Realistically this will be our last move. It's either pack up and go or hunker down and stay.

Healthcare in Mexico is a lot cheaper than the US and out of pocket probably a bit more than here. So that makes it a bit more palatable. Like Tac suggests, I need to do some research.

I totally appreciate the out loud pondering. That's why I asked for input.

We lived there for four years on less money, so we can afford it. It'll just be an adjustment from living here. A lot to consider.

Both places are dangerous. Medellin probably more so. I only mention a fraction of what goes on here. We don't go out at night because it's so risky.
Cost of living according to numbeo is kind of shocking: Medellin is 50% cheaper. San Miguel comes with a price because it's such a popular place for expats. It's more about the culture and color that's lacking here. And the food. It's the absolute worst here. I can't stand Colombian food any more. It's awful.
We also talk about moving to a different Medellin neighborhood, one that's more Colombian. That would give us a new perspective. But this is pretty much nothing more than a modern city without a lot of charm regardless of the barrio. It's got everything we need, except neither one of us likes it here any more. Staying here is primarily about the healthcare. But I see a lot of dull days ahead if we stay. The other Mr will simply not be social here. He's given up almost entirely. I think it will be different in San Miguel. If not for him, then for me. It's just a more social place.
