Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

Hi Sue,

Sorry if it seemed a bit spammy I haven't been here long but I know that there are a lot of concerns, I thought my expertise might allay some fears and help.

Sorry.:wub:

PS Great forum learnt a lot about procedure in Spain from it.

One way around this might be to put your web site details in your signature??

Thanks for the tip but I wasn't actually looking for business as such just to help those who are a little nervous about seeking professional advice. I'm trying to retire.

It's a shame that people who've worked hard and saved all their lives and managed their finances get mugged by Governments who can't manage finances so pinch ours twice. Sorry getting a bit soap boxy there, just want to reassure people that it isn't or rather, needn't be complex, isn't expensive (if anybody tries to charge a fee bin em).

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

Yes we are being mugged. Not only by OUR UK government but mostly by other EU governments. They dont make decisions, then they make the wrong decisions. They make those wonderful people in the markets nervous by making panicky statements and then all our pension funds drop, as well as investments.

If they got their @rses together maybe we wouldnt see quite so much of the up and down trend (otherwise called boom and bust, which the Cons were proclaiming they would avoid).

There are times when I wish I had a huge mortgage because it seems to me that those that got into debt have been rewarded, and those that saved for their retirement as advised by experts are rewarded with crappy interest rates that give them nothing for their money

Rant over

Your better off doing bugger all all your life than working, That's The GREAT Britain many stick up for.

Hard Workers can't claim bugger all, and those who never worked a single day in their life get the bloody whole package:thumbdown:

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

Which is why you came to Spain, of course ;)

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

Yep you got it in one.

I couldn't afford to live in the UK even if I wanted to.

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

Yes in some ways I'd agree .... but if you notice it is often external forces that cause all this crap. A man having his evil way with a chambermaid in New York, the Greek public revolting, a European financial guru making a negative comment .... and dont start me on the americans.

THAT's what peeves me. I have no recourse to those nobbers, whereas at least I could write to my MP asking him in which waste bin the latest cabinet minister left details of next years budget!

Strangely not tbh ....... I like it here, but they have huge problems ... ask a Spaniard! It would be my "same sh!t, different country" speech if I were to go off on it here! :D

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

IMO all those flocking home to the UK are flocking for benefits, as expensive as it is getting here, it's no where near like it is in the UK, Water rates, Council tax, TV license come to mind in a flash forgetting the utility bills.

If they ruin me (and they are getting close) and I have to return, they will have the biggest claim on their hands they have ever seen lol.

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

You want to move up this way .... it's cheaper :D


And if I click that bloody signature of yours again it will send me nuts

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

Hmm didn't understand much of that sorry.

The signature though, does stop rude comments about my private adds/clasified on here. It's something I just had to do. Read what it says in the link..

Re: Get That Tidy Up Finances Off
 

What pisses me off are the ones who spend their time criticising the UK and seem to be getting every benefit available....better a working Pole:)

Been a lot of queries on here like "fed up of the UK it's crap, moving to wonderful Spain, what benefits can I take with me" If the Eurozone crumbles they will have to go ask the Spanish SS:rolleyes:

Way over my head - link goes nowhere and the message differs depending on your ISP. That is, it's different for everyone.
