Man, I love UA-cam! I grew up in environments that were full of drugs, violence, and other bad stuff. I didn't learn about managing money or investing until I stumbled on UA-cam videos like yours. These videos taught me to hope for better things, to be smarter with whatever money I have, and to make things happen. My life has improved a lot, thanks to you guys and others. Thank you so much! 👍😊
My dream is to find a good woman to share my life with; in a place of peace when I retire. Just me and her, in love, growing our own food, eating healthy and enjoying each moment until the end. That couple is so lucky to accomplish what they've accomplished together. Im happy for them. Im working hard to see the same thing.
There is good women out there... I pray you find the right lady...... what to look for in a lady; 1 A lady with faith 2 she is more like a ladylike then just a women 3 she speaks with respectfully, soft and calm in her speech 4 She dresses for you and not for attention... 5. She would be a mother and not name mother 6 she will be your right hand and support through good and hard times 7 She expresses love on a daily basis 8 she is prepared to hang out with everyday and doing things together 9. She will not get bored of you 10 she takes care of your finances and lives in a healthy balance lifestyle 10 she puts you first in everything 11 she happily visits your parents and treats them like their own 12 she does not talk behind your back instead utters good about And the list goes on.......... having faith and practicing faith is key to true happiness and success, as God is the one who can guarantee and you and your lady must strive and never give up hope in God..... think and live positive the above also applies to you.....
I was thinking the same thing. Simply due to the fact that they already have a well for water, and can grow a lot of their own food. Depending on the ROI, and the amount of sun that they get, it could be nice to be off the grid.
@@annekennedy8127 it's their house, they can do whatever they want with it. They have worked very hard to be able to be in the position they are in now. Who are we to tell them how to remodel the home??
A renovation series would be great. I love to see people renovate and improve their homes. That would be great to follow your journey in another way too. Greetings from Munich, Tom.
This just looks...healthy and happy. Looking forward to living a life like this, especially outside of America where things are cleaner and healthier 😅
This is the ULTIMATE video that shows what FIRE really is! We're all on our own journeys towards financial independence so this just inspires us even more! FIRE BABY FIRE! 🌟
@@alleiajames8229 Hey! I'm the same age and on the same journey, I'm car hacking right now but lifehacking in general. I'll probably buy a duplex in the next year or two.
I am also retired early and moving to Panama the pandemic actually make us think more and what we want for our family . Good luck to everyone stay safe.
Sky is blue because portugal is , 1 unpolluted country. 2 advanced in geen power and against nuclear . 3 we can still drinking water from most rivers safely . 4 most portugueses love the country, culture, history ,landscape. 5 that's why for many locals and foreigners portugal is a paradise for living !
Wait until you visit the islands of Azores Portugal the skies the water the fresh organic food just the way of living not that I'm trying to put the mainland down but if you think those skies are beautiful wait until you check our islands that I came from before moving to United States in 1980
I’m IN LOVE with the backyard and all the fruit trees and outdoor livability! And having seen some of your previous renovations, I’m sure the interior will see a DRAMATIC renovation! I wish I was as handy as you guys! Keep up the great content-you are SUCH an inspiration!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! You guys never cease to exceed my expectations when it comes to being inspired! I was looking forward to your home buying announcement and seeing what house you bought. This exceeds everything I expected and the fact that you bought the house in cash is so inspiring! Thank you for showing us what is possible with FIRE!
I’ve been saying this for a long time. A lot of marriages will flourish outside America,for some a different environment can be all you need for your peace of mind.
Marriage would not change by a different location, a different environment actually challenges your marriage much more than been on a familiar place does.
Congratulations on your beautiful home; what a great investment! Is is just me, or does anyone else think those bedroom floors are gorgeous!!?? Looking forward to the reno videos; especially of the blue bathroom!
the backyard is so beautiful. i feel like the family shots in the backyard look like they are from some uplifting family movie :) you guys rock. i made a joke to my husband that made him laugh. i was like "these people are meeting the standards i have, it's weird. well really surpassing them." LOL
Congrats!! Ya'll are really such an inspiration. I love your journey - I'm 26 and I am working towards living a financially independent life and seeing you both do it and do it well warms my heart! Thank you both!
This is my dream. Live in Portugal. I love that country and since I am Brazilian and I speak Portuguese it will be perfect. Waiting my retirement. Can’t wait to get out of NYC
You can do it. I say get out of NYC and it's high cost of living and get to Portugal sooner then later. 😉 You could definitely do it if you can make it in NYC
Incredible! Congratulations on finding such a gorgeous home. That yard is amazing! The price is almost unbelievable! I wouldn’t want to show you a similarly priced property in my city. Portugal is looking more and more appealing.
When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the second best time to plant one? Now. If you want an avocado tree, it only takes about a day to go to the plant nursery, buy the tree, and plant it. If you wait a year or two till the interior renovations are done, you will delay the maturity of the tree and fruit harvest from it by that amount.
I am really into gardening, so I would focus on the garden and getting that chicken coop going for the manure. It's how I have worked on my home. But, people have different priorities!
Congratulations on your beautiful home!! I would love to see a renovation series and all the great plans you have for this house!! Good luck on everything!
Trees take long time to grow, maybe would be better to plant the trees first before the renovation. Nice purchase, hope your family enjoy your stay in your new home.
Agreed. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." But you need to take the necessary time to decide where to plant it since you can't just move a tree.
I’m really proud of you guys! This is truly a dream come true in so many ways! Thanks for dreaming big, putting in the work and sharing your journey with us. It’s very encouraging to see black American families win especially in times such as these.
Guys- You are awesome and I am envious and impressed with what you achieved at the age of 39. At a time when ready to retire and want to explore places especially Europe and learning more about the opportunities to move, i wish i had known earlier and i am really Jealous (in a very respectful way..) of you guys enjoying finer things in life, than the life in US that is getting worse and ugly day by day. I am ready get out of expensive US life and enjoy a more relaxing and healthier life like yours. SUBSCRIBED on the first VIEW.
You guys are no joke. You got down to business the minute the keys were in hand. You're inspiring. Thank you! We moved just before things shut down and plan to buy a home but access to international schools is such a factor, I ruled out the Silver Coast. I need to redo my search. Any tips are welcomed. We are loving it here, even in the midst of a pandemic.
🎉🎉🎈🎈CONGRATULATIONS 🎈🎈🎉🎉💖 to the fam on this excellent find. What a beautiful home/land. I also want my backyard to be my grocery store! I love that fresh produce, but I need mangoes, too
I've been a viewer for a while, but now I'm feeling the need to go back to the beginning to some of the videos that I may have missed and to re-watch my favorites. It's a lovely home now, but I can't wait to see your spin on it. Your renos are always inspiring! All the best in your new nest!
The house looks amazing, perfect size for the family and not requiring too much cleaning time to maintain it. The backyard is huge, are you making a pool with the money you saved? haha. Looks amazing!!!
Our Rich Journey I am a home builder here in the US but I have ambitions towards retiring and building in Portugal so it would be great information to know. Thanks!
Andrew it would be great, yes. Renovation here in USA is very risky with un regulated chemical materials. I was chemically injured just from moving into our new home breathing in all the chemicals. Left me chronically ill. We did move and gut an old home using all non toxic materials from green building supply.com. Check them out. Great family owned business and a life saver for us. Everything is non toxic.
Going through the top floor, everything looked in such good condition I couldn't figure out why you would want to rip it our! The wooden floor was gorgeous as was the kitchen cabinets. I like wood cabinets, but I know that isn't everyone's taste. Very nice property.
Every renovation TV show, rips out great interiors to replace things with styles they'd likely rip out if they found it in another property. Waste of money.
Americans like their lawns but since moving to the Acores, I have come to see the benefits of a backyard garden- it really helps cut into the food bills. (Plus, the chickens and goat have something to eat). You have the best of both; a lawn and the orchard and garden! Keep going!!
Great place! I like everything as is, wouldn’t change anything. Especially the hard wood floors. where I come from in Wisconsin, we love hardwood floors! Congratulations on your move! I love Portugal as well, hopefully move there some day. Tim.
Very beautiful. I don't normally comment on videos but, this entire home space from the yard being big enough to grow your own food, to the house set up, fantastic!
Curious what it’s like to be African American there? I ask because my son in law isn’t happy in USA - do you speak Portugués? I live in Mexico, I grew up here- love it- but I think they would like Portugal more- because it’s more European-
@@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS I'm Portuguese and mixed-race (my Mother is black and my Father is white). Both on my fathers and mothers side there are several mixed-race couples and their children. My best friend is white as is his whole family. He has a black partner and a beautiful mixed-race daughter. We all live well and race isn't an issue at all. Does racism exist in Portugal? Of course, as it does in the rest of the world, but way less than in other European countries towards black people, imo. If they want to move to Portugal, racism will not be a problem.
Congratulations on the purchase of this beautiful home. Love the layout, the garden, front yard and more. Look forward to see how you are going transform it together with your own personal touches. Excited to see the renovations!! What a great rich journey!
I am so happy for you. Please know that since I have begun watching you in January 2020, my life has been inspired and changed! Thank you for educating me!
Beautiful home. Congratulations! I love Portugal, I have been to almost every city there from Algarve in the south to Montelagre in the north. Great food, great people and lovely weather.
This is amazing! My wife and I are on the same journey as you, we’re currently renting something in Lisbon and are looking to buy a house near the beach as well. Would love to meet up with you guys in Portugal!
Wow! What a find! Do you speak Portuguese? I moved from Michigan to Ireland 5+ years ago at 63 and bought a small, quirky house with cash... Love your place!
You should totally UA-cam any home improvement projects you do. I'm not a big Instagram guy (maybe because I'm 52?!?) but I'm totally jiggy with UA-cam and would love to see what you guys do with your new house!
Very happy for you guys! May your family live a happy prosperous life in Portugal. I have one comment on the renovation plans though. Personally I’d keep the downstairs kitchen, open it up to the living room and make the upstairs kitchen the 3rd room. I think you’ll want the kitchen and living room to be on the same floor while the rooms on a separate floor away from the living room noises and the sounds from upstairs. Also having a ground level kitchen is better for when you bring groceries - you won’t need to carry them all the way to the first floor. Good luck!
I'd love to see a renovation series that explains how to budget, costs, since you are doing it yourselves what are things you can totally do only the two of you and where you need to hire people, what about the tools (rent vs buy), etc....not just the visual pretty part, but the nitgrit of home renovation and economics! Congrats on the purchase!
The bedroom floors look great, consider keeping them. Would love this to be a series!!!! I have three questions: 1. Will you live in the house while you renovate? 2. Would you ever put in a pool? 3. Could the attic maybe be a airbnb situation in the far future? 🤔 anyways love this, love yall, congratulations!!
Congratulations,the price’s awesome.The floorings are amazingly new & nice,no need to change or renovate.The whole house looks great.We’re also planning to retire to Portugal,any relaxing area as we love the peace & quiet to relax,thks.Stay safe & cheers😊
It's incredible how you managed to save a lot of money by simply moving away from Lisbon. There for this price you would get a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment, and you managed to get a huge hou with two kitchens and an awesome back yard and also an amazing entrance. I also wonder who the previous owner was because it seems like he meant to rent the upper half of the house while living in the lower floor which is a very smart idea. Thank you for this video and for all your content in general 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
It is very typical for portuguese houses to have the upstairs being the "formal home" but live everday life dowmstairs only. The upstairs is usually only used for holidays and in some cases to sleep, if there aren't enough bedrooms downstairs.
Wow, guys, what a gem of a property! Congratulations, we're really happy to see you so excited, and can't wait to see what the renovations will look like. So please document them as well. You guys have inspired us to push for FI even harder. Watching your videos and learning from them has become a staple of our Sundays.
I love your house guys, it's BEAUTIFUL. The backyard and the gardens look like a modern homemade farm, amazing. Hope you have a great time living there. Can´t wait for the renovations. Keep rocking.

Are the kids learning Portuguese ?
love your talent and skills i am thinking of doing the same u both give me courage to do better most of all u u get to do stuff with your family
Those wood floors may be from rare trees that no longer grow depending on the age of the home. Be cautious about tearing them out!
The home is so great. I’m shocked that you’re going to remove those gorgeous hard wood floors, though.
Houses in Portugal in the winter get really cold and those floors don’t help.
Floors are beautiful, I'd just add rugs for warmth. Never as cold as New England or Scotland 😉
I wouldn't replace the wooden floors. It's a huge mistake to replace them.

That’s not a house, it’s an estate! Beautiful property guys, can’t wait to see the inside done, I know y’all will put life into it. 🥂
Lol
@Ace Lee Well said! 👌
There’s nothing wrong with the flooring in the bedroom. The wood looks good to me but the kitchen appliances needs updating.
Colbie Marris that’s what I thought. Those hardwood floors look amazing 😭😭😭😍😍
Love the renovation ideas. But I agree, the hard wood in the bedroom looks lovely and warm!
I agree, keep those beautiful hardwood floors! Congratulations on your new home and amazing life!!!
That’s what I was thinking!!
Add a dishwasher if possible! Saves so much water
If I had that beautiful house I definitely would keep those floors 😂
That house is awesome. Lots of space with 2 livable units. The "fruitful" backyard is priceless. Would love to see a reno series. Thanks for sharing.
This house screeeeeeems for SOLAR PANELS and BATTERY STORAGE
I'm curious as to why you say that?
@@sincerelysandi So am i
I was thinking the same thing. Simply due to the fact that they already have a well for water, and can grow a lot of their own food. Depending on the ROI, and the amount of sun that they get, it could be nice to be off the grid.
@@xmaniac99 the panels could also be placed on the ground..
I concur
I would leave the wood floors in the bedrooms, they look gorgeous!
That's what I was wondering, why take out beautiful floors?
@@annekennedy8127 it's their house, they can do whatever they want with it. They have worked very hard to be able to be in the position they are in now. Who are we to tell them how to remodel the home??
@@coreyflowers1256 THEY GOT MONEY TO WASTE

Me too. The floors are beautiful.
Mary Lou AUNTIE LOOPY The hardwood floors are gorgeous!

Why would you replace those beautiful floors? I would refinish them .... they look like quality wood floors absolutely beautiful!
Nobody wanna talk about how clean and beautiful the sky looks without all the chemicals floating up there
In the summer of 2017 i went to Portugal on vacation and the same i noticed! That's a great difference wity my homecountry The Netherlands!
The light of the sky in Lisbon is one of the best in the world....

This home is so beautiful you guys!! Congratulations, such a dream come true for your family. And even better that you have NO MORTAGE!!! Goals
I love this house. I'd change some light fixtures and move in. And those floors in the bedroom that you are replacing are gorgeous.
The wooden floors are everything. Definitely looks better than most of what I have seen on home renovation shows.
I’m IN LOVE with the backyard and all the fruit trees and outdoor livability! And having seen some of your previous renovations, I’m sure the interior will see a DRAMATIC renovation! I wish I was as handy as you guys! Keep up the great content-you are SUCH an inspiration!!

You guys found a hidden gem. Portuguese have great culture . congrats
You plan to change the bedroom floors?! Those bedroom floors are amazing.
Yeahh...I wish I have those floors.
I was thinking that too!! Love hardwood floors, and those are nice!
Just started following you guys and I'm already happy for you both. You guys look like a lovely couple.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Save your time and money and enjoy the beautiful floors that are already in those bedrooms.
Please don’t replace those lovely wood floors in bedrooms 1&2!!! (Think of the money you’ll save, too!)
Wow! Wow! Wow! You guys never cease to exceed my expectations when it comes to being inspired! I was looking forward to your home buying announcement and seeing what house you bought. This exceeds everything I expected and the fact that you bought the house in cash is so inspiring! Thank you for showing us what is possible with FIRE!
Wow - thank you so much! So happy to hear you're feeling inspired! Can't wait to share more with you!!!
I’ve been saying this for a long time. A lot of marriages will flourish outside America,for some a different environment can be all you need for your peace of mind.
Marriage would not change by a different location, a different environment actually challenges your marriage much more than been on a familiar place does.
That is easy for you to say! Let's start with love! Once you have that, a marriage will last anywhere!
Congratulations on your beautiful home; what a great investment! Is is just me, or does anyone else think those bedroom floors are gorgeous!!?? Looking forward to the reno videos; especially of the blue bathroom!

Forget about avocado trees 🌳 it take them 8 years to bear fruit, plant Mariguana and reap the harvest in 3 months...
Amazing house for an amazing price. I'm Portuguese from Braga and I can tell you that you made a great deal. Congratulations!
Wow! Thank you! 😃
Congratulations on your beautiful home!! I would love to see a renovation series and all the great plans you have for this house!! Good luck on everything!

But you need to take the necessary time to decide where to plant it since you can't just move a tree.

Keep those wood floors!!!!
Lovely home ❤❤❤
I don't see a darn thing wrong with the house. The kitchen is just fine, the floors are gorgeous.
Its their house, so if there is something they want to change, that's their business.
I feel so overwhelmed by how inspirational you guys are (Sunoa and Melea included)!!! You guys keep the FIRE burnin’!!!
For real, for real!! I'm so happy for them and so excited for our future!!

I'm curious as to why you're replacing those beautiful wood floors? Is there damage somewhere that doesn't show up on the video?
It is their home, not ours.

Every renovation TV show, rips out great interiors to replace things with styles they'd likely rip out if they found it in another property. Waste of money.
You two are so inspirational. Our FIRE date is 12 yrs from now. I thank God I found you both to help us on journey.
Having a couple of million and having the guts to retire are two completely different things... Respect to this couple
Congratulations you guys, the yard is incredible and the price has me considering moving to Portugal! Can’t wait to see how your renovations turn out!
The ultimate dream! The partnership, the retirement, the house, all of it!
“The back yard” ... is a truly beautiful 1 acre garden !
Americans like their lawns but since moving to the Acores, I have come to see the benefits of a backyard garden- it really helps cut into the food bills. (Plus, the chickens and goat have something to eat). You have the best of both; a lawn and the orchard and garden! Keep going!!
This has made my day! I'm so happy for you all! I can feel the FREEDOM!!! Even down to the background music you chose for this video😊
From the veggies and fruits to the outdoor living space, I’m in love with that backyard. Congratulations!!🥰
Thank you Terria!! 😊
Great place! I like everything as is, wouldn’t change anything. Especially the hard wood floors. where I come from in Wisconsin, we love hardwood floors! Congratulations on your move! I love Portugal as well, hopefully move there some day. Tim.
Very beautiful. I don't normally comment on videos but, this entire home space from the yard being big enough to grow your own food, to the house set up, fantastic!
renovation courses could be reallllllly cool too. Congrats on your new house, your videos always make me in a good and hopeful mood.
It’s so good to see good people living the life of their dreams. Your genuineness is obvious and refreshing. Congrats. Well deserved.

Curious what it’s like to be African American there? I ask because my son in law isn’t happy in USA - do you speak Portugués? I live in Mexico, I grew up here- love it- but I think they would like Portugal more- because it’s more European-
@@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS I'm Portuguese and mixed-race (my Mother is black and my Father is white). Both on my fathers and mothers side there are several mixed-race couples and their children. My best friend is white as is his whole family. He has a black partner and a beautiful mixed-race daughter. We all live well and race isn't an issue at all.
Does racism exist in Portugal? Of course, as it does in the rest of the world, but way less than in other European countries towards black people, imo.
If they want to move to Portugal, racism will not be a problem.
Wow! Love the beautiful garden with all the fruit and vegetables. ♥️ You know it's fresh and organic. And yes, for your Renos on UA-cam 👍
Your journey is impressive! I love the land and your home! Can't wait to see how you've added your personal touch!
Congratulations on the purchase of this beautiful home. Love the layout, the garden, front yard and more. Look forward to see how you are going transform it together with your own personal touches. Excited to see the renovations!! What a great rich journey!
I am so happy for you. Please know that since I have begun watching you in January 2020, my life has been inspired and changed! Thank you for educating me!
Beautiful home. Congratulations! I love Portugal, I have been to almost every city there from Algarve in the south to Montelagre in the north. Great food, great people and lovely weather.
Simon what are the winters along the silver coast like?
Watching from New Zealand. Thank you for the inspiration. God bless!
Came from you guys’ Instagram post, can’t wait to watch yet another informative, yet entertaining video
This is amazing! My wife and I are on the same journey as you, we’re currently renting something in Lisbon and are looking to buy a house near the beach as well. Would love to meet up with you guys in Portugal!
Why Portugal?
@@goldstonemark it's cheap, safe, good food and easy to get around, plus relatively good weather compared to most of Europe.
Wow, congratulations guys! You earned it! Living the dream :)
Thanks so much!!
Wow! What a find! Do you speak Portuguese? I moved from Michigan to Ireland 5+ years ago at 63 and bought a small, quirky house with cash... Love your place!
Y'all going to have to change the name of the channel Our super rich journey eventually😁
Representation is so important. Thank you both for showing my wife and I this is possible. You inspire us!
You should totally UA-cam any home improvement projects you do. I'm not a big Instagram guy (maybe because I'm 52?!?) but I'm totally jiggy with UA-cam and would love to see what you guys do with your new house!
Very happy for you guys! May your family live a happy prosperous life in Portugal.
I have one comment on the renovation plans though. Personally I’d keep the downstairs kitchen, open it up to the living room and make the upstairs kitchen the 3rd room. I think you’ll want the kitchen and living room to be on the same floor while the rooms on a separate floor away from the living room noises and the sounds from upstairs. Also having a ground level kitchen is better for when you bring groceries - you won’t need to carry them all the way to the first floor.
Good luck!
I'd love to see a renovation series that explains how to budget, costs, since you are doing it yourselves what are things you can totally do only the two of you and where you need to hire people, what about the tools (rent vs buy), etc....not just the visual pretty part, but the nitgrit of home renovation and economics! Congrats on the purchase!
The house looks amazing and that garden is beautiful. Start by fixing the roof insulation for you comfort and energy savings.
This is so lovely! I want to do the same thing but in Africa. Still trying to decide between countries but this is such great inspiration! 😊
Very satisfying video❤
You are out of the rat race,truly Enjoying your life👍🥳🥳🥳
The bedroom floors look great, consider keeping them. Would love this to be a series!!!! I have three questions: 1. Will you live in the house while you renovate? 2. Would you ever put in a pool? 3. Could the attic maybe be a airbnb situation in the far future? 🤔 anyways love this, love yall, congratulations!!
What a beautiful homestead! I am DEFINITELY interested in seeing videos of your renovations. Thanks for letting us follow your rich journey!
Leslie - thanks so much for following us along our journey!!!
Tears of joy in my heart...this will be me someday. Congrats!!! 😍😍
Congratulations,the price’s awesome.The floorings are amazingly new & nice,no need to change or renovate.The whole house looks great.We’re also planning to retire to Portugal,any relaxing area as we love the peace & quiet to relax,thks.Stay safe & cheers😊
It's incredible how you managed to save a lot of money by simply moving away from Lisbon. There for this price you would get a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment, and you managed to get a huge hou with two kitchens and an awesome back yard and also an amazing entrance.
I also wonder who the previous owner was because it seems like he meant to rent the upper half of the house while living in the lower floor which is a very smart idea.
Thank you for this video and for all your content in general 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
It is very typical for portuguese houses to have the upstairs being the "formal home" but live everday life dowmstairs only. The upstairs is usually only used for holidays and in some cases to sleep, if there aren't enough bedrooms downstairs.
Wow, guys, what a gem of a property! Congratulations, we're really happy to see you so excited, and can't wait to see what the renovations will look like. So please document them as well.
You guys have inspired us to push for FI even harder. Watching your videos and learning from them has become a staple of our Sundays.
Wow, i love this new home of yours! That outdoor space is perfect!
I love your house guys, it's BEAUTIFUL. The backyard and the gardens look like a modern homemade farm, amazing. Hope you have a great time living there. Can´t wait for the renovations. Keep rocking.
Wow, what an incredible price! Definitely more affordable than Berlin when it comes to property. 👀 Totally loving that yard!
The most anticipated video on this channel. Congratulations on this amazing journey
Wow, thank you so much Zinhle!
Can’t wait to see the Reno work on UA-cam. My husband and I live in Viseu, Portugal
