Mexico's Inherent Affordability is Key for Snowbirds

Mexico, it's easy to convince yourself to make this your 2nd home. Canadian snowbirds can stay up to 6 months with no visa, the affordability factor is a huge plus, weather's great, lots of English speaking expats and snowbirds, real Mexican cuisine is amazing, and life goes by more slowly here. The cost of living in Mexico is much lower than life here in Canada. In general Mexico's cost of living averages about 46% lower than the USA.
