2025 is under way, Genocide Joe is packing up his bags, getting ready to stumble off into the sunset. And what’s coming is worse apparently (although 60.000 Palestinians might beg to differ, if they weren’t dead already). And you’re still scrolling through properties on the other side of the Atlantic. Will I go live in Spain, won’t I.
“Oh no, the golden visa is coming to an end, why didn’t I act sooner….”
“Argh! The Spanish government is putting a new non-resident tax on buying property. I’ll never get the home I want now.”
“A wealth tax? I thought the commies lost the civil war”

Well, if you are talking like that you definitely won’t get here, because that’s loser talk, you’re weak and to be honest we don’t want you here. Stay over there with the techbros and the vaccine denial and the chlorinated chicken.

However, if you are ready, pull on those big boy pants and get over here. There is still plenty of time to get the GV if you move fast, and any extra tax for foreigners buying here is a good while off still, if it ever happens. (And if the wealth tax applies to you, well congratulations, that puts you in the wealthiest 0.003% of the world’s population, cry me a river).

Like moving fast enough to buy this excellent apartment with pool near the riverbed. 6 bedrooms – and no, none of them are very big by US standards. What are you going to do, run away home to tell Uncle Donny? Built with top materials, including actual concrete and steel, not straw (Never read the Three Little Pigs guys!). Great terrace and a fully equipped kitchen. No home inspections here by the way. Washing machine goes wallop the day after you sign? Tough luck. Blink back those tears and buy yourself a new one. Well done, you are now an adult.

As the old saying goes :- If you can’t handle Spain’s redistributive tax system, then you don’t deserve our functioning public health system, almost free mass transit system and mixed-use urban planning. Catchy, isn’t it? I’m getting some bumper stickers made up. I hope they’ll fit on our dinky little European cars.
