My husband and I left our stable income of over $200,000 and moved to Mexico. I've never had so much freedom over my life — it's a blessing.
Tired of chasing the American dream, Bianca Ramos and her husband moved to Mexico in 2024. They both earned six figures in the US, but since moving to Mexico they've downsized their life. Since the move, Ramos has more time to spend with her children and feels less stressed. This as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with 36-year-old Bianca Ramos about moving from the US to Mexico. The following has been edited for length and clarity. My husband and I are both Mexican-American. In our culture, we were taught to put our heads down and work hard to make a name for ourselves. We both made six figures, so our household income was over $200,000, but I don't know if we were really happy. My father-in-law moved to America so my husband and his siblings could build a better life. When my husband and I got married in 2018, our aim was to keep pursuing the American dream by moving up the corporate ladder. But we were stressed and exhausted. It felt like no matter how hard we worked, it would never be enough to meet our American dream. In 2024, we moved our family to Mexico. We're earning less money and downsized our lifestyle, but I have more time with my kids and get to redefine what success means to me. It's been worth it. I started to struggle with the idea of the American dream In the US, I pursued a career in HR, focusing on inclusion and diversity. My husband worked in sales. Before kids, all I thought about was moving up the corporate ladder. I had a vision to be a VP of HR. We bought a four-bedroom house in Austin. He drove a Tundra, and I drove an Audi. A lot of our money was spent on paying the nanny for our two kids. I felt pressure to keep upgrading our lives: a bigger house, nicer cars, and more things, because that's what I thought success was. Every upgrade meant working harder and losing time with my kids. We initially struggled to have children. We finally had our son in 2021 and daughter in 2022. Having my son completely shifted my values. Time with my children felt more important than working in a corporate job to afford more stuff. We decided to leave the US Although I worked remotely in the US, back-to-back meetings made spending time with my kids difficult. Around the same time, I also started thinking more about my identity as a Mexican-American. We began to think moving to Mexico could help our kids understand more about their cultural identity. In 2022, my husband and I started talking about leaving America. We spent two years having long conversations about moving. We cut back on our finances, started saving, and got our documentation for moving to Mexico. We slowly sold our things, including both of our cars, and put our house up for rent. We both handed in our resignations and moved to Mexico in August 2024. Telling our families was difficult. My husband's family left Mexico to come here, so sitting them down and saying we were moving back was terrifying. We were afraid they'd feel like we were failing them. We've made sacrifices financially My husband, who dabbled in day trading before the move to Mexico, has decided to pursue it full-time. His pay is less predictable, but the flexible hours mean he can spend more time with us. When I resigned from my job, my company offered me the option to move to a part-time, remote role with them. Now, I have the flexibility to focus on my family while also pursuing content creation. My ultimate goal is to build an online community for people who want more freedom and balance in their lives. We make $2,400 from renting out our house in the States, but our professional incomes are less than they were in the US. Both of our businesses are in their infancy, but we have a big vision for our future. We don't consume just to consume anymore. In the States, I enjoyed interior design and filling my house with stuff, but in Mexico, my kids share a room and the decorations don't match like they used to. Having everything looking pristine is no longer important or financially realistic. While most things are less expensive in Mexico than in the States, branded shoes and clothing are more expensive here. We live in a two-bedroom condo in Playa del Carmen, which is smaller than our old home. We pay $1,300 a month for rent, which is less than our monthly mortgage payment. We live a 10-minute walk from the beach, and our kids love sharing a room. It's made me realize we never needed a big house to begin with. I'm redefining success outside the corporate ladder My life's taken a dramatic turn. I have more time to be present with my children because I'm not stressed and always checking my emails. I've never had so much freedom. I'm responsible for creating my own success and pursuing my business dreams. It's a blessing to be able to grab control of my life. In the US, work is always a part of your identity. When you meet new people, the first thing they'll ask is what you do. In Mexico, people work to live instead of living to work. When you meet people, they ask about your family or invite you for a drink. Walking away from my corporate dreams was one of the hardest things I've had to do. I worked so hard to get to where I was, and had more climbing to do. But I'm glad I'm betting on myself and redefining what the future looks like for me and my family.

EU and US automakers both lose big in latest tariff deal
Is it possible for both sides to lose a trade war? The question is worth asking on Monday after President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. has reached a trade deal with the European Union. The good news is that after six months of uncertainty, car manufacturers in Europe know exactly how much they will have to pay for the foreseeable future, though the mercurial leader of the U.S. could also change the terms of the agreement at any time. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Also, the 15% tariff rate is a significant decline from the 27.5% auto and auto parts tariff German automakers have been paying for months. But on the flip side, the 15% tariff is six times the historical rate our once close economic ally used to pay. Related: Another automaker is forced to shift strategy due to tariffs "Even a 15% tariff rate will have immense negative effects on export-oriented German industry," said Wolfgang Niedermark, a member of Germany's BDI federation industrial group, according to The Guardian. The German Association of the Automotive Industry says that while the deal is a positive development (President Trump had threatened 30% tariffs), the 15% tax is still a burden. "One thing is also clear: the U.S. tariff of 15%, including for automotive products, will cost the German automotive industry billions annually and will burden them," VDA President Hildegard Müller said. On Monday, German automaker Audi, Volkswagen's (VLKAY) luxury arm, detailed the tariffs' costs so far and addressed what it will look like post-tariff deal. Image source: Stollarz/AFP via Getty Images On Monday, Audi lowered its full-year guidance after reporting that it lost $1.5 billion due to tariff expenses in the first half of the year. Now, the company expects full-year revenue between 65 billion euros and 70 billion euros ($76 billion and $82 billion) with gross margins between 5% and 7%, compared to its previous margin range of 7% and 9%. Despite reporting a 6% decline in first-half sales, Audi reported revenue of 32.6 billion euros ($37.9 billion), a 5.3% year-over-year increase. "The situation continues to be very challenging. In addition to intense competitive pressure, the drastically increased U.S. import tariffs and expenses for Audi restructuring measures have impacted financial performance in the first half of the year," said Audi CFO Jürgen Rittersberger. Related: Elon Musk has a simple solution for Tesla's problems in Europe Audi delivered just 99,000 vehicles in North America in the first half (excluding Mexico), a 9% year-over-year decline "due to the challenging economic conditions and the delayed impact of the current model initiative in this sales region," the company said. Overall, Audi reported deliveries of 783,531 in the first half, down from 832,957 a year ago. While the tariffs have been nothing but a pain for European manufacturers, U.S. builders were supposed to get a leg up. CEOs from all three U.S. Big 3 autos (Ford, GM, Stellantis) praised the tariffs for "evening the playing field," as GM CEO Mary Barra put it. But now that those duties are being lowered, so are the protections U.S. carmakers have been clamoring for. In May, as it appeared that the U.S. was nearing a trade deal with the UK that would drop their tariffs, the American Automotive Policy Council raised concerns. "The U.S. automotive industry is highly integrated with Canada and Mexico; the same is not true for the U.S. and the UK. We are disappointed that the administration prioritized the UK ahead of our North American partners," AAPC President Matt Blunt said. "Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA-compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts. This hurts American automakers, suppliers, and auto workers." The Big 3 now has a similar problem with EU competitors, as their 15% duties pale in comparison to the 25% duties U.S. manufacturers have to pay to get their cars from their Canadian and Mexican plants.
