Adios.
Oh and Mexico is in Central America. You have to get down arond the equator and below to be in South America. I believe Once you cross the southern Panama border you are there.
Me, I am thincking about Nicaragua or maybe Costa Rica. Nicaragua is much cheaper now than Costa Rica though not as stable.
Biggest issue is getting your money out of the USofA. The illegal and unconstitutional government tabs on your bank accounts under the false flag of fighting criminal activity makes it much more difficult. Amazing how you can go to jail just because you want to use your money however you see fit.

I could not believe the lavish apartments you can rent there for $450 a month (brand new) with gorgeous views of the mountains. The weather is gorgeous all year round at about 70 degrees average. Both countries have cheap medical care, much cheaper than the U.S. Food is cheaper and grown locally. They do have a Walmart in Puerto Vallarta. You can buy fresh caught seafood daily and locally grown vegetables and fruits from local markets and vendors. The only thing in Puerta Vallarta that is a little more expensive is clothing. I was thinking of making and selling clothing there, since I love to sew. I'm pretty sure that's where I'm going. Most expats get a 4 year residency visa. Also, cars are cheaper in Puerta Vallarta. They have a Toyota dealership there and I found out you can buy a brand new Toyota for $9,000!!!
