San Miguel de Allende Is Beautiful… But Is It Affordable?

San Miguel de Allende is known for its colorful streets, beautiful architecture, and vibrant expat scene, but it also has a reputation for being one of the more expensive places in Mexico. After spending a full month living here as retired slow travelers, we tracked every dollar we spent to see whether San Miguel de Allende is actually affordable for long term travel and retirement. In this video, we share our real budget breakdown including groceries, dining out, housing, transportation, and everyday expenses. We talk honestly about what surprised us, what made staying on budget challenging, and what helped keep costs under control. If you are considering slow travel, retirement abroad, or living in San Miguel de Allende, this video offers a realistic look at what daily life really costs without the hype. We are Rick and Daphne from Retired Nomad Adventures. We are retired, sold everything, and now travel the world one month at a time while tracking our real costs to see where this lifestyle truly works.
