Hi all 👏
Sorry about the camera's inability to focus without shaking! I didn't realize how bad it was before the final edits.

I hope it's not too distracting 🤗

In my opinion the train from Fuengirola to Málaga (with a stop at the airport) is a huge advantage if you live close to one of the train stations).

Greetings from the States. This is a great. Thanks for doing this. I love your videos. I wished you did more. Curious to know--I've watched all your videos but don't recall if you've talked about how you bought a house with a digital nomad visa. So can someone on a DNV buy a house for that much? I thought the minimum to spend was $500K. I did watch your video about buying your house for $96K sometime ago and again today. Any updates on your house you've done since then? Btw, did you check if the structure of the building is sound? I'm asking because it looks like the building is old, from looking at the shape of your house before you had it renovated. Also, from the old video, I saw you bundled up inside your house. Don't you have heater? Or do you even need to use one? What's the inside temperature like wintertime?Love the breakdown of the cost of living. You're like me. I don't spend as much, too on leisure. I would certainly like to do the co-working space. Is it 24 hours? I take advantage of the free stuff. Take care.

Thank you so much for this video. I am now discerning my decision whether I could live in Spain on exactly that amount. And I was thinking also in the Malaga area or Alicante, my friend lives in Almería, so I wonder if that would be more affordable or if Malachi would be a little bit more exciting to live, but glad you spelled it out in all the categories because I did need to research more on this limited income, but it looks like it’s just right all the best and enjoy every minute. Happy holidays.

... In other words you have to take your down-payment and divide it by x VS renting.

[jorgeenmalaga]

Thanks for the reply, it's just that you have to come up with a down-payment. which in $ 100, 000 would be at minimum, $20, 000, in addition it would be good {in my opinion} to say the actual dp you made in order to keep your mtge pmt at $550 . I know here you also pay 10% taxes upfront.Very important to in my opinion. I come from the Mortgage Lending world so I may look at it in a different way.. 😄I personally rent and use what a do would be {maybe 50K to get 2% return mo. in the markets. Great video though, . Just my 2 cents 👍. I I'm in Benalmádena BTW. cheaper here lol.

Great info. Can you say how much you spend for your cat between vet bills, food and cat litter? If your cat gets sick, are vets in Spain expensive? Thank you / Tak.

I definitely have more than 1900 so this helps to get a sense watching now

Good job on owning, as it usually saves money.

Nina I’ve been enjoying your videos about Malaga. I’d love to hear why you picked Torremolinos and what you think of other areas outside of central Malaga. Thoughts on Predregalejo, El Palo, Ciudad Jardín, Fuengirola, Torre Del Mar, Estepona, etc?

[jorgeenmalaga]

Hi awesome, but since you own your place you forgot to mention the $$ of downyment closing costs etc..

[stephenGDL]

Hi Frii! Just came across your video :) May I ask what freelance work you do and any links? I want to move to Spain and have been doing my research but need a income source to supplement my rental income I receive as well. Thank you!

[MehmudButt]

i reralise n feel that living cost is lower in outskirts of a city is not hard and fast rule, example..if u r in barcelona and outskirts of barcelona, there is no much difference in housing cost(rent etc), what do u think about it?

[manuelfg]

Hi nina, how many languages do u speak?

[mare]

What's your job? My rent is 700 euros. 😢

[SoulfulAde]

Nice enough video, but as for saying let’s keep it International, I’m using dollars. The World doesn’t revolve around the US dollar. You’re clearly aiming this at Americans. The video, is about you living in SPAIN, so it would be of more use to the vast majority, (who don’t live in the States) - to use the EURO and NOT the dollar.

[walterwalters]

Super cheap these days compare to US....
