell. I am lucky my home is on the golf course swimming pool, from my back porch is an incredible view of the famous mountain Tetakawei. Look up "What's up San Carlos". Even more information. The only downside is the heat but, it is only 3 months. Also at sea level and my O2 blood saturation is super. Kind of strange during good weather I leave my sliding glass door open and there is a bird not afraid which comes into my home and makes himself at home. I love my life wherever I am. Thanks for asking.
  14. Ouch, my spending power is over 20% less and prices are going up also. 😢
  15. 20 + years living there I rarely broke a sweat. I am from Florida and now live in San Carlos where everyday is deodorant day.
  16. https://redstate.com/jimthompson/2023/06/29/ruh-roh-nebraska-solar-array-destroyed-by-baseball-sized-hail-n768863
  17. I lived there 2o years and do not remember this long without rain. I remember getting soaked on my Moto in late April in Joco, then another soking in May then nothing till middle of June. A wonderful climate is Medellin, Colombia.
  18. Ha! Your correct governments never take blame.
  19. I am a nationalized Mexican. Years ago in Jocotepec I opened an account in Bancomer now BBVA I had all my papers including my papers for my nationality my Mexican passport, voting card, etc. they asked where I was born. I asked why, they said because I was born in the U. S. I still fall under the FACTA law. After years banking with them was not happy there. The Dolarapp is the better solution for me. You should check it out.
  20. Good advice. Where I live I try to drink almost 1 1/2 to 2 liters daily. I also mix about 50-50 with electrolyte. I remember as a young person feeling dizzy then blurred vision then goodnight. Don't forget yours dogs and cats.
  21. According to webmd 85% of all lung cancers are caused by smoking. I would also like to note if a pill can save a life cool. I want that one pill to make me skinny. BTW I am transknny. I identify as skinny.
