Age of Consent vs Age of Majority

=============================================

Greetings Gentlemen,

The Age of Consent is the age in which girls can participate in consensual, non-commercial sex with their teen-age boyfriend without said teen-age boyfriend being charged with statutory rape.

However, the Age of Consent is irrelevant to the members of this forum.

What you need to focus on is the Age of Majority, which among other things is the age in which they can vote, get married, enlist in the military, and participate in commercial sex activities.

Please exercise caution and govern yourself accordingly.

Thanks,

Jackson

In late December, Kathy Machir called Marcela Zavala Taylor, her banker of nine years at Mexico's Monex Casa de Bolsa, to get cash for contractors building her retirement home in San Miguel de Allende. Typically, Zavala would wire money or dispatch her assistant, Juan, on his motorcycle with an envelope full of pesos. Monex, with $5. 2 billion in assets and operations in the USA, was woven into the lives of Machir and the 10,000 other Americans who've moved to San Miguel de Allende.

The transfer didn't happen. Juan didn't show, Zavala didn't return calls, and Kathy and Jim Machir discovered that their nest egg was gone. When the Machirs and other San Miguel expatriates met with Monex officials in early January, the bankers told some of them that about $40 million was missing from as many as 158 accounts, many belonging to English-speaking Americans. A dozen people interviewed by Bloomberg News say that bank statements Zavala sent them purporting to show full accounts were apparently falsified. Most say the bank has told them little since they filed complaints, and some say Monex tried to settle for far less than the balances owed. When they told us we had 6 pesos or 32 ¢ in our accounts, I just felt sick to my stomach, Kathy Machir says. Since then, they have not dealt with us in good faith.

. . A notarized letter that Karger's attorney sent to top Monex executives on April 15 lists 12 allegations of fraud, including transferring money to people whom the depositors didn't know, making unauthorized investments, and changing account login information. If a relatively low-level employee can go into your account, change your email address for notifications, change your password, redirect deposits, withdrawals, and wire transfers, Karger says, then you have a kindergarten-level security system safeguarding tens of millions of dollars.

Hello all,

I'll be in Mexico for about the next year. I have no experience with the hobby outside of the states. What are some good resources for ads? I'll be in the Cordoba area. Any info is appreciated.

"And you only need to show a monthly income of about $1,300. But the real winner is Mexico's permanent visa. You have to show a slightly higher income"

$1,553 and $2,588 last time I checked, and they will also accept assets in lieu of income: $25,880 for the four year and $105,523 for the permanent.

Mexico also offers easy residence for North Americans—if it didn't, how could the nearly one million USA Citizens who live there do it? With a visitor permit, you can spend nearly six months in the country: plenty of time to suss out great retirement spots like Tulúm and San Miguel de Allende. If you want to stay longer, Mexico's residence visas are extremely popular and straight-forward.

"You can get a temporary resident visa that's valid for up to four years," says IL Mexico Editor Glynna Prentice. "And you only need to show a monthly income of about $1,300.

"But the real winner is Mexico's permanent visa. You have to show a slightly higher income—about $2,100 a month. But you can get a permanent visa right from the get-go—you don't need a temporary visa first. It's a one-time application process, and the visa is valid indefinitely. And with either residence visa, those aged 60 or over can get a pensioner's card and qualify for discounts from 5% to 50% on a whole range of goods and services. ".

I live in the Gulf area in the United States. I've been doing all of my mongering in Germany FKK clubs. I'm thinking about switching the scene to Mexico since it's much closer and more convenient. Can the local tell me where is the best place to go? When I say best, I'm referring to the quality of women, both in terms of looks and service levels. I actually put more emphasis on looks. Also what about prices. What should a newbie to Mexico expect? Thanks for the response.

All those beach towns are way too fucking hot for my pink Irish ass. I like the central highlands. San Luis Potos is nice, a good size, not too big nor too small, about 5500 feet in elevation IIRC, not too many narcos. BTW here are the latest income / asset requirements for a retiree visa:

Temporary: $25,880 in assets or $1,553 in verifiable monthly income.

Permanent: $105,523 in assets or $2,588 in verifiable monthly income.

It looks like a nice place. I haven't seen any decent reports on the place. Any lady action there?

Yes Senor Dickhead who is one of my favorite posters on the forum because of his vast knowledge is correct about the heat in Puerto Vallarta. For me personally, the heat does not bother me. It starts getting hot in May, and will continue to be hot and humid here until mid November. July and August is also the rainy season, and we generally get a late afternoon rain around 4 pm that at times can be classified as a down pour. Despite the heat, in my opinion it is the greatest city in the world for a variety of reasons, which is why I have maintained a home here in Puerto Vallarta for over 20 years. It is a big city, but has a small city atmosphere to it. If you want me to elaborate more send me a personal message.

Another reason I like Guadalajara is driving or taking a bus to somewhere else is fairly easy. I made the drive to Tequila twice, and driving to other areas, or even Puerto Plata isn't too unreasonable. Puerto Plata happens to be one of the few places I haven't been though. Driving a car in GDL isn't too hard. Lots of decent towns within driving distance. No beach, or fishing trips in GDL though. That's where Puerto Plata has GDL beat.

I second the Guadalajara recommendation. I lived there for six months. Puerto Vallarta is pretty fucken A hot too. I think Puebla might work for a lot of people too. High altitude cuts the heat and the narcos are not too entrenched.

Any reason for choosing Meridia? It's an OK place, safe, has a place like a Walmart, has some mongering and not far from the beach, but I can't think of much else to do there. It's not far from lots of the old ruins, and has a nice central downtown area. But, it gets really hot there for many months. I noticed my hotel there was the fastest I seen in Mexico though, except one of the VIP lounges at the Mexico City airport.

I don't think $500 a month is going to give you a happy, fulfilled life.

If I had to choose a city to live in for awhile, I'd choose Guadalajara myself. People in Guadalajara are friendly, and seem to be hip, and up to date with current trends of the world. Guadalajara even has a Best Buy electronics store. The only one I seen in Mexico. I'm sure they probably have more. I've even seen a Cheesecake Factory at the same shopping center as Best Buy. I think Walmart is in the same area. There are lots of beautiful historical sites to see, and lots of 'massage' places.

I just wish Guadalajara had something like Adelitas and Hong Kong bar. Guadalajara has many direct flights to the USA though.

I have had a home in Puerto Vallarta for over 20 years so I have a good knowledge of all areas of the country, and your post above is absolutely correct, especially the part about Meridian being hot. The heat is torture in this city. I also have to agree with you about 500 dollars a month, as it cannot be done unless you want to live in complete poverty on the verge of being living on the streets. My recommendation even though it is bias is to come to Puerto Vallarta as it offers everything you would need, and housing can be had for 150 to 200 dollars a month in areas just outside the city of Puerto Vallarta. If I can be of help to you send me a personal message, but you have to find a way to increase your budget to 1000 dollars a month or so to have some type of comfort.

I keep looking around on all the expat sites."Live in Thailand for $500 a month". One thing I am looking for on these forums is a place to stay. A long term hotel or inexpensive apartment, and where they are! The online classifieds just show the high dollar places. Specifically, I am looking at Merida, Mexico. Where. And how do you find affordable housing? The stuff online is just as expensive as the States.
