Auto deposits to Mexican banks by jim&nyna

How do we handle US Social Security and pension deposits while living in Mexico? Can we open a local bank account without residency status? We'd like to use pesos and avoid any fees on transferring from dollars to pesos.

I use PayPal heavily. I don't use their credit card. I have to say, PayPal has made my life easier. I can transfer money easily from them to my two bank accounts immediately. I also use PayPal for most of my online purchases. A lot less chance ... Read More

If your husband does not have a permanent resident card for US probably should forget it. Can't imagine it would be easy for your husband to get approval to cross the border. Read More

Real Estate in Mexico Is NOT Cheaper?? by 4theloveofsun

For those of you who own property please correct me if you think I'm looking at this in negative light, or not seeing the "big" picture when it comes to buying a home in Mexico. The cost of living in Mexico is much better, no question ...
