Saturday, June 30, 2012 @ 2:30 PM

 

Having lived in Spain for several years,but then returned to the UK i now have itchy feet for the Sun,sea and Better life style back in Spain..or is it a myth,national media here shouting about the Spanish economy,and money to bail out yet another european country..and this is down to greedy politics and goverments feathering there own nests and saying one thing to the people and doing the exact opposite..right.. We have a right to an easier and less stressful future and should have to scrimp and save to pay the over priced products that we need on a daily basis..its all a load of well dogs doo daas . Living in a warm all year round climate is many peoples dream,but then they save sell there homes and move abroad only to find its not the life they dreamed of ...they quickly keep pulling out of there savings or nest egg,to paga and paga,and will little or no options to replace on a regular basis,this dream that people have had for many years starts getting misty and scary..they have to stick with it,they cannot go home all that got cashed in to make there dream a reality..Oops now what do they do ,little money or little income,ok it may be less expensive to live in Spain ..but now one came to Spain to struggle,Remember that ..(  Vida La Loca ) all there getting is the  loca and on top of that they have not learned little or any Spanish to get employment Ooops again.. So what do people do how do they overcome this major and growing problem ..talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place..

I would be interested in your thoughts and comments..And maybe i have a few ideas that will help..                      Carpe Diem : European

hi, I have always liked the culture and way of thinking in spain, so I decided to coming as an au pair. I came 2 months ago, I have a job and I am learning spanish, so I am happy. I think the "problem" is this people who come to spain and they think it will be the paradise, everything will be cheap and they will be able to be "the kings of spain", and thats is definetly not the truth, over all nowadays, spain is leaving a really hard situation, and everyone coming to help is well received, but those who come to be the kings...just....wake up

Hi.
au pair españa Thanks for your comment,you have a point,i have know many business owners and others that in there home country would be very professional and diligent in there business dealings and also think Spain was still a backward place to live with everthing inexpensive and the locals pushing ploughs in the fields all day,for a few pesatas..lol they go out and bake there selfs ending up like lobsters and totally unaware of the after effects,so they move to Spain lock stock and barell thinking they will live the Good Life...They can but you still need a regular income
