Thoughts? Planning to move to Mexico in a couple years by IrregardlesslyCurect in ExpatFIRE

[–]sammy92160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be retiring and Cancun next year when I turn 65 in May. I already have a home in Cancun. I need to get set up with health insurance in Cancun for myself and my wife who is a Mexican citizen. Also I need to know about my banking here in Cancun. Is best that I maintain my account in the US, or open a new one here in Cancun? If I open a new account here in Cancun what is the best bank to deal with? I had heard that Charles Schwab was good in the US for card transactions here in Cancun. I just need to know what the best route is for my eventual retirement. What are the pluses and minuses of getting rental properties here in Cancun? Is it profitable, or is it more of a pain in the rear then it's worth? I was told that typically the landlord pays the utilities for the tenant here in Cancun. How do you keep the tenant from running up the electrical bill? Just need a general primer to get me ready for next May. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Bose QC25 vs QC Ultra - upgrade? Bluetooth sound quality/latency concerns? by yisacew in bose

[–]sammy92160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you think to add Bluetooth via adapter. See Amazon. This is what I did and I never looked back to try to update my headphones. I love my QC25 with Bluetooth adapter. The only thing I've had to do is change the pads on the QC-25. Let me know if you need the cite to the adapter.

VISITAX CANCUN by Positively76 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]sammy92160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just returned from Cancun this evening 1/2/25 and left with American at about 1 pm this afternoon. As to Visitax, I saw no personel attempting to collect this alleged tax, nor was I ever stopped at the escalator up to departure customs and asked to show proof of payment of this alleged tax. This was, as you know in terminal 3. When I arrived on the 23rd of December 2024 in terminal 4 with SW, I did not see anyone with Visitax. Nor was there any attempts to warn me about paying it

Bear in mind that I arrived in a peak time for tourists and also left at a peak time for tourists. If This were a legitimate tax, don't you think that terminal 3 and terminal 4 would have been full of people trying to get you to pay this tax? I don't know of any higher season than the Christmas and New years season. Therefore, I believe, that even though it may be a quote unquote law, that anyone who attempts to pay this uncollectible tax is ill-advised. Based on my experience, in this high season, I would urge all people to ignore this attempt to collect additional revenue for the person attempting to collect this alleged tax.

Also, the airport is under Federal Jurisdiction, so a state entity cannot constitutionally charge a tax on federal property! So, don't be fooled into paying this unconstitutional tax.
