So you say that everyone is doing badly, starving, abandoing children etc... except you?

If you can do well, then why can't the OP? :huh:

You are giving just one side of Spain, yes, there is a big problem at the moment with unemployment and people losing their homes. But that doesnt go to say that everyone lives like that. Most people are going along just fine

Firstly in reply to YOU if you read the post properly,i did not say everyone is doing badly except me,so get your facts straight please!,hypocritical is an incorrect statement!.

Again you did not read my post did you?,i did NOT give just one side of spain,I also gave positive aspects of spain living here if you bothered to read my other posting to madlass (apt name!).

I have worked hard to relocate here to spain,made sacrifices,been without work and in,lost a son to lukemia,things have gone bad/wrong like everywhere you live its just here it can be harder to sort things out,thats reality.

Quote:" Most people are going along just fine"...so who are all these people?..you perhaps?,my neighbour just lost his home after 10 years of paying for it he's spanish,had a good job,the bank officials and baliff and police were waiting to get him his wife and 2 kids out of the property at 8.30 am,he now only gets only 400 euros a month him his wife and kids now,he's not going along so fine is he?,he's HOMELESS,i think maybe YOUR circle of friends are going along just fine eh?.

A lot has changed from moving here in 2006 as you must know as you live here,thats why i say it how it is,for the comfy well off,for the expat pensioners with a good pension/s from working hard all their lives fair play.:thumbsup:
