Looking to meet friends - Page 2

Hi Sue 61

If you have a house in the UK you might consider renting it out as that will greatly reduce your living costs here.

This is what I did and several of my female friends have done the same moving here in our mid 50s but we all owned houses here.

2 members in our club go back to the UK as carers for 2 to 3 weeks at a time and earn good money as they live in with their clients

Hope this helps

Since I’m not from the UK, I’m from the  US. I have no idea about working here yet. I just started looking for a job, hoping I’ll find something. 

 I will check it out

Thank you

Hi Sue 61

If you own a house in the UK you could consider renting it out and that will offset a lot of your living costs

This is what I did but I already owned a house here. I retired early and lived off the rent. 2 of my female friends did the same and we all arrived here in our mid 50's

2 of our club members return to the UK as carers for 2 to 3 week periods and earn good money as the live in with their clients

Hope this might help

Hi you say 2 of your friends return as live in carers ive been looking into this but someone on the forum advised me against it said you cant earn enough money to cover flights, rent ect only if you can would you find out more details about which agency and potential earnings ect as I may be  very interested in doing this if any of them could make contact with me even better, also do you know of any long term apartment rentals ( cheap ) please thankyou for your help appreciate it

Hi Sue 61

I've spoken to my friend Val and she earns £74 a day as a carer. She said you may get more depending what your qualifications are in the NHS.

It costs about £300 for the training/accomodation and police checks before you can start.

The agency is called Consultus and they are in Tonbridge Kent and the phone number is 01732355231

As I live in Orihuela Costa I do not know what flats are available in La Marina

that's great thanks if you speak to val again ask her if she recommends this live in carer thing and if she feels its viable to do im considering La marina but don't know the area so im open to suggestions thanks again

Hi,  There are lots of opportunities to meet people here - as people have mentioned there are several clubs and groups.  I know I am biased but volunteering is seriously a great way to not only meet people, make friends but also support the local community. If you would like to find out more, send me a pm and I may be able to direct you to one of the charities that suits your interests.

Best regards,

Bell

Could you please send me PM where I could reply back to, I don’t know how to do it ☺️
