Living in Vallarta (or anywhere in Mexico) can be super cheap or very expensive. It’s up to each person to choose what is a real necessity for them and what kind of life they really want to live. Some people move here simply because it’s trendy and they are financially able to do so without considering cost of living, they tend to end up not saving too much. Then there are people who love Vallarta, and a huge part of their retirement here is the cost of living that could help them stretch their retirement savings. People who believe Vallarta is expensive are those who expect to live in Mexico but experience it like an American, meaning they want to change countries but not cultures. It can be expensive to do that. If you can live in Vallarta and adapt some to the way of living in Mexico then it’s very cheap.Hope that helps :)
