Siempre me ha parecido trágico que tengas que renunciar a la nacionalidad estadounidense o te van a seguir cobrando impuestos incluso aunque estés en otro país.
A principal driver of the misconception is that American tourists go to Spain for a holiday; se enamoran; and expect that living in Spain is going to be the same as their 2 week holiday there. It creates impossible expectations – no country can be as fun of a place to live as it is to holiday.
Coming from NZ, I see the exact same thing happen. Many fall in love with NZ as they go around spending their strong USD currency. Then they get here, earn a NZ wage and have to live and work (and not holiday) and it falls apart for many.
A lot of these points are basically ‘i didn’t prepare properly before coming to Spain’. Also, 8400 euros for medical insurance for 2…i’m sure someone is ripping them off
