Thats been always on my mind increasingly over the past 8 years
The biggest problem is not our Daughter but always our parents as the longer you leave it the older and dependent they become in which in no way would I hold that against them or my wife’s parents.
And it would also seem that most like myself would have chosen America,Australia,New Zealand
obvious for those whom cannot speak another language and unfortunately not on the next 1hr or 2hr
flights away on a low cost airline. Gutted
So my advice would be to have done it much younger and my parents would be as well more fitter
as we all see what lays before us what this country offers us when we are older and more dependable on state help.
But what we have done is taken advantage of the low cost property in Spain and bought an holiday home
in the Alicante region, just for the occasional break to de stress and to be enjoyed by all the family and
sunshine 322 days in the year so pretty hard to get wrong.
Also we bought on an European Urbanisation so the main spoken language is English in which benefits
my pigeon Spanish also my parents/family and friends etc.
Moving on, now that we have had it over a year and been a few times it has really made us think of the opportunities this place can give us all year round and also if we was to say now oh bugger it we are
only an 2hr 30min from Alicante to stanstead Airport.
So basically now we are in our 40’s we are now focusing on renting our two properties here
and being able to have a more relaxed lifestyle there but still have a very doable journey to see and look after our parents.
I did not want to write a book but anyone wanting more in depth info please ask.
