For all the time we spend craving leisure time, discussing it, dreaming about it and planning for it, few among us use it well.
This book is unlike any book you�ve read about moving to or living in Mexico. It doesn�t focus on the wheres, the whats and the hows. Instead, you�re invited to appreciate�up close and personally�the experience of retiring on Lake Chapala�s beautiful north shore.
Now, cozy up in a comfortable chair with this book and share a margarita with couples who have found a way to fill their retirement years with passion, purpose, and potential. Listen as singles discuss how they live comfortably in Mexico on just their Social Security. Visit with retirees who have discovered the joy of making a difference in their community.
You�ll laugh, cheer and cry with these gutsy gringos as they transition from their structured working lives to rewarding retirements in Mexico. They tell it like it is�the rewards and the frustrations.
The boomers interviewed between these pages reveal the good, the bad, and the ugly about living at Lake Chapala. They talk about moving to Lakeside, the real costs of living, security, crime, health care options, community, what they miss from back home, and their answers to that oft-asked question from friends and loved ones: �But what do you do all day?�
When you think about it, reinventing any segment of your life is all about choice, curiosity, and courage. My hope is that this book will describe an alternate choice for successfully living your retirement years, assuage much of your curiosity about retiring in the Lake Chapala region of Mexico and introduce you to folks who have had the courage to take that big leap of faith.
