The long and deep economic recession that started in 2008 is having a very negative impact in the Spanish economy. In 2013 the unemployment rate reached 26 percent. Anna lost her job as an accountant and I had no chances to promote in my academic career. We considered the possibility to migrate to the UK where Anna and I met, married and lived between 1994 and 2001. I went to the academic job market in 2013 and got a permanent job position as Reader in Economics at the University of Sheffield. We moved in September 2013 and Anna started working for Sheffield Forgemasters in January 2014.
