Im 28, decent savings with a job thats unfortunately rooted here. No family reunification, limited savings (enough to live in any country not enough for a golden visa) and no degree. Im not entirely sure how to leave but i REALLY want to. When this all started i asked an AI for its top picks. NZ was first but i realized without a job in a necessary field it wasnt going to be easy for me. So i had my eyes set on moving to portugal. I visited, got a portuguese tutor and thought i could use rental income as passive income but apprently i had to prove it wouldnt run out.

Spain and ireland were also options for me but i havent figured out a way for any of these without going to school there. My concerns are the fact that i havent been in school for 10, and i dont want to have to move to an area i dont enjoy just for the college and im truly at a loss here. Any help, advice, direction would be wonderful. Im ready to go, willing to learn a language, put in the effort 100%, i just need help figuring all this out.

So ive been wanting to leave the u.s. for about a year. I did some heavy research on countries that would fit my life style and spain wasnt my first choice but is on the list. After doing some consultations and actually visiting the countries on my list, im on to spain. Ive gotten here not because i didnt like other countries but because of visas or difficult path to residency. I want to live in a country i can stay in forever. Im only 28 and have a savings but not golden visa level savings so practicality is important. I speak very little spanish, probably enough to talk to a child. My thought is to practice my spanish and get a student visa and try and find a college that teaches in english.

What are some pros and cons about spain from your personal experience? I always try to talk to natives and expats who reside in the country to get personal opinions before i take the trip to visit. I appreciate any input!

P.s. i have considered a digital nomad visa but i dont think i can get a work from anywhere job that pays enough. I currently work a physical job here in the u.s.
