๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ The Spain Bridge

Sanson is already there. Use it as a launchpad.

Sanson runs a retreat business in Spain with very low living costs. This is a ready-made stepping stone. Janine and Ashley moving to Spain for 12โ€“18 months transforms their financial position from "barely surviving" to "Uruguay-ready" โ€” while testing collective living safely.
