Nearly half of what we are making in Canada. Although willing to live a different lifestyle in return for amazing weather and a beautiful experience, we certainly don't want to be too broke to do anything!!! Can anybody offer some insight?

I worked in a Las Palmas school for a couple of years and was on the same pay as you guys. Property rental will be your greatest expense as will travel back and forth from Canada. You will trade in a comfortable but highly regulated lifestyle in Canada for a liberal relaxed outdoor existance with enough money to live comfortably, but don't expect to save much. Las Palmas does have many cloudy days and can be cool, but you will never need the heating on!
