I'm curious why most ex-pats have moved to Mexico. Is it primarily because of the savings over living in the US or Canada or Europe? Or is it the lifestyle that motivates you?

I was first motivated to consider retiring to Mexico because of the lower cost of living. (I am woefully unprepared for retirement, savings-wise, yet I do have significant equity in my home.) Having read 5 books on the subject, I'm wondering if the savings are truly significant, or if it's really more about the friendly, stress-free way of life.

Muchas gracias for your comments.
