Overview: "It's not certain how many U.S. retirees are living in Mexico - a 2004 study puts the number between 500,000 and 600,000 - but the foundation and other researchers say an increase is likely as more boomers settle into their golden years and find Mexico an affordable alternative. Almost half the retirees living in coastal areas are getting by comfortably on less than $1,000 per month, said the report, which cites the growth of real estate projects targeted at retirees as proof that aging Americans are flocking south of the border."
