Thing is there are many third world countries where life is much more expensive than in spain.

As a fifty

year old i have been living "pre.retirement " in Spain.

I dont have to count every penny i spend , but in most Euro countries it should be easily possible to live on 2000 a month

A friend of mine  who imigrated to AUstria  is living quite well with a family of 3 on 1900 euros

You are quite right ...rent or mortgage monthly is the key issue....It  should not exceed more than  25 percnt of your gross budget....

Harry...

that about seems right.......btw. in 2000 euros my friend is renting at the moment.....489 euros

insurance, food, etc is 1300 euros......300 is emergency fund inc sudden car repairs, put aside every month....

he tells me he would be hard pressed to try and spend more than 2200 euros if he has an average lifestyle.....cheers
