Hi, i have finally talked my wife in to moving to Spain, with a few conditions!!!! .firstly we can't sell our house here as we want to leave it for our Daughter,this of course is a bit of a hurdle,as we don't have enough savings to buy somewhere in Spain,also she wants to move to Malaga,as we have a few friends there. I currently work as a driver/handyman/security for a wealthy family in London and my wife is a teaching assistant, doe's anyone have any idea if i will be able to find a similar job? I am sure my wife will be able to find a job teaching english but i am not sure about my chances,any advice or leads will be greatly appreciated.,would also love to hear from anyone who has moved in similar circumstances.Many Thanks John

If you were a friend or family, from what at you have posted, I would say stay where you are.

However, you say you have friends in Malaga. I suggest you chat with them. They know you and your circumstance so should be able to give you more to-the-point advice.

Thanks for your advice, a lot of people have said the same, jobs hard to find, low pay, etc , i still want to give it a go but as i am no spring chicken, i need a plan, 30 years ago i would have just got a flight and worried about the rest when i got there!! Thanks again and all the best
