Before choosing Mexico

Does the modeled climate fit your preferences?

This model includes warm, tropical, mild climate options and beach, city, nature settings. Compare seasonal temperatures and humidity in your specific city rather than assuming a country has one climate.

Does a good match mean I qualify for residence?

No. Affordability and residence eligibility are separate. Check the current official immigration requirements for your nationality, income type, age, and household. A calculator score is not an eligibility determination.

Can I use these figures as my final retirement budget?

No. Validate housing, insurance, medical care, taxes, travel, currency risk, and emergency savings against your own circumstances. The model does not forecast inflation, investment returns, or future prices.
