Why does Italy BEAT Portugal? Or Does it?

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

Do you like Spain or Italy better? Thanks in advance. I like Spain, Italy and Portugal as retirement options

[@elsamcewan1168]

Love the footage of Paul Do Mar, the village where I was born

[@ItllBeFun]

And we would live to be able to afford a home there! What a fantastic place!

[@John_McFadden]

Bom dia Alan, Leslie and Wolf! Excellent video that both shows the similarities between Portugal and Italy as retirement destinations but also contrasts their differences. Cheers!

[@ItllBeFun]

Olá! You are right. thanks for being here!

[@almarcano6964]

Grazie per il ballisimo video!

[@ItllBeFun]

Grazie! Obrigado! We thank you for your support! Have a fantastic day! Alan, Leslie and Wolf

[@zeitgeist888]

You do a good job of presenting facts and issues neutrally. It's nice to see when so many focus on selling their choice to others by pointing out the pros where they chose and the cons of other places.

[@ItllBeFun]

Bom dia! Thanks you for the compliment. We appreciate your support. Have a fantastic day! Alan, Leslie and Wolf

[@madscola]

I love Italy. We will try to go for a long trip to Italy soon. Maybe for a month or so. Just to try it before we commit to move to italy full time from our cold and flat Denmark

[@ItllBeFun]

Sounds perfect! A month would be good to let you explore areas to the one that will work for you.

[@strikedn]

NEVER come in Summer. The heat is shocking (I'm Italian)....unless you stay in the Alps.

[@ItllBeFun]

It's like the south in the USA.

[@alemassa6632]

For the precision, in Northern Italy we live with 30K at year in 4 people, at the South they need less.

[@ItllBeFun]

Thank you for sharing!

[@freedomfinancejourney1204]

Yea!

[@ItllBeFun]

Howdy! 🙂

[@ConanNYC]

I can’t wait to retire to Europe

[@ItllBeFun]

ConanNYC You will love it!

[@motylek8125]

not a good idea, war is on the way

[@ruinunes8251]

Hello guys. We hope you are all well.

[@ItllBeFun]

We are. Hope all is going well for you and your family. Let us know the next time you are back!

[@ruinunes8251]

@@ItllBeFun Sure we will.

[@raylivengood8040]

👍🏼

[@ItllBeFun]

Muito obrigado!

[@lifehealthcoaches5422]

Maybe Italy Is The place To Be!

[@ItllBeFun]

It's a very good choice.

[@cxar71]

As an Italian, I'd rather be in Portugal, but I guess the grass is always greener… 😅

[@ItllBeFun]

You are so right! The Portuguese always want to know why we would leave the USA. And the answer is really new experiences, adventure, meeting new people and becoming part of the culture. Fun! Exciting!

[@strikedn]

Depends on where you live in italy (I'm Italian).

[@ItllBeFun]

Where do you think is the perfect place in Italy?

[@NatGagui]

As an Asian (Filipino)-American who just came back from Italy today, I find most not all Italian are rude especially if you are an Asian. I thought my coworker was just joking when he shares the experiences of the rudeness of the Italian until i witness it to my own wife. I am more comfortable staying in Spain than Italy.

[@ItllBeFun]

Olá! We are truly sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day! Alan

[@xmaniac99]

Italy is not cheap, especially if you require private healthcare

[@ItllBeFun]

It is recommended that you purchase private health care regardless of which country you choose. Therefore it will need to be planned in your budget.

[@P3NGU1N10]

if you like far right,

[@ItllBeFun]

Thanks for watching

[@itsthegoodstuff]

So you are Pepsi people. Nuff said. I'm unsubscribing. OK, well on second thoughts I'll presume the cafe didn't have a better product. 😃

[@ItllBeFun]

We are coke people! Really truly we are!

[@jn1083]

Europe needs more geriatrics without children.

[@ItllBeFun]

Thanks for sharing. Have a great day

[@mateusquasetuga]

Best part of Portugal: no Italians or Spaniards (except at the tourist sites)

[@ItllBeFun]

We love the Italians, Spaniards, Portugueses and the Americans.
