May I suggest that you look into acquiring a Bulgarian retirement visa? It's extremely cheap and easy to acquire and can get you 'Schengen Rights' meaning you won't face the same travel restrictions in Europe that the post Brexit retiree Brits face. Then you would be able to stay in Spain for extended periods. Property/accommodation prices, food and transportation all very affordable in most cities in Bulgaria. Health insurance is negligible or free if using a UK GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) issued for free by the UK Government. Yippee! Though there is a requirement for life insurance. Definitely worth looking into for a bloke in your position I reckon. As always the 'devil is in the detail' but I think this could be a viable option for you. Whatever you decide I wish you the best and have enjoyed your Thailand vloggs immensely.

@tbjdiamonddog that's good, always have first class insurance for your bike or car here. It costs money but covers you for roadside and any damages to anything. Even covers if you have to be in hospital but it's good to have health insurance as well incase anything happens here. They're my 2 largest expenses every year but worth having so we're never stuck with a 10k USD bill or more to have to go to go hospital. I know a few foreign friends who self insure themselves by having a certain amount of money but they're quite wealthy which I'm far from.

No offence, but Martin Lewis, you ain’t 😂 But you said as much in the video. Budget videos are always interesting to those of us hoping to move out there. So am I right in saying accommodation inc utilities and deposit (which you may not get back, depending on landlord) around £6k GBP for the year. Food, clothes, at about £1.3k for the year? The rest looks like optional (Vespa, watches)…but you/“the royal we” would have to pay for transport somehow….
