Thanks, I would like to hear what your in-laws have to say.

My husband and I lived in Mexico for a year and were thinking about staying but his retirement check was impossible to process through Mexican banks, in fact everything from renting to parking was an extreme problem, not to speak of telephone. You had to bribe everybody for everything.

"La Mordida" is the eternal grease that makes Mexico work. It is a real shame that Mexico's political heritage did not include the Magna Carta, Rule of Law, protection of private property as in English Law. Instead they have institutionalized corruption. Just when you think things are getting better, more s--- happens.

No rule of law. No private property rights. I've visited Mexico lots of times but would never invest a nickle.
