Watch this. This looks like the place to retire.. check out this Australian woman's story...


We would have to learn Spanish though....lol


Erica Mena  watch the vid..

Watch it on a big TV.

Come on
 JOEJ and @Eric Mena... watch this woman's successful transition to a very high quality of life on a low income... I am thinking she might be living on $500 a week in a 3 story house. She has 3 balcony's... she has no garage.... that is the draw back at her particular place.

No wonder Lotus went to Portugal.

We would live like King and Queen there.

If I lived in Spain I would want an indoor pool.

She bought the place for $60,000. Renovations cost $40 and the most revered people in Spain are grandparent. They are the law.

Spain is good, but there are many cheaper countries to retire abroad than Spain.

But are they safe?... Mexico isn't safe. Spain looks safe.


I really encourage to watch that when you have spare time.   It's bloody good.

Are pensions quite limited in Australia caskur askur?

I guess pensions stretch further in Spain than Australia eh?

I have been to Spain dozens of times. My kid brother is an overseas toolpush living in Portugal with his Italian-Argie old lady and their kids.

Spain and Portugal are cheap by West European standards. So is Southern Italy. But, most of the countries that made up the former Yugoslavia are cheaper.

I just wrote out a good posts and lost it.... I have to write another one so I am very pissed off about that. This forum doesn't cache so if you lose your post it's  gone forever.

Give me a bit of time to redo another one.

I wouldn't  go live in those fucking countries if you paid me a billion $. Women go missing all the time and they continually
War. Anyone getting rid of their monarchy are bad news.

Western Australia is really expensive. We are the mining state...  if you watch the lady the whole way through she explained her predicament. She never owned her own place and only held $60,000 in superannuation... that's a pittance. That won't last your retirement.

I am not 100 % sure what a full pension is. I think it's  around $500.00 a week.

Unless you live in a state housing place then your $500 a week isn't going very far... watch the video.... watch the whole lot... it's very, very informative.

We have many hundreds of thousand to top up our pension plus our mortgage was fully paid off over 15 years ago... that lady wasn't in our position and she's always lived the high life... to live the high life where I am you need maybe $1,500 or more a week. She wanted to live the high life and still does. Her Australian pension goes very far in Spain.

I have heard that even popular resorts like Playa Del Carmen are no longer as safe anymore.

This is for what Trump did to my people....Gringo!





Maybe the bouncer is somebody who got deported or didn't get paid when he was a laborer in the States?

3 Australians have been murdered in Mexico in the last year. As well as American tourists.

I have always wanted to go to Mexico. I like their art but these days there drug traffickers so Mexico I a no go area.
