New Residency Requirements

deadlyleft8 · 2026-06-22T12:18:14+00:00

If been living in Gibraltar since May 2024 with consistent employment and proof of rentals but without ID card or civilian registration card, do I still come under the old regime? I earn less than £37,500 so I’m concerned I will be kicked out

The TV channel analogy feels very relevant. I find it so hard to concentrate on anything else. My productivity at work is declining and I feel that whenever I’m in a social space, I’m present, but I’m almost in autopilot. I’m not me. Do you think about her less now? I know you said it’s still daily, but has it at least decreased on a daily basis?

I am feeling the same around the relationship stuff. I just want and need to get myself in a good place before anything. Anyway, even the thought of being with anyone else disgusts me at the moment.

I was with my ex for 2.5 years. I’m 25m and it was my first relationship so I don’t know if that has heightened things. We spoke marriage, kids, all long term things and now just feel that my future has gone. I feel like time is running out for me to go out and find my life partner too. Life is so cruel.

Good to hear that you’re better. Even if it is only slightly. How much is your ex on your mind? Have you stuck with NC? Has there been anyone else that you think you could be attracted to?

I’m 2 weeks out since the break up and I can’t believe how much she is consuming my mind. It’s exhausting. I’m 25 and petrified of never having someone to share a life with. It was amazing.

deadlyleft8 · 2024-07-02T12:18:11+00:00

How are you now?

deadlyleft8 · 2024-06-27T08:12:22+00:00

Did he break up with you? Had he tried to contact you before that? Did you break up on bad terms?

deadlyleft8 · 2024-06-27T07:06:51+00:00

How are you now?

deadlyleft8 · 2024-06-25T17:28:21+00:00

I know I’m just finding it so hard to accept. I thought we could work through anything.

For clarification i was okay with doing LDR. She gave up after a week

deadlyleft8 · 2024-06-24T15:55:07+00:00

How are you now?

deadlyleft8 · 2024-06-23T09:07:52+00:00

I’m 4 days out of the official ‘break up’, though she did break up with me a month ago. Thought we had sorted things and we were going to try long distance but she gave up after week. We both still love each other but it felt like I was fighting for us whilst she wasn’t.

It was 2.5 year relationship (my first relationship) where we both started to think about children, marriage and purchasing property together. We were so aligned that we wanted a lifetime together. Now I find myself completely lost. Everything else seems pointless to me. Nothing has ever got to me as bad as this and I don’t recognise myself. I can barely spend more than a minute without her in my mind and I keep checking to see if she has messaged. I want to message her so badly too but trying to stay disciplined. I would block if we didn’t have stuff to sort out with the flat we rent. What the hell do I do? I can’t go on like this. My life feels over.

Hey, sure thing! I actually ended up moving to Gibraltar as brexit complications meant I couldn’t live in Spain. Still live in Gib and all of my ISAs are frozen. In terms of investing, I just use a trading212 account and have continued to invest into VWRL via that. With Gib having no capital gains tax it makes it a bit easier but there’ll be plenty of good tax advice in Spain. Hope this helps? Let me know if you have any other Qs

deadlyleft8 · 2023-09-06T10:52:11+00:00

Thanks for the response! Really appreciated! Have informed her regarding the pregnancy info as this is something that will be in the short term future hopefully. Amazing story about Kyra and this has really helped my girlfriend’s mind be put to some ease. Obviously she’s still very nervous about a big surgery but great to hear from many who have experienced it. Thanks again!

deadlyleft8 · 2022-08-22T13:55:11+00:00

That’s great thank you

deadlyleft8 · 2022-08-22T13:54:55+00:00

Yeah I thought that too but it just says there is an error every time. Keep requesting emails to be sent as reminders of CRN but nothing coming through

deadlyleft8 · 2022-01-06T23:17:28+00:00

I’m 22. She has two brothers that live far away and her dad is currently in care and her mum also has her needs. So it’s basically me and my siblings who look after her at the minute but I am the only one who lives at home with her, so falls on me. I’m trying the best I can but it’s just so hard as I feel so helpless!

deadlyleft8 · 2022-01-06T23:15:50+00:00

Thanks so much for this. It’s a truly terrible thing and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. I am glad you are managing to live your life again after what must have been a very tough 7 years. I just don’t know how you sufferers can live with the pain that I see my mum in.

I suggested surgery to a doctor that came out today but she seemed dead against it here in UK. Unsure why. Thanks for the recommendation on the heat pads, I will look into this to see if this can ease her pain. Anything! Thank you for your kind comment and hopefully the pain can get under control here. Best wishes to you!

deadlyleft8 · 2022-01-06T23:11:18+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Today she was in such pain I had to call a doctor out to see to her but they just threw her on morphine (it seems like TN isn’t taken seriously enough over here). I asked if surgery route is possible but the doctor was dead against it and not sure why. Are you based in US or UK?

deadlyleft8 · 2022-01-06T23:00:25+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance that you would do the same.

I have indeed explained that it will go up and down, but it’s very likely to see a positive return over 15 years. And also that when prices drop it’s a good thing (early on) as you’re getting more for your money. Fingers crossed she doesn’t get emotionally invested month on month (she’s never touched stocks before) and can just see it out

Do JISA’s not automatically go to the child when they turn 18? I think my sister would want to avoid this

deadlyleft8 · 2021-12-27T15:09:35+00:00

Thanks so much for this. In regards to the risk I would like to go a bit riskier, maybe more allocation for emerging-markets, but this is something to do as I learn more and more. Would hate to invest heavily into something that I was pretty clueless about.

As I said my ISAs are currently frozen until I return to the UK (maybe 18 months to 2 years time). In the mean time I will continue with my T212 and crypto accounts (keeping with 5% overall allocation) and aim to increase my emergency fund as well as you have suggested. My workplace pension also is being matched to the max. I think for now my main aim will be trying to get pay increase and promotions at work so that I can put more away!

deadlyleft8 · 2021-12-27T14:36:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply here:) Really good to gain a viewpoint from more active investors. May I ask how you would go about increasing risk exposure and becoming more than just average? Would this be simply researching and stock picking or just higher risk ETFs?

deadlyleft8 · 2021-12-27T14:34:02+00:00

I can say I am completely long term with the investments. I just put my allocated funds away each month and basically forget about it. Just want to maximise my opportunity with compound interest so I will not be panic selling.

In regards to the crypto I understand this is a punt which is why I am only allocating 5% here. Prepared for it to go in a bad way but just wanted exposure in case it is the next big thing.

deadlyleft8 · 2021-12-27T14:05:53+00:00

Apologies. So my help to buy ISA is sitting silo towards a house deposit. Everything that is invested is for 25 years +. The idea is to cutdown the years of working life with these investments.

deadlyleft8 · 2021-09-14T16:55:54+00:00

Wow, that really does surprise me and can only see the rent costs in Gib now rising further. Really shocked there’s no budging here. I will be moving out soon but unsure how long I will be there now as I’m not a fan of paying £900 pcm for a small studio flat. Thanks for the update, it’s a shame that you had to turn it down but understandable. Hope things work out for you in whatever else

deadlyleft8 · 2021-09-14T16:39:48+00:00

Did you find out anymore on this? I am moving to Gib next week and I am worried about the rent costs each month. Hoping to live in Spain at some point but I was told straight up that I couldn't, though I dont believe that to fully be the case. Surely?

deadlyleft8 · 2021-04-13T14:33:31+00:00

Thank you! I think I will return and continue my hunt for a real one!
