I had no trouble hearing or understanding anything you said. Your lovely Spanish-English accent is helpful to begin learning Spanish and why it is different from English. I do wonder whether the recent floods are impacting where people want to retire. Also, do the high Spanish taxes on USA social security pensions deter people, or are there ways to reduce paying a large portion of monthly social security benefits to Spain?

Good evening, thank you for this video. Please can I ask a question regarding the golden visa? Is it 500, 000 euros invested on property per couple not per person?
Also we have a holiday home already how does that work for a second property or would we sell then buy?
Kind regards

Hello again. As retired educators with fixed income from social security and pensions ($40k/year), and rental income from our condo, would we need a savings account with a year's income, also? Thanks! Dean & Cindy

Work and check the quality of your mic. I can’t hear or understand you.

Excellent video. Thank you. We are 66YO educators visiting Poland and Estonia after helping a new school open in Lviv. We are seriously thinking of selling our Portland condo and moving to Europe. Is renting a better option than owning a home for expats in Spain? We always wanted to own, but now it seems that putting the cash in CDs is wiser than purchasing a home. Plus the healthcare is better in Spain than in the US. Your thoughts? Dean & Cindy

Sorry the sound quality needs à big improvement and talk slower.

Sound sound quality is bad you talk fast along with your heavy accent makes it hard to understand
