Being an expatriate.
Due to the huge economical and financial crisis, lots of people in Spain have to go abroad to find a job.
I was born and rised in Spain, in a small city. And all of my life I've been living here, so I can't not imagine how hard is living far from your family and friends.
I work as civil servant. My wife was also civil servant, she worked as high school teacher, and now she is unemployed.
My salary has been cut in more or less 21% in last three years, so our live style is being changing.
Less money: less shopping and less leisure.
And also we are beginning to talk about going abroad.
The most probably is that we won't go abroad, and stay here waiting for better days, but who knows?
Thank you in advance for your comments and corrections.

Well done Daniel!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm from Belgium and I realize more and more how lucky I am. Although I'm afraid this crisis will affect all European countries at the end...
I've read about the Spanish crisis in the newspapers, but those are telling the stories of financial institutions. We are being informed about political decisions that are made to save the Spanish economy. We're not often being informed about the Spanish people who have to deal with this.
People of my age (28) hardly have any future perspectives. They are almost forced to leave the country and look for a job abroad. This must be such a hard decision to make.
I hope you and your family can cope with this situation without having to leave Spain. I wish you all the luck!
