March 07, 2025 5 Reasons People Regret Their Decision to Retire in Spain | Cons of Living in Spain
Dreaming of retiring in Spain? Before you pack your bags, there are some harsh realities to consider.

Here, I will reveal five critical reasons why people regret their decision to retire in Spain and explain how to avoid these pitfalls.

Spain’s tax system can be a shock, with wealth taxes and stark differences between regions like Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia.

Then there’s the cost of living: Barcelona and Malaga face a housing squeeze, with skyrocketing rents making that dream villa elusive, and the cons of moving to Spain start to pile up.

Language barriers further complicate life—outside tourist hubs, English isn’t widely spoken, leaving some retirees feeling isolated.

These cons of living in Spain might make you rethink your plans.

February 11, 2025 5 Reasons to Leave the UK That People Are Afraid To Talk About (+ Where You Should Go Instead)
Reasons to leave the UK can be many, BUT in this video, there are five that people rarely discuss.
