Hi Sandy, my husband and I live in Mazatlán and love every minute of it! I would say you can live modestly on that amount in either Maz or Lake Chapala, but unlike some ads will tell you, you can't "live like a king on $1,000 a month" any more. Rentals here go from as little as $150 a month (Honestly! That's the rent we paid for the house we wound up buying) up to several thousand dollars a month. Here is a link to a couple that run a rental business, and they have a good reputation here in Mazatlan, http://mazatlan.homestead.com/ . But to find the really good deals, you have to first rent short term and then walk or drive the neighborhoods you like, talk to the landlords (and the other tenants) and your friends. You have to be here a while to know for sure exactly what part of town you'd like to be in anyway.

If you'd like more detailed information on costs, living conditions, or have any questions about Mazatlán, feel free to send me a message!

Can one live on $17-$18K per year in Chapala, Aijjic, or Mazatlan and have a decent standard of living? These are areas my husband and I are researching. I cannot find much info on rentals in Mazatlan. If you have any other suggestions, I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

La Manzanilla is in the State of Jalisco, 1 hour north of Manzanillo. It is located next door to El Tamrindo Resort and about an hour from Costa Careyes. You can visit www.visitlamanzanilla.com where you can see photos and read about things to do, restaurants, etc.

I think I blogged about the deaths in Vallarta on this site. Bottom line: if you're involved with drugs you have a very short life expectancy. In any country. Don't judge Mexico by the actions of a few. If we did that no one would go to Miami or Los Angeles! Come on down and have a great time.

Great will be going to the World Center for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in Cuernavaca for about 10 days. With travel time in Mexico City for a day on each end, stay at a hostel run by las Guida de Mexico in the Zona Rosa.

Well, it’s no secret I hate most Mexican banks. For good reason, I might add. Today I’m having the less-than-pleasant experience of closing two accounts we’ve had since about 1990. With things being as they are I figure others will want to do the ...
