The cost of living here is a lot lower than the UK, but we could never survive on €900 a month.
Keeping horses isn't cheap.......but that's the wife's interest (like bikes is mine), and as she was never able to have them in the UK I don't begrudge a penny going on them.
I'm lucky that my work isn't physically demanding, so as long as I can tap a keyboard and click a mouse I can keep doing it. Having said that, I couldn't do nothing like most of these Brits here.......I have to have something to keep me busy.
That was really brought home to me during the Covid lockdown......I was so desperate to actually do something I end up launching this fucking place! Now that's desperation.
