Hi guys, we took your advice on the silver coast and moved from the Algarve to Caldas de Rainha. It’s a true gem where average Portuguese live! 15 minutes to the beach. We can walk to the open air market with most beautiful vegetables and fruit I ever seen one place! Loving Portugal.

[@anglinst]

I'm glad people fall in love with my city

[@POVTours]

Pro tip: housing is usually more expensive in the summer in Portugal, because there's a lot more tourists (even in the non-touristy cities), so more demand for accomodation. However, the opposite is usually true for college-towns, like Coimbra. The University of Coimbra has a lot a students from all over the country (and abroad). When they all go home in June - July until September that's usually a good period to look for housing 😊😊

[@OurRichJourney]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@mrsiz218]

The information this channel shares is GOLD! You know what? So, I’m getting ready to go through chemo and the type of breast cancer I have is aggressive and rare. Hopefully, they got it all with surgery and chemo and radiation should knock out anything missed. Not gonna lie, I thought my dreams of living in Portugal were done. I’ve since gotten my fire back and look forward to making the move. I googled cancer care in Europe and the two spots that offer the best? UK and Portugal! Just another thing to reaffirm my decision! I’m so excited! Thank you for all you do! You guys help keep my dreams alive! ❤️❤️❤️

First let me say Thank you. All 4 of you have changed my mind set tremendously since came across your channel over 2 years ago. And yes, even your daughters deserve a thank from me as well after seeing how they was able to hold there own and the level of knowledge after momentarily taking over your channel ..lol.. I am now putting my son(7) in the position to be financially sound by the time he turns 18. So again thank you.

I spent Christmas in Portugal while on a study abroad program in Spain back in my college days in the eighties. After college I lived in Brazil. Fast forward now. I am now 58 years old, speak Portuguese and Spanish, and ready to check out Portugal for retirement. Thanks you guys for a wealth of information!

[@claudiavierneisel6339]

We just flew from Monterey County, CA this week and walking around Lisbon hoping to bump into you guys! 🤗. Love your channel and agree with everything you say. We retired 10 years ago at 48 years old. Not too hard to do if you put your mind to it. Keep up the good work, you are inspiring many folks. Time to walk the Lisbon hills looking for some of your ice cream!

Death by animals?! I need to research New Zealand some more!

Haha🤣. I live in NZ and not sure what these animals are....sheep maybe? 🤣. We have no snakes, only one spider that has a toxin and such small numbers of these I have never seen one in the wild. Lots of flightless birds and a few possums, deer. No bears. Fairly benign really.

Thanks for the awesome information! I am planning a 3 week trip to Portugal next year to look at for early retirement in the next year or so from my Healthcare career at 55. I will still teach, but I am ready to move abroad. I have looked at Costa Rica and Indonesia. And now Portugal. I am checking out at least 5 cities for a feel of the country so this information helps tremendously. 😊

[@JonVonPrehn]

The premise of the video is living outside Lisbon or Porto, but I know that those two cities in particular interest many people, so sharing also a different perspective. I'm living in Lisbon for 35$/day (30EUR). Housing is the main factor driving cost, so if you are willing to purchase property here you can really reduce your monthly expenses. I'm living in a duplex with a garden 15 minutes away from City Centre by walk for 320€/month. Average monthly budget of just under 1000€, and naturally the monthly budget per person could be a good deal lower if a couple shared expenses. Portugal is a great place to live, and both the people and culture is fantastic, so I would encourage anyone to give it a try :-)

Two questions, please: I've heard that many houses in Portugal are often not as well insulated as the US and can result in miserable winters or overly hot in the summers. Has that been your experience? The next question is about the cost of electricity there for a house with a family of 4 or 5.

Those grocery costs sound like a starvation diet. Our American food costs four our family of three, which admittedly include a hungry 20 year old and a tendency towards health food is around $500 a week and that includes no eating out.
