You've probably heard it in the news. Spanish unemployment rate is crazy and what not. Well, in reality, there are jobs, the catch is the conditions of them.

Spain is a weird country. Everything works, you can get goods and services from both private and public sector on par with the best european countries. Crime is really low, people are civilized and so on. But man, this job market is not typical of a developed country.

I've always been a happy dude but lately since I've finished college and started working I've been hating life so much. I don't know what to do desu.

You may think I may be working some menial job, but I'm actually working in a fucking private equity boutique. Position is associate, with progression to operations manager making 30k in 2-3 years (now I'm at 15k). If you are from out of Spain, you will be laghing at this point. Guess how much a KPMG manager with about 7years exp makes? Yes, about 30k. My job also is very very stressful, since lately I've been assuming most of the manager functions.

The situation is ridiculous, now on passive income thanks to what I've made with Bitcoin and other projects during university, I'm making more than a week of work per month without putting a single hour.

COL doesn't compensate for this, since a lot of goods are imported (think fuel, cars, electronics...) You can eat outside for 4€ or go to a bar, which is what most people do to spend their time.

DESU, I want a way out, but don't know what or how to do it. I'm working on FIRE, saving 80% of what I make. But I guess best option would be to leave the country. What do you guys think?

For a normal person, we are talking about minimun wage 800€ per month full time and having to relocate, with a temporal contract.

We are talking about 500€ per month for "part time" which is in reality full time. Temporal contract.

Or 800€ per month doing contracting work for only one company (this is called false contracting).

A lot of people in this situation choose not to work and live off of welfare, smalls gigs or family money.

Holandeses, alemanes, y británicos suelen retirarse en españa, un par de abuelos británicos te van a dar 1000 veces menos problemas, van a pagar siempre y en general en verano se va de vacaciones (dices que los meses de verano los cobras al doble) y ya decides si quieres disfrutar tú de tú piso o seguir alquilandolo.

Opciones mas rentables son bajos comerciales, pero son mas inestables (los negocios suelen fallar en sus inicios) pero son mejores en grandes ciudades, necesitas más capital.

Y la opción con mas riesgo es la que te comento de jugar a la carta de Vox.

If I can do it you can too. would look into affiliate marketing, copywriting, infomarketing or such sorts. not easy but very doable. heck I started out writing content on upwork and made like 20 grand a year. a braindead monkey could do that. with low wages like in spain, if you speak english, you got it made son.
