Second Time Around
Hi everyone...it's been an age since I was last on here asking advice about my move to Spain 5 years ago with my 14 year old twins!
I already had property there and found a British private school and everything seemed to be in place. I had a job etc etc etc.
But as is the case.....it went belly up for unforeseen circumstances( my partner upping and leaving.....for one!)....we struggled for a year. One twin LOVED it....the other didn't......so after sleepless nights.....we returned....fortunately I rented my property out in the UK.
Twins are now successfully in Uni and having a blast in their chosen subjects.....and now I am off again....with my partner who like me adores SPAIN having lived there for years.
Have sold the original Spanish property....broken even there....and we are renting on a beautiful area by the sea in the Costa Blanca.......not millionaires but enough to enjoy life and retirement.....mid January.
So this is just to say......it does work out ....in the end.
Happy New Year everyone!!

Re: Second Time Around
Thank you guys for you're encouragement and best wishes.....it hasn't been easy.....especially admitting defeat and having to return...plus living back in the UK.
Since my twins leaving mainstream education...I CANNOT AFFORD to live in the UK anymore...it's as simple as that. Apparently I earn too much to get working tax credit....which would've actually fed me!
