Mother finds affordable living and relaxed lifestyle in Spain

A mother named Jennifer has moved from the UK to Spain with her three children. She now pays only £377 a month in rent and lives near a beautiful beach in Galicia. Jennifer has shared her experiences online. She mentioned that living in Spain does not involve the hectic school runs typical in the UK. Instead, everything feels more relaxed. Children at school are greeted with hugs, and they have shorter school hours, from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, followed by a healthy lunch. In addition to affordable rent, Jennifer's monthly expenses are low. She only pays about £58 for electricity, £20 for water, and £33.50 for Wi-Fi for her family of five. Comparatively, average rent in the UK is currently £1,301 a month. Life in Galicia offers warm weather, making evening park visits normal and enjoyable. Despite some cultural adjustments, like later dinner times, Jennifer feels that Spain is a safer place to raise children compared to the UK. Her TikTok post about her new life has gone viral, attracting over 151,000 views. Many users praised her choice, with comments expressing a desire for a similar lifestyle. Jennifer seems pleased with her decision, enjoying both the scenic environment and the community spirit in Spain.
