Seaside Serenity in Retirement for a Former Cop
Retired Chicago area Police Officer Tim Hasty trades his badge for beachside bliss, and we've got the exclusive on his tale of transformation. He and his wife Jane's leap into the unknown, settling into the heart of Mexico, proves that the expat life is not just a dream for the few, but a tangible reality for those bold enough to chase it. Their journey from the safety of all-inclusive resorts to the enchanting life among cenotes and vibrant communities is peppered with skepticism from friends and the discovery of unexpected local treasures. This episode is a passport to the possibilities that await when you embrace a new culture with open arms. Eventually Tim finds his groove in Mezcal and Mole experiences that he guides at Lol-ha, a nearby restaurant popular with visitors and Expats alike.
As we begin our series, the Hasty's tale is a reminder of the rich tapestry that is expat life. Our discussion extends beyond Tim's transition to retirement, offering insights into the financial savvy needed for such a venture, the linguistic leaps required, and the cultural nuances that color everyday life. We are incredibly thankful for the flood of engagement and stories from our listeners, who, like Tim and Jane, have found their own sense of 'home' across the globe. Stay tuned as we continue to share the wisdom and wanderlust of those who've charted their unique international courses.

to the all-inclusives I think are great. I think it's a good entry, coming in, going to the all-inclusives and then, after you've done that a few times, maybe venture out, maybe get on a collectivo or take a cab. And once we did that and went to a cenote and saw some of the area, you're like, okay, nothing happened, I'm still alive.
Speaker 2:Welcome to X-PATs Like Us, a co-production with me, vita Margarita, exploring the world of US X-PAT life in Mexico. In each episode we'll meet new people and hear their stories. We'll also learn more about X-PAT life and get a few tips on everything from making your move to settling in, to living your dreams and, most of all, having fun. Let's dive in. Thanks for joining us. I'm Bob Bussie. Since taking early retirement and moving to Mexico full-time two and a half years ago, sherry and I have learned a lot about international living. Besides the usual challenges of setting up a new life in a new place and a different culture and even a different language, we were, and continue to be, surprised at the number of outstanding people that we've become friends with. Each X-PAT has a story to tell about how they got here and how they adapted to life in Mexico. Today we are talking with our friend and neighbor, tim Hasty. Tim and his wife, jane are among the first people that we met when we arrived, and shortly after that we attended an event called Mezcal and Mole, where Tim was running the show. We'll talk more about that later, but first things first. Hi, tim, and welcome to X-PATs Like Us.
Speaker 1:Bob, how you doing. Thanks for having me. I didn't realize you had such a radio voice. It's great. I'm very impressed.
Speaker 2:People tell me I don't hear it, but people tell me that.
Speaker 1:Very professional.
Speaker 2:Tell me about your life before you retired.
Speaker 1:My previous life. Okay, my previous life. I was a police officer, born and raised in Chicago, on the south side of Chicago specifically, and my wife and I married 32 years, high school sweethearts. We got two kids, decided to retire at age 50. She thought I was absolutely crazy. A lot of people did when you're a cop, they want you to stay in and collect that full pension. That's what a lot of guys do. But I wanted to get out early, wanted to do something different, and we decided to pack up and actually move to Mexico, which people thought we were even crazier.
Speaker 2:You know I feel that same way. There's still people that I know back in the states that still think we're crazy for moving here. But you know that's part of the purpose of this whole podcast is to explain that's not a crazy thing, it's a really good thing.
Speaker 1:Now, I mean, some people think we're smart. Now you know, we, you know something's coming because it's got.
Speaker 2:The crazy is in the United.
Speaker 1:States right now. Yeah, a lot of the crazies up there now.
Speaker 2:So what brought you specifically to Mexico?
Speaker 1:Well, that's funny too. I got a lot of stories, bob, just so you know. I guess that's good, so that was a good story. So we were sitting in the den on the computer and I was on Zillow or Redfin I can't remember looking at houses. You know that in states that didn't collect, that didn't tax my pension. So I was looking at Texas and part of the Texas bled into Mexico. So now I'm next you know I'm looking at houses in Mexico and started looking at home there. And I turned my wife and said what about retiring in Mexico? Because we've been coming here for years with the all inclusive and stuff. Back 30 years ago, 32 years ago, we honeymooned in Mexico, her dad's from Mexico. So we had a lot of we've been here a bunch of times. And she looked at me and said, okay, so here we are.
Speaker 2:That's nice, I you know it's. It's good to have an agreeable partner that wants to take part in these misadventures or these adventures, wherever they must be. You decided to move to a foreign country. Describe that to me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was a big. You know it was a big deal and you know you start off watching all the shows international living, house hunters, international or whatever it is, Mexico, life and everything looks great. But you know moving to a foreign country was, was a big deal. The language, the currency, the customs, all that stuff. Being away from your family is a big deal. You know, like I said, I got two kids, 26 and 28. So they're still relatively young. You know my wife's got family there and we got I got family there. So it was a big deal. But you know you have to adjust and I look at it like coming here and adjusting and fitting in is half the fun.
Speaker 2:We've had two years of fun doing that, you know adjusting to everything, to adjusting to it. And there's always something new to adjust to.
Speaker 1:And here specifically, I really, I really fit in. I feel, I mean, I, I just I really enjoyed here. We're going back to Chicago December for for for Christmas, and I'm looking like going back there is like I'm you know, it's like it's like now I'm going to the foreign country, going back to to the States, just like it. Here are the people here. You know, we, we, we came for a lot of reasons the weather. You come for the economy, because you know everybody thinks, you know, mexico was so cheap, which we probably talk about later. But we, we, we came for all those reasons but we've, we've stayed for the people. The local people here are so nice and but just the, I think there's a big, you know the mind, cultural influence here, which is something I didn't expect and I just really really enjoy it.
Speaker 2:So, in your view, what are some of the most important things people should think about before making the move?
Speaker 1:I think about. First of all, I would say, make sure it's someplace that you enjoy. Make sure it's. I would say, don't just do it for money reasons, for the economy. I think a lot of people do do that and once the honeymoon phase is over, then it settles in and you're in a country that if you can't relate to it or you don't enjoy it, it could be an issue. So I would say, really move somewhere. Like I couldn't picture myself moving to Greece or moving, I don't know, maybe even Italy, probably not, because I just don't have that connection there. I feel like I have a connection here and so that makes it a lot easier.
Speaker 2:What do you think gives you that connection here?
Speaker 1:Well, I think, just coming here for years, vacationing here and getting to know it it's so close and my wife, her dad being from Mexico and then her eventually becoming a citizen here, we just kind of have that connection.
Speaker 2:Is her dad still with us or is he?
Speaker 1:No, he passed a few years ago, sad to say, he would have loved to see us be here and she got her citizenship. A big reason because of him. She would just, he would love that because she used to come, we used to come in vacation here in all occluses, but she would come with her dad because he was a photographer, like an amateur photographer, and they would just travel through Mexico on buses and just all throughout Mexico and take pictures and stuff. When she was younger and eventually she took my son and did that and it was great, and so that's a big reason why.
Speaker 2:And we kind of felt the connection the same way too, from just coming down here on vacation. So many times we met people down here while we were on vacation and realized, hey, look at these people, they live here and look how happy they are. That's a big thing too, yeah.
Speaker 1:Coming in and going to the all-incluses I think are great. I think it's a good entry point. Coming in, going to the all-inclusives and then, after we've done that a few times, maybe venture out, maybe get on a collectivo or take a cab. And once we did that and went to a cenote and saw some of the area, you're like, okay, nothing happened, I'm still alive, I survived. It's not that bad, you can do that. Maybe kind of get your feet wet and it's a great place and just so different. I kind of like being here is like being in the States back in the 70s. Everything is kind of laid back. It's not so heavily regulated, I mean, sometimes some parts I guess it is in some respect. For the most part I just feel like free here.
Speaker 2:I feel the same way and I see examples of that all the time, where it's just not, it just doesn't have the same over-regulated stuff that you.
Speaker 1:Me being a cop for that long. Every single move I made was being judged and documented. And to have this freedom here, I was just man. I just fell in love with it and I call it like. You have big freedoms and little freedoms here. Little freedoms are day-to-day things where you can just drive and I have a tuk-tuk, I take it on the side of the highway and nobody messes with me.
Speaker 2:I could do that in the States. You know what I mean. You could be pulled over instantly. Yeah, and probably flipped off and hunked at and a little bit.
Speaker 1:But, like now, if something big were to happen, like a major accident or something like that, then things could get difficult, maybe Not gonna work. So you're kind of taking, I think, that kind of risk. You know what I mean, but right now it's worth it for me.
Speaker 2:I ride a motorcycle around here and people, even people here, are like are you insane riding a motorcycle on the highway? Yeah, you're right. Knock on wood. Right, it's great so far, yeah.
Speaker 1:As long as you recognize that Right.
Speaker 2:And you're careful about it and aware of your surrounding, but it's fun.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm not getting any younger, so I wanna enjoy my life.
Speaker 2:So what sort of unexpected things that maybe surprised you when you moved here.
Speaker 1:I think really about, like the Mayan culture. I didn't think there was such a Mayan influencer that so many people spoke Mayan here. You know, you get to know the workers, like all the workers at Loja speak Mayan. I don't think a lot of people realize that, and I got an opportunity to through the country club what was Bahia country club at that time, now Tulum country club they offered one of the guys at work here at Eco Bahia, kazimiro, super sweet guy, was giving mine lessons. So I said, hey, you know I was. So I did that for I don't know a couple of weeks and learned a couple of phrases and words and stuff. And now when I'm doing mescalamolia, loja, I can, you know, say a couple of things in my end and they just get a kick out of it.
Speaker 2:Right, absolutely. People always appreciate the efforts to learn those language.
Speaker 1:I think that's the big thing is they appreciate you taking the time to speak. You know much less Spanish to learn a couple of Mayan phrases. They just laugh their butts off.
Speaker 2:It's a great thing, and I have yet to learn my first Mayan words at all, and I'm so busy trying to learn Spanish with everything.
Speaker 1:We'll do one right now. We'll do one right now.
Speaker 2:What's give me a Mayan word Dios Botic, dios Botic, that's it.
Speaker 1:Thank you.
Speaker 2:Okay, you learn that one. I'm gonna use that outside of our condo.
Speaker 1:You'll get so much mileage on that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Dios, boutique Dios boutique. Okay, all right. So one thing that you know. To change the subject a little, one thing new retires often struggle with after and you mentioned the honeymoon stage Of their retirement is finding a sense of purpose was, was that an issue for you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, my first sense of purpose coming down here was to lay on a beach and drink margaritas me too. But you know you can only do that for so long, right. But I needed to decompress. You know, retiring is strange, you know. I mean, one day you're, you're in charge of things and you have you know status and all that stuff. In the next day You're a nobody. At least that's how. I was in the cop world. I retired as a lieutenant, so I'm walking, you know, people call me sir and all that stuff. Next day I'm in shorts and a flip flop and flip flops, you know. And so I had to take a while to just really decompress from that. And then after that, you know, you know, you wake up and you know, and we have a pretty relatively small condo and you know, it's just you and your wife now there you are there's my wife saying there is again. So you got to find something to do, I think you know, and so we took a trip to Wahaka back and I got some dates here. We went to a Haka July 21 just to travel and we did an experience Mascala Moli and I really enjoyed that. And Long story short, now I'm now I'm doing Mascala Moli on the beach in Wahaka. Yeah but I needed a purpose.
Speaker 2:And I feel the same way. I always put it, as you can't sit on the beach and drink margaritas forever A your liver will give out, and B you'll be totally sunburned, and you know, and you just won't, you won't feel like any sense. You have any sense. Yeah, you can't do that for that long yeah so with the Mascala Moli, what tell me about the things you had to learn to be able to put on those seminar? Would you call them seminars or Experiences?
Speaker 1:okay experience. So we went to Wahaka, we did it, fell in love with it, got to know the guy that's running at, daniel Rodriguez, and Then I learned that it's also the school, so it's a Gaby spirits Institute, and so I got back and enrolled in the school, I think in October I'm gonna say October of 21, graduated from that September of 22, and During what? While I was going to school, because the school is online Most of it. You got four, three or three levels at home and then you have to for the fourth level. You have to go to Wahaka for a week and it's pretty intense and Spaduring. While I was going to school, daniel contact me and said, hey, would you be interested in doing tastings with the Mascala Moli? And I was, you know, completely flattered that. He asked me to do that, you know, and I was super excited. So I said, yeah, okay, that sounds great. So I went to actually went Loha. I talked to Carlos, because him and I got to know each other. So I went to Carlos and I said, hey, you know, I got this thing and told him all about it. And Carlos is a wine sommelier and he does tastings as well. There he does Mascala and tequila tastings and I told him what I was doing. He's kind of looked at me and said, okay.
Speaker 2:Boom, there's your retirement purpose right there.
Speaker 1:Could you imagine me doing that in the States? Yeah, yeah, hey.
Speaker 2:I want to sell one a cut of it. You don't have to sign the waiver, yeah, I want, oh yeah, so I signed a simple contract with the owner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a contract. Yeah, so I do have that. But Then we started doing it, put it on Airbnb and the next. You know we're doing events and we're still still doing them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's very cool and I've attended one of those and I'd like to go again one of these. Yeah, we've had a very cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a lot of people have done it a couple times where they bring guests and it really is nice, it's a really good experience, it's really high quality product and it's you know, it gives me a chance, gives people a chance to get to know Mexico, to. There's a lot of history with the. You know tequila and mezcal and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:For people that don't know that might be listening to this tell me what is mezcal versus everybody? Knows tequila is a Mexico thing, sure, but so is mezcal, and what's the difference?
Speaker 1:So very similar, I'd say. The two biggest differences that people can take away is that tequila is made from one agave type the agave bluewebber or azul and mezcal can be made from many different species of agave. The other big differences is the way the agaves are cooked. With tequila, the agaves are cooked, they're steamed, in either big brick ovens or auto-claves, they call them, whereas mezcal is cooked, kind of baked, in an earthen pit and smoked, smoldered. They put bagasso and tarps over it and kind of let it smolder for like three to five days and that's where you can get its kind of smoky flavor from.
Speaker 2:Very cool. So it tastes. I mean, in my mind it tastes a little bit like tequila because of the agave that they have both come from. But to me mezcal tastes has a little bit more of a bite to it or a little bit smokiness to it.
Speaker 1:A little smokiness and due to the fact that it's made, it can be made with different plants. Depending on that plant, it could have a completely different flavor profile, which is a whole draw of mezcal. You know, it gets sucked on of this rabbit hole where you've got so many different types of agaves and little tweaks in the way you distill them or ferment them and get tons of different flavors on it. It can tend to be much more flavorful than tequila. That's why a lot of people, a lot of producers, will age their tequilas to get a different flavor profile out of it. Whereas mezcal is typically not aged, you're going for that plant. Mezcal is all about the plant.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, and tell me about its mezcal and mole. Tell me what mole is. People might not know what that is oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:A lot of people come to the class and they don't even. They don't know what a guava is. You show them that they don't even know where a guava is. A mole is a nahuatl word that actually means sauce, like an. A stick word Means sauce and it's basically a sauce, but it's the base of it. It would be chili peppers, dried chili peppers, and tomatoes and then different spices and things like that, but it's basically a sauce.
Speaker 2:Very good, and you eat this with chicken, or with chicken or pork.
Speaker 1:Anything vegetables, rajas, you know. Peppers. You throw in scrambled eggs, you do anything with it.
Speaker 2:Okay, so if people are coming to the Acomal area, Riviera Maya, how would they find your presentations?
Speaker 1:They can do look up Airbnb experiences, mezcal and mole, okay, and you'll find it. There's a. We do it now, we do it in here. Well, of course they. We do it in Oaxaca. Now we do it here in Acomal or Tulum, because Tulum is municipality technically, and Mexico City San Miguel de Ande, and I think he's starting it now in San Antonio, texas. Oh, branch it off into the states with mezcal and mole Cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks for telling us about that. That's very cool that's, and I can tell that you're kind of passionate about this whole thing.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't do it for the money.
Speaker 2:Yeah right.
Speaker 1:You know I make. You know I make money, you know. I try and have the restaurant make some money. Daniel makes some money. I do it because I love it. I really do love it. It really is a good product and it just you know. What's really cool is you get to meet people from all over the world. It's people from Russia, you get people from Asia, you know all over the states and Canada. So it's a lot of fun. You make a lot of meet, a lot of contacts, and it had a lot of repeat customers and it's just a great way to you know, when I look out and I'm, you know, I'm the beach of Lohan, I'm, you know, I'm just does it get better than I know? My friends think I'm. They don't know what to think.
Speaker 2:Right? Well, it's, and it's a great way to share your passion that you've developed for this and a great way to spend your retirement time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, jane's like you need to get out of the house. You gotta get something to do I have that? Going once in a while around here as well.
Speaker 2:But yes, it's, it's. It's one of the important things when you are thinking about retiring, especially when you retire early. You know if you retire at 70 years old, you're ready to sit around and do nothing. You know a lot of people are, but those of us who retire younger, it's like you're, mentally, you're not prepared to have nothing to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've seen some people that retired super early, like in their 40s, and I don't know, I don't think they're ready.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean, I think you have to be at a certain stage in your life and I'm pretty good at sitting around doing nothing.
Speaker 2:You know, talk to my wife Right.
Speaker 1:I can sit down, you know, playing the computer, play with the cats, go for a walk, workout, have a you know cigar and a little mezcal at night and I'm, I'm good to go. My wife is, you know. You know she's planning everything all the time.
Speaker 2:And if she had her way. I'd be.
Speaker 1:You know, I'd be busier now than than I was when I was working, jonas.
Speaker 2:So you mentioned, the economy here is different. Tell me about what's your experience with that.
Speaker 1:Well, the peso right. So what's the peso today? Probably 17. Something like that so when we moved on here, I think it was in the 20s, so that was a big big deal and I knew that wouldn't last forever. I knew that was good.
Speaker 2:I mean.
Speaker 1:I've been to Mexico when it was like in the 13th, but it does. So it fluctuates a lot and now with everything ever since COVID, everything just seems to be twice as expensive. So the economy here is you're not getting the bang for your buck. But that was a big reason why we moved here. You'd look at that and said, if I'm going to retire on this, on a certain fixed income, I probably couldn't do that in the States.
Speaker 2:That was the same case with us too, so, and it has changed a little bit, but still the cost of living is still relatively.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're still cheaper than it would ever be in the States, yeah absolutely. But that was a big factor. You know that's a big factor for everybody. You know, in retirement, you know you know, unless you're got a side hustle or you're still working from home, you know you got to. You got to budget. You know you're going to have a monthly budget and you got to figure that out. And you know moving to, you know Illinois is not cheap Chicago is not cheap. So we're going to move somewhere else, you know, and, but I'm glad we moved here. But now, if you go throughout Mexico you know you guys have traveled throughout Mexico this area is relatively expensive.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:It's a here in Cabo or top most expensive places Most expensive tourist traps really yeah. Well, that's the industry. Yeah, you know, you go to a hawk. It's a completely different, different animal, much cheaper. You know? Then again, now you'd have to be able to speak Spanish. You'd have to. You know, here you have so much to do, you're never bored here. There's theme parks, there's the beach, there's cenotes, there's tons of restaurants. I mean, it's just bored here.
Speaker 2:The food scene here is insane.
Speaker 1:The food is great.
Speaker 2:I mean, there's a thousand restaurants around here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Pyramids. It's great, I love it. Yeah, so what's the best advice you would give people thinking about moving to Mexico? What's the best advice.
Speaker 1:I would just say do your homework. You know I'm going to give a shout out to Paula Linda Kurzweil from Kuru. Paula Linda, they were the reason I would say I moved here.
Speaker 2:I would say that I feel the same way. I read their stuff and watch their stuff for a couple of years before actually moving here and they really convinced me. Well, and they give you so much information.
Speaker 1:Exactly they asked questions and they had the answers. So do your homework. I would say do your homework and make sure some of you want to go and live, because you know, like we said before, there's a honeymoon phase, you know, and once that honeymoon phase is over, you live here. So you better be, you know, you better really like it here and do your homework and be able to put up with the heat, be able to put up with the cultural differences. And I would say too, advice is try and learn the language.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:I would say you have to be fluent, but you have to attempt.
Speaker 2:You have to know, you have to be able to get by. We've discovered that with traveling to other places in Mexico, people don't speak English like they do here, and I feel it. I'm just to the point where I can get by and my goal is to be fluent, but that's. I'm nowhere close yet.
Speaker 1:Right, right, but you're, you're attempting.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:You know and I think if you can do that you know you can it makes a big difference. You get a different response and I think you have a different quality of life if you can speak the language.
Speaker 2:You're not.
Speaker 1:you're not an outsider looking in all the time and you're not that perpetual tourist Right.
Speaker 2:I don't want to be a perpetual tourist, exactly.
Speaker 1:Get treated like a perpetual tourist with the prices and you go to Tulum and you know, you know there's two prices, right?
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. I want to look for prices.
Speaker 1:I want to. That's why I kind of started learning my, and so, if I could, you know, say that and maybe, okay, this guy you know does live here. He's been here for a while.
Speaker 2:And knowing the language kind of opens up a whole new world of potential friendships. Absolutely, that's a good point.
Speaker 1:So I would say that's another really good point of an important living here is expand your circle of friends, because it's easy to get. You know, I call it like the bubble. When you're first here you know it's great, you meet all these people here and then you know it's always the same people. You want to get out and expand your circle of friends. So now we've got friends that live in Tulum and Cancun and Playa, friends that live in Oaxaca, a friend that lives and you know meeting the local guy. So we had a Mascala Moli tasting at our condo it was from a different producer Got to know him and he brought a guy with them who was a chef up in Cancun, benjamin, and we got to know him and his family and they invited us up to Cancun for Mexican Independence Day and we had chilies and nogadas and that was a great experience. You know what I mean. It was getting out and you know that's a great way to you know, get out and to enjoy Mexico is, you know, through. You know what's better than having a family dinner with locals now at their own home.
Speaker 2:It was great, absolutely, and we're friends now.
Speaker 1:He's a Mascalaero and we, you know, we do things with that and they had a convention at one of the hotels and we went to that and met more producers from Oaxaca. So you know, and that's what's enjoyable is meeting new people. You know, if you can meet locals and get in with with not just you know, you're not just Americans and expats, it really does make it a different level, I think.
Speaker 2:It's a whole new and a much richer experience. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Well, thank you, Tim, for being here. We appreciate your advice and we appreciate your stories. Thanks for having me, Bob. Thanks for joining Xpats Like Us.
