Congratulations! And awesome journal. Its so inspiring to hear about such a pleasant early retirement from someone who retired on $250k, rather than an enormous sum of money.

Yo TravelingTrader! I was hoping you may have some insights with regards to rent. What did that 389€ net you? One bedroom, two bedroom, roommates? Was it furnished? My girlfriend and I have talked a lot about Spain today and a potential future retirement there!

Well done TravelingTrader. Many people's journals 'go dark', it was illuminating to see how it has worked out for you. Sounds like, really well.

Really enjoyed reading your journal and it's wonderful that you were able to make such incremental positive changes to your budget. I am currently residing in Barcelona as well and trying to figure out certain topics to eventually make a final move here from Portland, Oregon USA.
Condos in the US have ongoing expenses such as HOA, special assessments, property taxes, and insurance. Not only are condos cheaper here in Barna but they seem to have less ongoing expense, as I'm understanding.

Hi TravelingTrader. How is life in Barcelona? Have you expected the political turbulences about the independence will of Catalonia? Does that change your plans about living in Barcelona?

Also quit my IT work some time ago as I hated it and will probably never get back.
For security reasons I have acquired a German travel health insurance for 59€ a month valid at a max. of five years. That is the reason I am about to build a new business. At some day I have to apply for Spain´s social system and I don´t want to do this by working half a day in a supermarket.
Hi TravelingTrader. How are things in Barcelona? You still there?

Great to hear from you again.
Are your financials ok? Do work again? Or are you ok with your passive income cashflow?
