A lavish lifestyle is having a house in your country of birth and two \u201cabroad\u201d rent-free.<\/p>

Lavish is weekly remittances from the Bank of Spain. A lavish lifestyle is having a business handed to you and still getting paid whether or not the business makes money. Now that\u2019s lavish<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lavish is long-haul trips to the USA and UK in business class and luxury European cruises. Lavish is dining at fine restaurants. Lavish is quitting your job! That\u2019s lavish.<\/p>
