The good news is that I don’t have to pay a dime for the new unit as my owner is going to foot the bill for me.
I have very little expenses living on the Spanish coast other than rent and utilities.
I don’t need a car there and food is really cheap compared to the cost here in the USA. If I live with a flatmate in my three bedroom two bath flat then I can get by each month spending about $1250 for everything including food. I only work 20 hours a week for the heating and cooling corp each week, probably closer to 15 hours, and am still able to stash away several hundred a month into my bank account. If I got a second flatmate then I could be living for closer to $600 a month, but then it would be a bit too cramped in my flat for us all. I may work a bit more for the HVAC contractor and try to dump more money into my crypto account because they seem to have really hit the bottom over the past few months. I don’t see them going much lower, but then again that is what I thought when it hit a bottom last year. My heating and cooling boss may have some more work for me when I get back doing some HVAC tune up jobs, which will give me probably five or six hundred more a month in income. If the cryptos explode again this year or next then I will be sitting pretty once again.
