I thought I would start this little article on work in Spain by telling you a few salient facts about Spain;
1) Unemployment currently stands at 22.9%
2) To set up your own business costs an initial monthly cost of at least 450 Euros with an on-going monthly cost of 350 Euros, even if you do not require office space or a place of work.
3) If you are self-employed, you do not qualify for any unemployment benefit if things don’t work out.
I decided from a very young age that I didn’t want to live in the UK and Spain seemed a rather natural place to come and live as it was close enough to what I used to call home to not feel too isolated yet exotic enough to be different.
I don’t know whether it is a birthday or a milestone but the next post I put up on Houses For Sale In Spain will be the 500th post on the site. To celebrate I am going to eat a cake! However for my clients it will mean a huge difference because there is going to be an announcement that will surprise and delight in equal measure.
I was reading a post on Lifestyle Design for You from my online mate Gordie Rogers the other day and it got me thinking. His question was whether Lifestyle Design was dead. If you are not sure what lifestyle design is by now then read on. The comments and debate were interesting because Lifestyle Design has been described, erroneously in my opinion, as a hedonistic pursuit of self gratification for young single people. Read his post and comments for more as you can find the link below in the related reading section.
I have been working on a project which has seen the light this week six months after conception. But it is interesting to see how a project can develop over time and how “shipping” dates can easily slip as a minor project becomes more and more important.
