What's wrong with pensioners?

They left their multiple real estate back home so your kids can emigrate there and rent it, but your kids will have to work hard actually and unfortunately. On the bright side once your kids come back from emigration, they can in turn start catering to them.

- poorer generally

- don't add economic value

- more health care expenses

The British and German governments pay for the healthcare of their pensioners living in Spain via intergovernmental reimbursement agreements so the healthcare expense to Spain is in fact zero. They also provide a significant economic net benefit to Spain by injecting billions in "imported wealth" through real estate taxes, year-round consumption, and foreign-funded pensions.

You mean EHIC card? It's only for medical emergencies, then UK freewillingly left the EU.

Because the trend is over and people stopped living of sweepstakes calling that nomad lifestyle does not mean it's over?
