Is Puerto Vallarta still affordable in 2026? After living in Mexico for 5 years, the reality of the “Mexico Dream” has changed—here is the honest truth about costs, and lifestyle.

Hello hello again! It’s been 5 years since I first shared my journey of moving to Puerto Vallarta. My 1-year update helped over 70,000 of you plan your move, but the PV of 2021 is not the same as the PV of 2026.

In this video, I’m breaking down the 2026 cost of living, the construction boom in neighbourhoods like Versalles and 5 de Diciembre, medical costs and how I truly feel after living in Puerto Vallarta for 5 years.

Are you planning a move to Mexico this year? Drop your biggest concern in the comments—I’m replying to as many as I can!
