The Fun Side of the Wall: Baby Boomer Retirement in Mexico

by Travis Luther

Overview

The Fun Side of the Wall is not just a book about retiring in Mexico. Much in the style of Malcolm Gladwell and Gregory Berns the book is a critique on the way retirement has been commodified in the United States. This push for commercially structured senior living has left some Baby Boomers in search of more authentic surroundings. In Mexico, they've found something special - authentic community and a true sense of purpose and belonging.

I really enjoyed it! The book was so much more than I thought it would be. It's not just about retiring in Mexico, but also a societal view of retirement as a whole and what is important to Baby Boomers. An excellent read!

I picked up this book because of my longtime interest in retiring abroad, but as soon as I started it, I realized it would be good for anyone who is interested in the state of the US retirement industry in general. It's one of the few books I've found that talks about trends in the US that are negatively affecting baby boomers, including ageism, the high cost of health care, and the one-size-fits-all approach to senior living.
