My husband, daughter and I would like to expore moving to Mexico, need to know?

My husband and I just visited Mexico for our official "honeymoon" that we had never been able to have when we go married 20 yrs ago. My husband has been his own self-employed business owner since I met him. He has done well supporting a family of 5. Our two oldest children are over 18. We have one child home with us. When we got back from Mexico we longed to be back. We have been very frustrated with the current economy here in central USA. We got the shaft financially and not supported a few years ago as we took everything we had to open a business/restaurant in the newly renovated downtown in our home town. Our city gov. helped the "bigger" guys with all the money and shunned us to the point we lost IT ALL! Chapter 7 bankruptcy just helped some. We lost our house and all savings. It took us 3 years after the filing to even "get out of the country" for a week. We want a fresh start but I don't believe it is here in the USA anymore... maybe 20 yrs and back 40 yrs from that but not now. I have lost all hope in my local and federal gov. I have been the patriotic..support our troops... flag waving citizen but I feel it has been a lost cause!!! I would be willing to explore the option of moving out of here but I need more info from "real" people who have made this move. I am willing to learn customs and language. I do some French/Italian as I had wanted to visit those countries at one time. I have Italian heritage as well as my husband. I do not think we can afford to move to Italy. My husband has many skill in the construction industry. I would have to figure out something for earning money there such as "internet marketing" as that is world wide and not just Mexico. I would much rather give taxes to Mexico than a country that has not been very encouraging for ordinary citizens as myself and husband to own land and be given support when trying to open our own business. Even in the construction industry, my husband has been busting his in the lame economy..thanks to the Upper cusp of our society who decide to lay-off employees and then driven into the "construction" industry to support themselves and in turn pulls my husband's business down! Yes you can hear the agitation in my words but I'm discouraged and frustrated. It also hurts because I have been so patriotic and proud as a US citizen so much I wanted to be an American History professor at one time... not feeling that proud anymore! I welcome any advice, good and not so good! thank you for responding
