I tell you, Spain will teach you to take life easy. I'm still battling with it though. I can't fathom why I'm not as relaxed as those mothers that stay out taking coffee after dropping the kids at school, and later sit out in the evenings watching their kids play in the park. I find myself thinking, "there must be something better I can do with my time". But now that my body is breaking down... I understand that those where smarter women.

The shocking thing is that even the most financially successful amongst them still live the laid back life, have time for family so it's not about overworking oneself, they know how to work smart, set money traps and be content with what comes in.

Auntie Flo, I've been to the UK several times, and my big brother lives there. I can't live there either. For me, i lived in Canada for thirty-four years. I had a great job that paid me six figures per year. For the last five years, i couldn't handle the damp, depressing wintry weather. I started suffering from seasonal depression. At the age of 52, i retired from my job and ran away to Tanzania. I have been living in Tanzania for fifteen months now. The time in Tanzania has been the best time of my life. There are challenges, of course, but i don't care. I am living my best life

Meanwhile my friends were earning 1.75 in Luanda, Malabo, 1.6 in south east Asia, in the best climates, being chauffeured around, fed, waited on. They hardly touched their money.

However the past few years our UK weather has me seriously considering relocating and the only reason I have held off is because the children are in secondary school. I believe once they get into UNI I will definitely relocate. Having a garden to grow food and the outdoor space makes it bearable but it is still not the nicest of weathers especially late autumn-winter.

I can afford it very comfy in Nigeria but the lifestyle over there is a big 'I-dont-know'. It's an interesting crossroad for me as a 30y/o. Maybe this is my version of a mid-life crisis hahaha.

See eh! that word you mentioned 'okupas' aka 'squatters'? That's the problem my city is facing for the longest. They will occupy someone's home and lie from heaven to earth that they are renting it and can't be evicted...and they can't be removed by force from that home. The homeowner will have to take them to court and it takes months...even YEARS to get this issue settled. Until then, the owner will continue to pay any mortgage or utility bills. And if the owner dares to cut the utility, the owner can go to jail because the law sees it as torture. This is terrible for homeowners. Literally, at this moment, the state reps are drafting a bill that will protects homeowners from these evil (sometimes deadly) squatters. God help us!

This amount I quoted is for right inside the city of about 170,000 people. In the south for instance Costa del Sol where celebrities and billionaires from all over the world come to buy houses, you will find very high prices. But really, I'm surprised to read that it's not common to own in Germany even for Germans. What will they do when they retire? Here in Spain, the Spaniards even have 2 homes like the Igbos, one in the city and one in their village.

@@FloChinyere what will they do when they retire? Good question. They continue living in the rented apartment. Almost everyone has pension, either by work or just by being a citizen. Then who doesn't have pension, his or her bills are taken care of by social services. The only thing that can happen is you moving from a big house to a smaller house to suit your pension and or allowance. All in all, you will be fine when you retire. Government takes care of Everybody here, young and old. But, their is one more major reason people don't own houses...the loneliness is real. Kids are grown, they left, that big house, what will you do with it? Paying big tax for a house you can't even clean and 90% of it you don't use. Then if you buy a small apartment you suffer to pay for it for 30 years (average person). Denying yourself the enjoyment of life or even experiencing any other part of the country because you're stuck in a flat you bought. Not forgetting that government will not give you penny in case you need money if you own a house. But you live in a small communal apartment, you get to say good morning my neighbours! every morning. Pay your rent with some of your monthly money like you have always done all your life. You can clean your apartment and your house doesn't echo with solitude in this cold country. Some people even give up any form of house or apartment they rented or bought, and move in willingly to the old peoples home just for company.

People complain about UK weather like the people in the UK are to blame for why the weather is like that. If youre familiar with secondary school geography, you would have figured out that UK is an Island in the middle of the Atlantic Oceen and at the mercy of all weather fronts. You can't expect UK weather to be like that of other parts of Europe that are landlocked and closer to tropical Africa. The weather or land mass of the UK is not going shift because some people don't like it. It's a case of making necessary adjustments and making the most of your lĺfe and adjusting to each weather front as it comes. It shouldn't be a big deal because some people live in Alaska, Greenland and other areas covered by snow for most of the year and are still happy. UK's weather can't be harsher than that of the above places.

I've lived in the UK for 30 years. Sadly, most people who have an aversion or negative views about the UK have only ever been to London or one or two mega cities. That's not a good yardstick for judging life in the UK. You can't judge a whole country based on your experience of one city, county or region. More so, life exist in other regions in England, Scotland, Wales& Northern Ireland, each with their own autonomy. I live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and am very Happy here. Your comment is like going to Lagos and judging the whole of Nigeria based on your experience of Lagos. The rating of happiness you refer to is post-Brexit. There's no doubt that leaving the EU has made life harder but the British government won't admit that. I didn't vote to leave but many British people including immigrants were misled to vote OUT by fascist parties who championed Brexit. Now they're all feeling the pinch, though they won't admit it. Our universities are running at a loss as a result and if the Tories remain in power, most Universities will go bankrupt in the next 5 years.

Europe? Not southern Europe.

Hmm this UK matter and that article shocked me too. I didn’t think it was that depressing but I guess the article had the evidence to prove it, to arrive at that conclusion. Life is what we make of it wherever we are and find ourselves. That is the motto that I try to use to guide me daily. N/b: Spain is a top destination for holidays and get-aways for families so not surprised you love it there.

I guess I was in a position to have a choice. If I arrived the UK with a family back then, I wouldn't have had the luxury of making such a snappy decision to move back "just" because of weather and "how I felt" about it. If I had other family members to consider or if I went through a rigourous relocation/japa process that people go through, I would have sucked it up and stayed back albeit depressed. That's life.

I didn’t catch the reason why though? The weather?

the weather is definitely part of it. Then there's culture, hostility etc

I didn’t get a sense of that from what she explained as her experience. I personally would not describe a typical English person as “hostile”! Not from my view anyway.

Sis for me it was the weather ooo Start watching from 01:17 to hear when I linked it to weather. Then watch this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2mdqLefe8KdoNo.html for when I discussed how depressing the UK weather was for me. That's what I was refering to when I said that I have been proven right by that recent article.

A lot of people assume this! Some assume UK. In spite of all the Spanish life and culture sprinkled in my videos. 😂
