Why moving to Spain was the Best Decision of my Life
From Miami to Málaga: Why moving to Spain was the best decision of my life. 🇪🇸
In 2022, my wife and I packed 12 suitcases, grabbed our two dogs, and traded the corporate hustle of the U.S. for the sunshine of the Costa del Sol.
After 4 years of living in Andalusia, the "pluses" are undeniable. If you’ve ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of the Atlantic, here’s the reality:
- Healthcare: I pay €86/month for private insurance. I recently had a pacemaker procedure—total cost? Zero. My blood pressure meds went from $25/month in Miami to $1.50 in Malaga.
- Cost of Living: A dinner for two at a nice restaurant is €50. A bottle of great Spanish wine is €5. My car lease (including insurance and maintenance) is half of what I paid in Miami.
- Active Living: 300 days of sunshine. I’m playing golf for €45 instead of $120.
- The Trade-off: Yes, taxes are higher and I had to retake my driving test at age 70! But for the infrastructure, high-speed trains, and rich culture? It’s worth every penny.
Spain isn't just a place to live; it’s a place to thrive.
