How many on this forum are still working in Spain and how many are retired or living off fixed incomes?

Just being nosey

working - but less than even a couple of months ago - unfortunately

Wasn't there a thread about this very recently? or maybe it was just a post within a thread about something totally different as per normal

OH business in UK, me homemaker superstar leech (not)

yeah I remember - think it was within another thread

OH working here for last 6 years..........me, well Im just the general dogs body

Working self employed (legally) & paying for it.

Working in Barcelona but only part time currently, but more like full time from january until the summer break.

Struggling on a fixed Pound Sterling pension - Torrevieja just down from Alicante - credit crunch and fall of the pound is really hitting hard here.

Are you currently working at the same job as in the uk?

Yes, good question - I often wonder when people say they're working is it professional? Seasonal? Whatever they can get?

We have been here since March & have been lucky to find a job, one day a week.
Its not what i did in the UK, but am enjoying it, just wish i could find other employment to take the burden off the savings !!!!

I'm doing what I trained to do before I had the kids - though I didn't actually do that much of it

now they are older & I was getting bored I decided to get back to it


the money comes in useful too

Hi
Newly retired (2 months of payments) after living here for six years - worked illegally maintaining properties but cut back over the last couple of years now trying not to work - but the phone keeps ringing. However, now don't charge - as a bachelor an invite to "Cena" and bring your toolkit is normal !!!

Well done you & its always nice to keep your hand in.

I think it is quite hard for working-age immigrants to avoid the 'black economy' in Spain... For many people I know it helps to make ends meet...
