Northern Spain / Galicia DNA

Do you think it’s possible ancestry could put this into the England and Northwestern Europe/ Welsh category?

I hope ancestry will redo their Iberian reference panel one day. For having one parent that I believe is a modern day mestizo mix, I only got 5% Spanish total and 6 percent Sephardic Jewish with 14% indigenous Mexican. That seems really low for a full Hispanic parent.

Keep living w my Grandfather or get my first apartment?

[27 M] I’ve been living with my grandfather since highschool. I’ve been living here rent free and bill free since. I’m 27 about to be 28, work a 70k annual job, invest and save 50-75% of my income every month. Have a good emergency fund already, and definitely ahead financially right now. I love my area and want to stay close, cheapest good apartments are 1300-1600 for a 1 bed 1 bath - 500-750 sqft.

He’s not in the best health/75 years old and is giving me the house down the line. Should I stay and input money to renew the house now or go out and live by myself for some time to experience bills etc.. I’m at a crossroads. To keep getting ahead financially or to have some freedom with expense for some time.

Any advice would be appreciated.

To me it was always a nationality, not an ethnicity. I’ve never thought Mexican was an ethnicity, and just a shorthand people use because they don’t know any better.

Would you say French and Mexican work both as nationalities and ethnicities for example?

Someone please enlighten me.

I look like my outlier DNA which is small 2-6 percent! Have no cultural connection to them either. Does it make sense to stick with your core ones even when you don’t look the part?
