Living Well
Mr. Luboff has written all about how he was able to retire to a small artist community on the West coast of Mexico. He warns about the potential pitfalls that could get in the way of retirees from the North as well as providing insights to the wonders that Mexico holds in store. There is information to assist in relocation as well as how to prepare for the different lifestyle. However, it is lacking as Mr. Lubber really only speaks about living in the region where he does.This is an excellent book if you are researching places to retire on an international level. However, don't plan on using it as a step-by-step guide for your move. Many of the websites and other contact information have fallen out-of-date as well as the information regarding technological advances in the country. However, way of life has changed little over time.

Thoroughly Researched. Excellent information.
Ken Luboff has done a 1st class job in laying out the realities of moving to Mexico. He is without bias, is realistic and clearly thoroughly understands Mexico and her people. Anyone contemplating moving to Mexico, or just trying it out, should read this book. It is expansive, sensible as well as fun. My advice is: don't go to Mexico without this book in your suitcase. From Mexico's tulmultuos history to dealing with the locals, shopping, health and eating out, Luboff has covered it all. I recommend this book even for people going to Mexico for a vacation. For those moving there, or thinking about it, this book is a must. A book that is invaluable in any reference list, and a book that is a great deal of fun to read.

VERY DISAPOINTED
Like most books on retiring in Mexico this book really is no different. I faxed over 30 listings included in his book and all weren't delivered as the fax numbers were wrong. I wanted info on Spanish speaking school, where they were, how to contact them, and the costs. Non of this information was available. They talked about inexpensive rentals but no info on who to contact. The title sounds great...but really gives little help to one who plans on retiring in Mexico. Very disapointed.
