Tren Maya Affordable Retirement Tour Planning: Which Yucatán City Could Work on Social Security?

Can you retire in Mexico on Social Security + a modest nest egg? In 2026 I’m riding Mexico’s Tren Maya 🚆 to test real costs, healthcare, safety, and daily life across the Yucatán. In this video I’m sharing my Tren Maya retirement tour planning framework—how I’ll compare Yucatán cities for cost, safety, healthcare access, and lifestyle on Social Security. City-by-city results and on-the-ground costs are coming next.

🌎Starting in January 2026, I’m traveling to find and profile retirement destinations overseas where a “Geography Pension” (or GeoPension, for short) can actually work—using geography so Social Security + modest savings delivers a more affordable, calmer standard of living.
