    Nice. We have found a nice villa on La Torre golf resort, that we are very tempted to buy but also looking at Mar Menor. 

     

    La torre is where we’re heading, looks a lovely set up. Could see myself in retirement going for an early run / game of golf and relaxing by the pools in the afternoon.  It’s our retirement target!
    Nice. Will see you on the 1st tee one day.

    I couldn’t sleep last night so was looking at meta
    Facebook is enough to send anyone to sleep!
    With the Meta share price down 35% over the past month. Being asleep could be extremely costly.

    Thankfully would never invest in that. I did so well with my 6 shares in my ISA. Made just shy of 20% since November but sold all on Friday as got spooked by Russia. I have started filling my wife IsA now and investing in Vangaurd and will be doing the same with my ISA once this Russia thing blows over.

  • What is the impact of brexit if wanting to retire to Spain? I thought max stay is around 90 days?
    It's just my opinion and not advice.
