$1M. I could live off for the rest of my life with this number here in Mexico. Simpler life, side on projects, maybe doing open source, not worring too much about the money.

Being in Central America, yes some expenses are lower, but the additional security requirements seems like they could add up. I don't think it'd be out of the question to need $50K+ a year for a good multi-person 24/7 security detail.

Plus as the upper class stays that way, it seems living in good spots starts costing as much as US cities. Even going to the movies, just my wife and I, can easily hit $100.

Where in Mexico would you recommend? And is this for someone who speaks Spanish, or a true gringo?
Whats the rent/own situation?
Where in Mexico are you?
