Hello! Thank you for the very informative piece on relocating to Mexico. It’s clear that a lot of effort and expertise went into crafting these guides.
I’m particularly interested in real estate opportunities and lifestyle planning. The way you outlined the local insights and planning strategies was quite engaging. It’s great to know there’s a resource focused on making intentional and informed decisions.
A quick question, if you don’t mind: In the current climate, how often do you recommend revisiting and adjusting lifestyle and relocation plans? Understanding these dynamics could be quite beneficial.
Thanks again for sharing these valuable insights! Looking forward to more updates and would love to hear your thoughts on reader questions in the future.
Hi Camille, thank you for expressing your kind feedback.
In response to the question you asked: In the current climate, how often do you recommend revisiting and adjusting lifestyle and relocation plans?
People might revisit lifestyle plans ad-hoc, even on a whim, but more often it’s related to life stage or life events: for example, something changes, or something happens which calls them to review their current situation and consider potential alternatives.
Some of the more common themes that act as triggers include transitions of life stages involving jobs, career shifts, a desire for children to get an international experience, children leaving home, health & wellbeing, a significant and unexpected turn of events of any kind, and (pending) retirement.
If someone has already made a move to Mexico, revisiting and adjusting lifestyle plans once they are here might happen if the location or environment isn’t working out as expected, or changes in personal circumstances happen, or some extraordinary event occurs, which forces the person, couple, or family to reconsider their original choices.
“How often” might be driven by these types of events and circumstantial situations themselves instead of a prescribed review period. Some people might intentionally choose to review their situation and choices after certain time periods, and concur to make adjustments accordingly. This is also related to a matter of good communication between couples and families and being always conscious of each others’ (changing) needs–which chapters of the guide also address–in order to mitigate material mistakes and roll with the inevitable challenges and changes that emerge as part of a move abroad.
