Why did Spanish Obsessed go quiet for over a year? Rob and Lis explain, then take on a bigger question: how much money does it take to be happy? Lis looks back on student days when 10,000 pesitos a day covered lunch, photocopies and a beer. Rob asks whether happiness stops rising after a certain salary, and Lis remembers the dilemma she faced in England whenever her family came to visit.

Do you know what these mean?
arrancamos · si hay para dos, hay para tres · juicioso · ¿Me hago entender?
