What are the most challenging aspects of retiring in Lake Chapala?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees what they find the most challenging about retiring in Lake Chapala. They wrote...

"So far everything has moved right along except at a slower pace... We used the services of a recommended local attorney and we have a property manager. Between the two we have taken care of buying a home, car and paying the bills... If we had to do this alone it would take more time and probably peg the frustration meter...We will eventually take over the bill paying etc but for now this has proven to be a worth while expenditure," said another expat in Ajijic, Mexico.

"Getting mail! The mail system in Mexico is not great, or secure, so I need to rely on friends coming from the States to bring mail and packages. Receiving mail in other countries where I've lived has also posed a challenge in that forwarding mail is often quite expensive," wrote a member who made the move to Lake Chapala, Mexico.
