I think the problem is being able to find work there without in-demand skills to get an employer to sponsor a work visa.

I know someone who moved to Mexico and lived off their social security money. They lived pretty well, but they had trouble dealing with social security remotely and their benefits were cut off. Even in the wealthyish expat community they were in they couldn't find enough off the books work to live.
