Puerto Vallarta Rentals Blog

Can you really live in Puerto Vallarta (Bucerias) Mexico on $1,500 a month?

In this video, I sit down with Pat and Bill — a retired Canadian couple who have been coming to Mexico for over 20 years — to see exactly how they make it work.

From daily expenses and groceries to housing, transportation, and lifestyle choices, they break down what it actually costs to live in Bucerías (just north of Puerto Vallarta) on a fixed income.

They’re not living lavishly… but they’re not struggling either. This is real life — and for many people, it might be more possible than you think.

If you’ve ever thought about retiring in Mexico, living abroad, or stretching your money further, this is a story worth watching.

Retirement doesn’t have to be boring.
Sometimes it’s building an app at 56. Sometimes it’s yelling at markets. Sometimes it’s feeding horses…
But it’s never dull.
