The Number .... retirement.

Just curious - has anyone used James Shack’s services in a private capacity?

[Scepticalist]

For Spain, we have plenty of friends who live there on under £20k p.a. (owner occupiers, so no mortgage) and still go out to eat once a week (though any kind of regular holidays elsewhere, particularly long haul are generally off the cards). As above £25k would see most people to a decent standard of living unless you have expensive tastes or want to eat out almost every night.

It really does depend on your spending habits, but certainly a lot less than UK.

He works for a company called Octopus Wealth and I have had some consultations with them but in the end didn’t proceed. Wasn’t something I needed but they were very professional, maybe worth a shout if you need some IFA advice. There are some IFAs on here if you need any help.

Word... from 13 years of experience.

Plan your Fiesta- ing correctly and some days, nights you´ll eat well for free! Plus dance, foam party, walk the greased pole to win a Jamon, ride a mechanical bull and much much more!

This video does a good job at illustrating the requirements.
