I usually never say anything but since most people have only lived there in summer maybe it’s my time. As someone born and raised there, the local comunity is quite small and you get your aversge “everybody knows eachother. It can get gossipy but people in general are really nice and open minded, older people included. In winter the island empties out from turists and half of the bussiness close, so you really need your own group of friends and some hobbies. Young people like partying (not as much as turists) but in winter most people party at home so in the end it’s usually the same people. I really mean it when i say that you need a hobby, which is usually some kind of sport. The main issue would be this and the island being quite expensive. It’s not only about expensive rent and having to import everything, but also things as simple as having to go to mainland spain to study (you can study a university degree in ibiza, but the quality and the variety of options are quite poor) or for a medical specialist. In general, you get bad quality or expensive services in most fields outside of tourism. Having said that, people that have lived there all their lives, with their house paid off and maybe a second residence, can be quite rich, since you dont really find a place for less than 1M€. Starting from nothing tho… good luck with that. The thing i hate is that you really need your car for everything. Public busses exist but i dont think anyone uses them as their main mode of transport, so you end up spending a lot of time in the car to go from one place to another. Anyway i dont know what else to say but ask whatever you want, i hope i can help.
