So many Americans simply don&#x27;t understand what you&#x27;re saying. Having lived outside of the US myself for almost 10 years and planning to do so again, it&#x27;s a world of difference.<p>I&#x27;m in love with the entire Iberian peninsula, particularly the southernmost bits. It&#x27;s poor(er), beautiful in people and in landscape, the weather is nice most of the time, and things are affordable, even by the local sheep farmers. I won&#x27;t be getting rich, but I&#x27;ll be living and working on my own terms. Best part is, the wife is amenable to this after the children are out on their own. My wife is in the medical field. She can likely transfer her license and skills over. Heritage-wise, she&#x27;s from the area, so this is a bonus as well.
