Hi thank you.allot of people called me mad to do what i did.must admit a few times i began to doubt my actions.
I think if you want some thing bad enough.It is out there for you.
you just have to work at it.nothing in life is easy.only you can make it happen!.
For me the days are not long enough in Spain.so much to do and see.never a dull moment.just wish i could of done this years ago.

Hi We drove down to the Costa del Sol my wife and I 8 yrs ago at first we rented an apt for 11months found work in the local bars within 2 weeks of been here.We then decided that this was the place for us( Benalmadena) so we bought our first apt on a new complex and started to clean the apts for other people who had bought holiday homes here,the word spread and we now have 35 apartments that we now manage, after 2 years we sold our first place and upgraded to a larger apt.We have a lot of friends here who like us work hard and have a very good life here in Spain, its not that easy for everyone it was a case of the right place at the right time and the good news is that people come back to the complex year after year for their holidays. Would I go back to the UK, never say never but at the moment life is good and healthy and the future for us looks good.My work took me to many countrys Israel ,Canada, USAand Europe and have lived and worked in them so for us to settle here in Spain was not a problem not bad for late fifty yr olds infact I,m 60 at Xmas,just thought i would share this story with you regards to all Blueboy

Hi All

I've enjoyed reading this thread trail.....some great comments....I enjoyed looking at the photo albums too

People in spain are so much more open and relaxed even in hard times. Wishing you all good health.

After nearly twenty five years of living in Spain and nearly fifteen years since I have even set foot outside of the country this is home and the UK is a foreign country.

There is a lot wrong with Spain now and it's not going to get better for a while but go back to the UK?... Never!

Hear Hear Beachcomber...We wouldn't even go back to the UK to die
Spain has a lot of faults and not a particularly bright immediate future in my opinion but I enjoy it here, the people are sweet, the weather brilliant, and the cost of living very very reasonable. Estamos Muy Content

Wow I'm totally impressed with the huge response my post got on this forum. I've been talking to friends both back home and here on the Costa Blanca but nobody has given me as much insight as these posts.

I also have to give credit to Greg, your eBook has not only been inspiring and motivating but also allowed me to see things from a new perspective, I'm sure I'll be implementing several of your tips! Thank you also from my husband, he started reading the eBook just after me and couldn't stop. He is already working on the 5€ services idea you propose!!

Thanks for your positive feedback on my eBook! I am glad you enjoyed it. I also invite you and your husband to post any questions you have or any support you may need on our forums. I will be glad to assist in any way I can.

Would you mind posting this as a testimonial in the section: "Survive the Crisis in Spain".
