<br>Sandra Laurie loaded her bags along with her hubby Warner and their two children, Oliver, 12 and nine-year-old Abi, in 2017, and transferred to Costa del Sol.<br>[bluearchinteriors.com](http://www.bluearchinteriors.com/)

<br>'We had been there lot of times over the years on vacations and visiting, but something altered on the trip in 2016 - we truly started to assess and evaluate that there needed to be a much better lifestyle.'<br>
<br>At the time, Ms Laurie and her hubby were investing triple their regular monthly mortgage costs on child care alone. That, coupled with the increasing cost of living across Ireland, was making 'life incredibly hard' for the couple.<br>

<br>'Our mortgage was only EUR600 (₤ 500) a month, however childcare was a staggering EUR1,857 (₤ 1,568) [monthly](https://www.munrorealty.com.au).<br>
<br>'It took in the majority of our disposable income. We were [basically](https://www.propbuddy.my) working to pay for somebody else to raise our kids.'<br>

<br>'Nursery costs can be greatly subsidised or free, [main school](https://asbrealty.com.au) is totally free, and it starts at three years of age, and after-school care is heavily subsidised for working moms and dads.<br>

<br>'Living abroad, particularly in Spain, has offered us something we never ever had in Ireland: time. Time to delight in life, raise our kids, build a business, and grow, not simply survive.<br>
<br>'Ireland will constantly be in our hearts, however we have found our future here.'<br>
