    Can someone retire on$1,000 social security. I also can rent my house out in the USA for $1,400. Or could I buy a house there and retire on $1,000 a month

    • Mariana Lange says

      Living on $1000 USD a month in Mexico isn’t impossible. But you will be limited on where you can find rentals, grocery shopping, and everyday life expense. Not to mention healthcare if you were to need it.
