Quality of life is definetily better in Spain or any other southern or central European country, money is not everything in life like most Americans are brainwashed to believe, a good meal, a good conversation, a glass of wine admiring centuries old architecture gives you such joy that no billionaire can't even un derstand in the US , its simply PRICELESS

The brainwashing that goes on is because of the corporate culture they have there, they've let it get such a hold over society that it's not healthy for the people, it's basically a culture where companies want people to spend everything they have, even go into debt on things they don't really need, then work there arses of to continue that spending, it's all about enriching the rich elites and corporations and isn't really good for the well-being of its citizens to not have a good balance from work and life. Don't get me wrong, most of us would like more money, but not at the expense of quality of life, which is where Europeans are doing it much better than Americans are doing, after all, as long as you've got enough money, you can have a good quality of life, so it's not really about having more, as that doesn't improve the quality of life, it's all about having enough that you're comfortable with to be happy and do what you want in life.

Yes, but you have to wait 6 months for an appointment with a specialist, while I can have it in days with a private insurance. If you can pay it, it's worth... of course if you have something serious and/or expensive... the private insurance will get rid of you, and then is when you use the public one. ;)

i'm not sure but I think that you have to have a private insurance and money saved to live in Spain (and the rest of the European countries) if you are a non European resident. It's a legal requirement to be able to access to all the benefits of the system (like they did when applied to Spanish courses at the university) and work legally.

Dude, if you think about Spain, don't think about money. Think about social life, having 1 month of paid vacation to be able to enjoy life, free weekends, and that maybe you won't be the richest person in the world, but if you find a good job, you can save to travel, to buy yourself treats, to go out for a drink with friends. We place a lot of importance on social life and usually meet in bars for a drink, generally with tapas and wine. However, if going out at night, it's usually beer or cocktails. Maybe you'll meet someone for a coffee in a café mid-morning... Or decide to go on a getaway with friends to the mountains or the coast, of which we have plenty here. Trips to small towns or different autonomous communities are also very common. Spain is a very diverse country and traveling within its borders is like changing countries continuously. The landscape, buildings, and the character of the Spanish people change depending on where you are... I like traveling abroad, but traveling within Spain I like just as much or even more. We have a country that is a gem and many don't know how to appreciate it.

@@mrswonderful87 I am also Spanish, and the issue of work, at least in the northern autonomous communities like Aragón, Navarra, or the Basque Country, is not a problem. I am from Zaragoza, and whenever I wanted to find work, I did so without much delay. Maybe it’s not the best job in the world, maybe not the best paid, but there is work. What is indeed more difficult to find is a good job, but I suppose that happens everywhere. I agree with you on the topic of taxes and debt, but that is mainly because we are governed by mediocre people who don't care about the country's economy. It’s better to give subsidies and handouts to buy votes.

My rent in the uk is £500 for a 2 bedroom apartment that faces a large park (cities like london will be literally 4x the price tho), i really have no reason to move i like my apartment and can travel and not worry. I spend about £300 a month on food inlcuding eating out. £300 on bills including car tax and insurance. Ill exaggerate and say an extra £200 on utilities and all of this still works out to about $1500 a month at most to maintain my life. People here dont need to have extreme car payments because of public transport and we dont buy brand new cars and our used cars are really cheap, my used 2012 nissan cost me £1200 about 3 years ago. I only earn about £30k per year but healthcare is free, i get 7 weeks paid time off at my job, unlimited sick days (obviously), full time work week is 32 hours, i travel almost every month for a weekend break etc We often dont realize how easy we have it and too many are chasing the consumerist bullshit to understand how much free stuff and time off they get.

The life they're living is not cheap and definitely not something most locals can afford. The rent of my tiny studio in Madrid is 550 €, and now it's "cheap", because prices have skyrocketed and it's impossible for me to move elsewhere (I have to stay here for work, so no option of leaving the city) because a small 1 bedroom apartment that's not a basement, doesn't matter how far from the city center, costs now minimum 800-900, and easily more. But salaries cannot cover that. If you're single and live alone, it's just impossible. A third of my salary (and it's not minimum wage) is spent on rent, add utilities, groceries, vet bills, any unexpected expenses, and some money to just enjoy life for five minutes... and you save pretty much nothing at the end of the month. Of course it depends on where you live. Logroño is not as expensive, same as other smaller cities, but many of us have been forced to move to Madrid, Barcelona and other big cities because it's where the jobs are. The life of digital nomad influencers and the way the life of this couple is depicted aren't the reality for most young (and not so young) Spaniards who struggle to get to the end of the month with some money in the bank. Every time you say "That's not bad", you're just viewing things from your American perspective and salaries, but it doesn't translate here.

I live in Sevilla with my partner and we pay 800€ for a 2 beds 2 baths flat in a brand new neighborhood, so the flat is just 3 years old and the rent includes the comunal facilities, which consist in a numerated parking spot, storage room, pool and gym. For groceries we spend about 400€, the car is paid now, but it was 250€ monthly. In utilities is about €320. We both work and earn the exactly same amount, and we earn a little bit over the average wage. Oh! and the Amazon stuff, yeah we have it here, there are around 25000 employees, me being one of them 😅

Ten en cuenta que hay muuuuchos componentes que hacen que se gane más o se gane menos, por el horario en el que trabajas, los findes que tengas en calendario y la antigüedad, así que habrá quien gana más y quien gana menos.

In fact it's in the cheap side compared to the same conditions in many other Comunidades Autónomas (regions). Obviously if you live alone in a 1 room flat in the middle of nowhere and don't visit every supermarket for the best food they could spend lest, but that goes without saying.

Cost of living from country to country and even from regions within a country can vary massively, but it is becoming apparent that if you care about your well-being and quality of life, Europe overall is a better place to live whiles still having a high quality of living being that the wealth is there to make money, depending on what you want. Considering that on average, people work 30-40 hours a week, sleep on average 8 hours a day, I find it crazy how so many people, especially in the US are putting so many hours in the pursuit of making money above everything else, we only live once on average around 80 years, a lot of that time is spent working and sleeping, you would think that people would want to enjoy life, experience places and so on, life is too short to be worrying about work or money, living and quality of life is far more important, and I bet a lot of people in old age, look back at there life and wonder, what the hell happened and where did it all go, because many don't do much with their lives because they don't have the time because of there work and money, Europeans clearly have a better balance from work and life and being able to enjoy life more by having far more time off work.

Europa es el continente más seguro del mundo, según el último Índice de Paz Global, que valora la seguridad de los países donde vive el 99,7% de la población mundial. Este ranking sitúa a España en el puesto 32 de los 163 países del informe, por delante de Italia, Francia y Reino Unido. De hecho, se encuentra entre los treinta países que menos presupuesto requieren para solucionar conflictos derivados de la violencia. Las cifras de homicidios, el acceso indebido a armas y las tasas de criminalidad se hallan en el cuadrante más pacífico de la escala. Por otra parte, España encabeza desde hace años las listas de países más seguros para las mujeres. La agencia estadounidense Bounce sitúa a nuestro país como el Nº6 más seguro para mujeres viajeras en su ranking mundial. Las categorías evaluadas son las cifras de homicidios femeninos, la seguridad diurna y al caminar por la noche, la actitud de la población, la protección legal y la igualdad de género.

Finland can be a depressing country. Few hours of daylight, utterly cold weather, cold people, no life after 5 PM. Wages might be high and corruption low but only people born in such places can really adapt to living in cold northern countries. I always wonder, if those countries are the best then why their citizens need keep coming to Spain or Greece or Portugal in the Summer every year? Because of quality of life, nice weather, nice food, nice eateries, beautiful people, parties, social life, culture, history... That's why lots of pensioners from the UK seek living here after they retire. Spain and Portugal are far from perfect in some regards but provided you have a decent job life can be pretty good. In the end it mainly depends of the things you are accustomed to and your personal experiences. For me in Spain is about the small details. For example, being able buy an affordable season pass to go to a city-council-managed outdoor swimming pool for 3 months during the Summer.

You know, I wonder... the difference - living in the midst of your community, walking around, actually seeing your neighbours, getting to know them, saying "hi", learning those that have diffferent colour skin are just normal folk too AND minimal access to firearms... I wonder though, the small segregations of America - that literal non-walking/walkable neighbourhood and lack of interaction, does that make it easier to go rampage? Quality of life, just the relaxation of being in a community, being able to walk to the shops. If I drive, I can guarantee there's going to be (at least some) tension involved at some point.

@@Wilderberg-Oficial It's not null access to firearms, you CAN actually get a firearm and have it in your home, but the requirements won't be at all as low as in the US, there is a lot of controls to pass and some conditions to meet, an it's use and carry is VERY much restricted to certain circunstances (defense in most cases is not one of them), but you can have them even as a civilian. I have a friend for example that is from a family of hunters and they do have a lot shotguns at home for example, even some pump-action ones, not only the double barrel ones. Cool stuff, i tell you... Also, when I was young, there was some instances of shootings in one of what at the time was the worst neightbourhood around (La Vera), so there is at least some access to pistols around either in the black market or originally purchased legally. But of course gun violence it's not even the shadow of a problem in Spain, so much so, that some people don't even know that you actually can own a gun as a civilian.

@@apl315 No. No puedes conseguir en el Mercado legal un arma de fuego corta, salvo en muy puntuales casos. Por ejemplo, si perteneces a la Seguridad de algún alto cargo, un Joyero que tiene que visitar clientes cargado de joyas, un empresario amenazado o que ha sufrido algún suceso violento etc. Casos muy puntuales y que requieren de infinidad de permisos y verificaciones muy difíciles de conseguir. La mayoría de permisos concedidos son, como bien dices, para poseer dicha arma corta en tu domicilio del cual no puede salir. En general, estamos de acuerdo en este punto. Todo esto conlleva que tengas la seguridad de que NADIE va armado con arma corta en España. Pero siempre hay alguna excepción, cómo dije en mi anterior comentario. Correcto, su uso y transporte está extremadamente restringido a determinadas circunstancias y la defensa, cómo bien apuntas, no suele ser una de ellas. Otra cosa muy distinta son las armas de caza, que casi cualquier español, tenemos en casa. Su uso está restringido para esta actividad y su transporte está muy regulado. Maletero del coche y siempre dentro de su funda, sin cargar, por supuesto. Tengo alguna escopeta de caza mayor para safaris que son obras de arte con munición bastante "destructiva". Su uso, requiere sólo de algún permiso de caza, algún test psicotécnico y son muy fáciles de conseguir con los permisos correspondientes. Todas están reguladas con números de serie y controladas por el Cuerpo de Seguridad del Estado correspondiente. En este caso, Guardia Civil. Su transporte fuera de casa está restringido a la actividad de la caza. Portarla en un coche sin ir a esta actividad está muy penado con penas de prisión en la mayoría de casos. Como apuntas, es cierto que en el Mercado negro se pueden adquirir armas cortas y cómo apuntas, es cierto que hay zonas conflictivas donde, en ocasiones, pueden suceder eventos de este tipo. Algunas de ellas provienen del mercado legal producto de robos en domicilios, así es. No conozco el barrio La Vera e ignoro en que ciudad está, por si quieres comentarme. Y si, efectivamente, la violencia armada en España no existe, se podría decir. En general, cómo comentas, la mayoría de los ciudadanos en España ignoran que se pueda poseer un arma corta siendo civil. Esto es debido al rechazo absoluto a las armas en general y más en las calles, sumado a la nula posibilidad de poseerlas legalmente, salvo en determinados casos muy puntuales y escasos. Poder pasear a cualquier hora con total tranquilidad por casi cualquier parte de España sin miedo a asaltos, robos y otros delitos produce una sensación de seguridad que no tiene precio, aunque en general, los españoles estamos acostumbrados a esta paz y no lo advertimos. Como nota añadir que si han aumentado los hurtos o robos al descuido por la inmigración masiva en determinadas grandes ciudades, pero todos en general, sin violencia alguna. La llegada desde el norte de África de "alérgicos" al Jamón de cerdo, búlgaros, rumanos etc. que no todos vienen a trabajar honradamente, han aumentado las estadísticas en este aspecto. Toda inmigración regular procedente de Norte América, Centro América, Sudamérica, la mayoría de Países Europeos, Koreanos, Japoneses, Australianos y algunos otros, es inmigración de calidad apreciada en España. Personas formadas, en general, que vienen a trabajar honradamente e invertir en el país.

Our cost of living is higher now because we live in a socialist country. Government is abusing us with taxes, controlling rental prices, and so on. Stop complaining and do better with your own life. I've been an emigrant myself and I've lived in countries much more expensive than Spain such The Netherlands, Germany or Austria (and I've been working in the U.S as well) and as a self employed, the only thing I needed to do is work well.

Only differences I've noticed would be if you need physiotherapy or a psychologist because they are too oversaturated in public healthcare. But if you save those 2K+ a year for private healthcare. If you ever need either of those, you can pick whichever you want with what you saved.

Muy bueno el vídeo, aunque hay cosas que como español, me gustaría matizar. Ustedes pueden encontrar calidad de vida y disfrutar de España; de nuestra cultura, comida, lugares, gentes... Pero recuerdo que esto también ha de ser recíproco. Que nosotros los españoles también queremos encontrar y disfrutar de expatriados estadounidenses que sean civilizados, educados y respetuosos con el lugar donde están. Por ejemplo el Aventurero Elliot, es muy seguido aquí en España y si veis sus vídeos, ya veréis por qué. Aquí pensad que tenemos cierto estigma social hasta vuestro país, porque se nos difama constantemente como cultura y como civilización; a través e Hollywood básicamente. Eso sí, los españoles sabemos diferenciar entre los que mandan en EEUU, que son enemigos silenciosos de España y del Pueblo Español... y entre el estadounidense de a pie como usted o como ustedes, que viven ajenos a ello, y que no tienen culpa alguna en eso. Pero entiendan que aquí no le tenemos, en general, mucho aprecio precisamente a EEUU y a la cultura anglosajona en específico. Pensad que nuestra cultura es católica y española, eso es lo que veo que choca más cuando un extranjero no hispano, viene. Aquí no llego el mensaje de Calvino, de que tu vida de debe basar en metas terrenales como ganar dinero y compararlo todo en base al Dios Dinero; como precisamente ya se ve en el vídeo, de money money money... aquí el dinero se valora como lo que es "algo para intercambiar a cambio de productos o servicios", ya depende de ti los productos y servicios que necesites. Aquí aún se estila el Honor, el de que para todo buen español católico el Honor y la Gloria son más deseable que el Dinero y el Poder... Aquí da igual de donde vengas, quiénes fueron tus padres, nos da igual tu color de piel (cosa que allí parece importaros bastante); aquí tu eres responsable de tus actos. Si aquí continúas actuando como un estadounidense, se te va a tratar como estadounidense y no como español; es algo que pienso que es totalmente lógico, incluido el idioma... si tú no aprendes español, no esperes que te consideremos español o compatriota; eres un estadounidense viviendo en España, como indica el vídeo, porque continuas viviendo igual que vivías en EEUU, sin cambiar culturalmente, que es lo que se espera de ti como inmigrante que eres. Ese punto que acabo de poner, si lo entendéis; disfrutaréis aquí el que quiera venir. Ya os digo, yo como compatriota español veo al Elliot Aventurero, porque él es español, porque ya no es culturalmente estadounidense... ese es el cambio con el que se disfruta de verdad España. Los del vídeo ya digo yo, por como valoran las cosas y tal, que seguramente seguirán siendo estadounidenses viviendo en España; y no españoles nacidos en EEUU.

Otro que se ha tragado la propaganda de Academia Play y similares. La cultura española está mal representada en Hollywood porque Hollywood malrepresenta literalmente TODAS las culturas (muy a menudo incluso la propia estadounidense, de hecho, sobre todo la de los estados sureños), no porque "los dirigentes de USA sean el enemigo silencioso de España y el pueblo español". Por dios, es que esa idea de que el mundo anglosajón tiene una especie de odio marcado a fuego en su ADN cultural que les hace dedicar buena parte de su crédito cultural a menospreciar la hispanidad solo puede calificarse de patético. Ni el Nigel Farrage le dedica más de media neurona a pensar en España. Tendría más sentido estar resentidos siguiendo la idea de "no hay mayor desprecio que no hacer aprecio", pero no, os habéis autoconvencido de algo que raya en la conspiranoia.

What I wonder is how they managed to get a residence visa for Spain. Is it really that easy for US Americans to go to Europe and live there?

From what they say about tik tok, they will have done the residency by registering as autonomos (a self-employment model). There are student visas, non-lucrative visas, digital visas... There are really quite a few options.

In order to register as Spanish, this child (in addition to being born here) must wait 5 years, living continuously in the country and be registered by his or her parents or legal guardians.

My cousins were born in the UK in the early 80's (before Spain was a member of the EU) to Spanish parents, and were considera British until they turned 18 when they could choose Esther nationality (but not both due to Spanish regulations at the time.

@@foreignreacts Dont pay attention to those comments because in Europe burocracy is quite complex in general. I lived in Germany and its a hell of a mess, and in France or Italy... no sh*t... forget about it. The americans hear about burocracy problems in Spain and they simply repeat that mantra, but the complexity is mainly at the beginning. When you start its complex specially if you come outside the EU, mainly because you must justify a lot of things and get your papers done, but once you are settled and everything is in order then it runs much smoother. Of course if you compare it with Northamerica you will have the impression that burocracy is horrible. There you can start up your business in much much easier way. Another problem the americans normally have is related to taxes, but Spain is in the average in comparison with the rest of EU countries. Anyway, it is true that you pay taxes like 35-36 % but you have also quite a lot of benefits like safety, good public transport, clean and well maintained parks, nature and of course free Health Care. If they detect that you have... lets say... a serious cancer, they will do the surgeon and apply the treatment with no cost because its already paid with taxes. Its a change of mentality, just that....

No nos confundamos, los precios del mercado inmobiliario los suben los propietarios. Si los bancos y sociedades varias estuvieran obligados a poner en venta/alquiler todos los pisos que tienen en su posesión, los precios bajarían porque la oferta sería más alta que la demanda. Ahora hay más demanda que oferta así que el que se queda con el piso es el que puede pagar más (extranjero o no).

Si son autónomos viven con precios de aquí, pagando impuestos de aquí (excesivos bajo cualquier punto de vista) y comprando a precio de aquí. De cartas marcadas, nada. Y si trabajas para una empresa y te desplazan, cobras más. ¿O tú quieres ir a Finlandia a trabajar a sueldos de España? Venga, no me hagas reír. No. Los que viven del Estado tienen muy pocas posibilidades de progresar económicamente porque su sueldo no depende de cuánto trabajan. Los autónomos, por el contrario, si queremos ganar más, trabajamos más. Culpa a los impuestos excesivos de tu bajo nivel de vida, no a la gente que viene a ganársela.

The word expat is useless, if you leave your country of origin to live in a foreign country, you're an immigrant. Nothing wrong with being an immigrant, I just find it funny how rich people move here and think they're different for it. Also, people come with their much higher foreign salaries to Spain and gentrify and rise up the prices for people who actually live here. It is getting out of control.

"Spaniard" es una posible traducción para español siempre que se use como nombre. Es decir, puedes decir "I am a Spaniard", pero no puedes decir "I am Spaniard". No obstante, "Spanish" puede usarse tanto como nombre como adjetivo, así que ambos son correctos en ese sentido. Eso sí, que sepas que esto es algo muy habitual en inglés. Por ejemplos, existe "Swede/Swedish" para Suecia, "Dane/Danish" para Dinamarca, "Finn/Finnish" para Finlandia, etc. Sobre lo de "Spanish + Bastard", eso es un medio bulo. Es más bien que ambas palabras usan el sufijo alemán "-ard", el cual se puede encontrar en palabras como "buzzard" o "drunkard". Y aunque es cierto que originalmente tenía connotaciones negativas ("-ard" funciona un poco parecido a "-uch/a" en español) no fueron los ingleses quienes inventaron la palabra, sino que fue por influencia de la palabra francesa "Espaignart" (que también tiene ese sufijo por influencia del alemán). De todos modos esta palabra existe en el inglés desde el siglo XV como mínimo, así que su connotación negativa se perdió hace siglos ya.

@@XanderVJ Sea como fuere y pintémoslo de la manera que lo pintemos buscando "coincidencias" etimológicas, históricas y gramaticales, todos sabemos de donde procede dicho término aunque quiera ser blanqueado por cierta esfera. No veo por ningún lado Swedards, Daniards ó Finniards, así que tan habitual en inglés no puede ser. "Sobre lo de "Spanish + Bastard", eso es un medio bulo ...De todos modos esta palabra existe en el inglés desde el siglo XV como mínimo, así que su connotación negativa se perdió hace siglos ya". En qué quedamos exactamente, ¿es un medio bulo o existe?, porque parece algo contradictorio. Dudo mucho que tal "palabra" exista en el inglés desde el Siglo XV cómo mínimo. Veamos; "La primera gramática del inglés aparece en Londres en 1586, casi un siglo después de la aparición en España de la gramática de Nebrija. Este retraso relativo puede quizá en parte ser debido a las particulares vicisitudes por las que tuvo que pasar la lengua inglesa para llegar a ser considerada una lengua de cultura". Hay que recordar que yo soy Español no Mejicano y somos mucho menos propensos a ser engañados, adoctrinados o embaucados.
