Retire Early

6 years ago
Hello, I am retiring early at 52 (may consider being transnational and work part time in the USA as an option or not LOL).

I been doing research into Mexico as a possible destination. I like PV, also San Miguel De Allende but I am open to other areas,

I have severe degenerative joint disease in both shoulders so I need more tropical weather to ease the arthritis. By profession I am a social worker and educator so I am looking for a local community (no gated communities for me).

Financially, I am far from rich but after settling in will have a budget of about 1500-1800 monthly. SSI doesn't kick in for 10 years which will give me 1000 bump then, In the mean time, I do have enough saving to buy a home or apartment and savings to get me through until SSI kicks in.

As far as lifestyle, It's important for me to add value to my community (volunteering, small business etc). I like to stay active, workout, enjoy community, go out to dinner, movies, cafe's etc. I speak a little Spanish (very little) but I will embrace the language of my host community.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Respectfully,
Michael
