Medical

Dr. Sergio Bojorquez Blanco, La Paz, Baja California Sur Experiencing Covid in Mexico - One man's medical adventure

Hello folks, I am an expat who has spent the last few years traveling and housesitting around Mexico. I contracted Covid 19 around the 2nd week of January, 2021, while staying alone in La Paz, Baja California Sur. I wanted to share what I experienced, just to maybe help someone else who may contract Covid 19 while being in Mexico, or while being far away from their home country.

Getting Covid in Panama - a personal story

No one wants to get Covid, and everyone's experience is different. Sometimes our Readers want to know if the medical care in a foreign country is reliable and the "Covid Factor" only befuddles the issue even further.

A Canadian Perspective on Health Care Overseas

In our experience, it seemed that Canadians generally were reticent to stay away from Canada longer than 6 months because they would lose their access to their home country's health care system. So, we asked Canadian Jim McLeod if he would answer a few questions for us to clarify, and then, to give that information to you. Here is that interview.

Because Billy and I live a lifestyle of travel, we often get readers asking us basic questions about medical tourism. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get asked. How do you know if this option will work for you? The following should help you decide.

No matter how healthy one is, it seems we all require dental care. It's quite a relief to know that one can obtain quality oral care overseas and at affordable pricing. Here is Billy's story of his tooth implant. first begun in Xela, Guatemala and finished in Chapala, Mexico. Excellent care! Prices, name of dentist, more.

Financial

Buying an Annuity versus Purchasing Equities

I read an article by Mark Hulbert titled Why retirees are better off safe than sorry. Mark explains that you could put $100,000 into an annuity and receive $501 per month guaranteed for your lifetime. This equates to $6,012 per year or a 6% return. Here’s the problem that I have with this.

The Fear of Market Downturns

Since the surviving of the 1987 crash when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 20% in one day, there have been other downturns including the recent ones of 2007-2008 and the Covid meltdown in March of 2021. We have learned from each of them.

Billy and Akaisha - How We Afford Our Lifestyle

It’s no secret that we have been living on around $35,000 per year. Now into our 33rd year of financial independence we see no need to lower our spending. In fact, we are trying to increase it. Some people do not believe we can have such a fulfilling lifestyle on this small annual amount, so in this article, we thought to explain how we do it.

   

Feeling Insecure about Retiring?

Retirement can be a daunting thought for many people, especially if they feel insecure about their financial future. The fear of not having enough money to support themselves or their loved ones can be overwhelming and cause significant stress. Here are some tips to help you be more at ease about retiring.   

Could the Dow Jones Industrial Average, DJIA, Hit 200,000 by 2041?

Here's a question for you: Could the Dow Jones hit 200,000 by 2041? Some say it's not wise to be investing now, while others let their political views obscure their financial risks. For the past 100 years, the DJIA has averaged 10 percent per year with dividends reinvested.

Can my investments survive a crisis if I retire early? It did for these early retirees living in Mexico - MarketWatch

The couple, who blog at Retire Early Lifestyle, invested 100% of their assets in the S&P 500 and let the market work for them. “Thirty years later and we have a higher net-worth today than back then, and that’s after inflation and spending,” Billy said.

Money Never Sleeps

Just because you retire, your money doesn’t have to. In the words of Gordon Gecko from the 1987 movie Wall Street, “money never sleeps.” And your money definitely won’t once you leave your job.

How to Fail at Early Retirement

First, let me say Billy and I don’t really use the word “fail.” We believe every situation offers learning opportunities, and calling that experience a failure just doesn’t jibe with who we are. In our lives, we want to move forward with the knowledge and wisdom we’ve gained - not benchmark it emotionally by calling it a failure.

Billy and Akaisha on the shores of Lake Chapala

The Cost of Working

you've probably asked yourself, "Do I have enough to retire?" But perhaps you should be asking, "How much am I paying to work?" After all, maintaining a career -- and the lifestyle that often accompanies it -- isn't free.

Men, Women, and Their Comparative Saving for Financial Independence

Why do women lag in retirement savings as compared to men? Are women at a disadvantage for reasons too numerous to list? Is it sexism? Are females not good savers? Big spenders? Is it really true that women get paid less for the same work performed? Is the world financially stacked up against women?

FIRE Philosophy

Home on Nevis, West Indies We had a spectacular housing situation, but my eyes refused to see it

We found ourselves in a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house that belonged to the Mayor’s brother. Painted white on the outside, the front terrace was a blistering orange. When I walked up the steps and turned around, I had a view of 3 islands. So, Why was I complaining?

Should You Be Taking More Risks in Your Life?

When the word “Risk” is mentioned in conversations, many people emotionally step back. “I’ve never been one for danger” I was told just last week. “I’m not much of a gambler” another said. Why is the idea of risk so challenging?

Painted fabric with crushed eggshell Life Lessons I've Learned through Making Art

Many times, it has occurred to me that the challenges I face in expressing myself artistically are really Lessons of Life. It’s that old question “Is art imitating life or vice versa?” In this article, I share some of these lessons, and hope you find them both fun and useful.

You Are Stronger than You Think

Lately, on several shows we have noticed that the talking heads are saying “It’s only going to get worse.” This is one of those phrases that takes away the idea that we, as humans, can solve our problems. These talking heads are in an influential position and instead of feeding us a steady diet of fear, their place of responsibility demands that they rise to the occasion and give us solutions - ways to get out of our labyrinth of confusion.

We Do Not Know the Future

Depending on where one stands, the idea of "The Future" can be invigorating or terrifying. The thing is, The Future is going to come anyway, and regardless of our best efforts, we can never guarantee the outcome.

Living Our Lives at Our Chosen Pace, Always Dreaming

Curiosity still has the magic to pull us forward, and this adds sparkle to our eyes and vitality to our lives. Today we want more comfort in general and are willing to pay for it. Our focus is to maximize these years, and still emphasize value for money spent.

Relax, Breathe and Enjoy the Moment

Once in our travels around the world, Billy and I made a trip to Laos. There was a day when we were walking along the Mekong River and taking in the scenery. Basically, full of wonder, we meandered along until we got to this bend in the road. It was here that I felt a strange tug at my heart and looked to my left away from the river. I practically whispered to Billy, “Something is over there. I’m curious, let’s go see.”

There Are Two Paths to FIRE

As the years have gone by, we have received many questions about FIRE. We’ve spoken to those who wish to retire early, and to those who have already done so. What has emerged as a theme, is that there are two paths to FIRE: the monetary, measurable path -- and the emotional, immeasurable path. Let us explain.

Restaurant La Porfiriana, Puebla, Mexico

Lessons We Learned in 2022

We have heard from friends and family how happy they were to see the year 2022 in their rearview mirror. Can’t argue with that. Yet, in my opinion, 2022 brought us great lessons, from which we can benefit. We share them here.

Dennis and Martha McIntire

How Do You Contribute to the World?

Sometimes there is an idea that those who FIRE are living an egoistic lifestyle, jet-setting around the world without thought to those who are less fortunate. In our experience, we have not found that to be true. In fact, we think becoming Financially Independent is one of the best things you can do for yourself and for the world.

How Travel Prepares You for the Unexpected

When we left the traditional work force in 1991, we sold everything and began to travel the world. These experiences forced us to be flexible even when we didn’t want to. We share some FUN examples here.

Are You Creating Loneliness in Your Future?

A recent article about a study in the UK says that hundreds of thousands of people often go a week without speaking to a single person. Nearly half of all the seniors interviewed said they’d feel more confident to head out each day if they knew their neighbors. This begs the question… why don’t we know our neighbors?

Creative Day of Cooking - Our Christmas Day Bash

Billy and I love to cook and entertain in our home, and we still do it from time to time. This Christmas was one of those times. Take a here at how we entertained friends all day long with breakfast brunch and a GREAT dinner!

Creative Cuisine at Home

As you may (or may not) know, Billy is a trained French Chef. He and I owned a restaurant for a decade in Santa Cruz, California, before his career in finance. We love to cook at home and both of us have a great time coming up with tasty combinations. It's a core value and interest that we share in our relationship. Recently, we spent some home time in Mexico making fabulous meals.

Boracay, The Philippines There Is No Greater Virus than Fear

We have a choice. We can live a life of fear, or one of hope and optimism. Dwelling on fears clouds the mind. It creates anxiety, emotional contraction, judgment of others and it becomes difficult to make a clear decision about anything. When we consider our abilities, good fortunes, and the possibilities of the future, we are able to see windows instead of walls. It’s the place where we have ideas, dreams, solutions to existing problems, and we create new inventions.

Money Isn't What Makes You Rich

Some of the best financial minds in the business cannot predict volatile market swings. Personally, we've been through tough financial storms and without trying to sound like Pollyanna, it is during these drops in the markets that we find ourselves to be the most grateful. Before you reject this idea out of hand, hear us out.

Travel

How to Budget for Wanderlust in Retirement - Q and A with a Reader

It is just my wanderlust that I am unable to estimate the budget for as I really want to see all continents as a traveler/retiree. Rajat. -- You mentioned that you were unable to estimate your travel costs while in retirement - I understand that some retirees have a special budget for that. For Billy and me, we travel as a lifestyle and we keep a running average of expenses, both daily and annually. We don't have a separate stash of money set aside for travel. Read more...

Street Beggars, Part of an Expat Lifestyle

For your new retirement lifestyle, perhaps you decided to move to a different country. Then, all of a sudden, you become aware of the beggars on the street. It’s an uncomfortable moment because in your home country these people are institutionalized and not to be seen. Yet in many foreign countries, street people - or beggars - appear “everywhere." How do we deal with this new paradigm? Let me share some stories with you.

International Travel in the Days of COVID

I did not want to book a ticket only to receive a voucher for a cancelled flight, so for weeks beforehand, I did my homework and had been tracking arrivals and departures from both Guadalajara, Mexico (GDL) and Phoenix Skyharbor Airport (PHX) in Arizona. While other airlines were no longer flying this route, American Airlines had been dependable, with daily flights on time and arriving in one piece. I made my reservations online, and signed up for text alerts on my flight. The day of the departure...

After enjoying a couple of days at Lake Atitlan, the world began changing rapidly due to the COVID-19 virus, and travel plans needed to be adjusted hourly.

Contacting a coyote, getting into tuk-tuks, two days and $1,000USD later, I found myself back in Chapala, Mexico where Akaisha was waiting. Read more...

Our Adventures in Paradise, Nevis, West Indies

In 1991 when we first left the working world, our plan was to go to the tiny island of Nevis, West Indies, a 36 sq. mile rock in the Caribbean ocean. On various barefoot cruises in the past, we had visited Nevis and thought it would be a good place to slow down from our over-scheduled lives. Life moves slow in de islands, Mon, and Billy likes to say that we wanted to hit a wall. Just. Stop. And enjoy life.
