Shit ton of money and being prepared for huge taxes could help

Edit: turns out the taxes are better than in other places

    what huge taxes are you talking about? it's not that different from what you'd expect in the EU in general, lower than some and higher than others. Pretty typical for Western Europe.

    I would also dispute the "shitload of money" claim. Moving always costs money but I know bunch of people that moved from South America, Australia or Eastern Europe and none of them are rich. You really just need to be able to find a job. Any job. If you have a skill that's needed here you will be fine.

    20k a year is not a shitload of money. Of course no one is just going to give a job, apartment and Spanish wife just for coming in here but the system is not just of the wealthy. Normal people use it all the time.
