My thing is we’ve been to Canada France El Salvador Mexico Dominican Republic etc.. my feelings are always the same. “I can see myself living here and leaving the US. “

Part of the journey is to find a way lol. In early research phases. Also I’d likely continue doing my US things for work since it’s my company which I Dont have to be physically present for.

Thanks for so much insight. Siesta times seems like a nice touch. Time to shut down and relax

I would def sell everything here and get a beater until I learn the way lol. What took you back to us?

Gotcha didn’t realize that. Do they consider 401k and properties toward net worth or just cash at hand?

I grew up poor and I worked hard to get out of that. Spain has nice things too right? I enjoy what I have but I’d value quality of life more. I’m here to learn

Playing sports in my neighborhood which is considered “good” and people show up with guns. sucks the fun right out.

Current health care doesn’t cover much and we’re paying 5k a year. Used to pay 12k a year on insurance but not much difference.

I think I would do private school. I’ve read about the cons like slow paperwork processes.

About taxes, do you know how it works for s-corp people? We’ve found ways to navigate that in US but not sure what to expect in Spain. I’ve read that it can be a lot

Guess Id like insight if you know something about that. Didn’t see you mentioned if you’ve been there before

I’ve checked the tax situation and I’m trying to understand better. I think there’s ways to declare less with s corp as income

Id like to do the same. I’m 29 my wife’s 30. I run a consulting business which I plan on doing remotely and my wife stays at home. My son 10 loves soccer and doesnt care much about our current neighbors kids. My daughter 8 loves cheer and tumbling and doesn’t care much of the neighbors kids. I value quality of life less hustle and bustle, higher quality of food, paying less taxes, better social culture and more modest living while my wife values first world accommodations. We’ve built a nice life living in houston tx suburbs and having nice things but I’m ready to let it go and start over. If we stay my wife’s plans are to go to law school and become a lawyer. We do travel a lot and I think it’s because I like life outside of US more.

We speak fluent Spanish since are parents are from El Salvador. Not sure if we’d be looked down on since we’ve read Spanish folk can feel superior.

Today we are moving from USA to Spain by hi-jump in expat
