We Learned The Hard Way…
When we moved to Spain, we felt lost and had no idea how much we should pay for things. As a result, we got charged over the odds for our immigration lawyer, accountant, and health insurance. Expenses kept popping up out of nowhere, making me frustrated and annoyed. If you expect an expense, you can plan for it, and it doesn’t annoy you.
The first few months were a blur when we arrived in Spain from Australia. Prices were so different from home, and with an exchange rate in the mix, it took us a while to get a handle on our spending.
Embarrassingly, I remember telling my friend back in Australia how cheap my son’s international school was – only € 2,000 a year! That ended up being the one-off capital fee – it costs a lot more than that!
We eventually knuckled down and made a monthly budget which was the very start of this calculator.
While the cost of living calculator won’t be able to model your life precisely, it will give you a real jump forward in your research and planning efforts. It will also help you make BIG decisions, such as where to live in Spain for your desired lifestyle.
This tool will make your move to Spain easier!
Happy planning! – Alison
We are retiring to Spain, and everyone asked us how we could afford to do that. It was a worry until I used the Cost of the Living calculator, as now I know we will be just fine.
Looking forward to our new life in Alicante.
