I have had a small Spanish home for five years. As a rule I let family stay for free and friends pay a very low rate.
A couple of things to be aware of, if the Spanish authorities are aware you are renting out for money you will be liable for tax. Allow about 13% extra on top of your purchase...
Does anyone else fo thier own predictions as well? It says that Chris currently has a 49% success rate which is slightly better than his guests. It shows that my predictions are at 53% do slightly better than him
Thought he had a good game today. Good distribution and one occasion I remember he had great anticipation to get to the ball before Salah after Tariq had made a block and the loose ball was in the penalty area.
I also liked that he held the ball most of the time not palming it away
Well done! From my experience over a period of time by paying my mortgage and property prices going up it put me in a stronger position than when I used to pay rent but got nothing in return, the money just goes into a black hole
Sometimes there are very good reasons for taking on debt. I think the key is to try and use the money wisely and don't let the debt get out of control.
Not easy for sure. You really have to be determined to make a new life for yourself to do this. And fill it with a lot of other things, Otherwise retirement would be a long time to be bored
I won't move back. I have made my life here now. Easy to settle in eg; the govt here pays for people like me to learn the language etc. A lot speak english anyway. We have a little place in Spain I can always go to if I am missing the sun in winter. We are VERY north.
I only miss 3 things...
Moved abroad a couple of years ago. Due to the much lower property prices I became mortgage free and retired at 59 with a home that a working class guy like me could only dream of in England. No debts at all and even have a little in the bank. Feel incredibly lucky! Just made some good decisions...
I don't believe so. It's just a whole system that's set up. Showing it at the polling station is just one use of it. But it can be used for online voting in any case
The ID card system used not just about voting. Along with smart ID it is used for endless stuff over here. Like booking your doctor's appointment online, logging into your online banking, logging into any government site for public use, signing for payments etc. It certainly makes life very simple
