I visited Portugal back in 2015. Absolutely loved it and I've wanted to return ever since. Honestly, at the time, I thought about the possibility of relocating. Lisbon wasn't so expensive then. The last eight years have only increased those thoughts, though I've heard horror stories of the impact American expats have made, especially when it comes to prices. I like what you're doing; trying to make the influx of expats more sustainable for locals, too. Sadly, I'm older and not very well off financially, so most countries I might want to move to would likely not be interested in having me. And I don't think my wife is on board with moving. So, I just watch videos about it instead.

Election night was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too-they just don’t realise it yet.
you are clueless, Portugal is already way more liberal than the USA, stay in the US, you're right on one thing, nobody here want you to do anything but a short visit
@@ji3946 talk about clueless, Portugal is actually very conservative and Catholic. When I visited Central Portugal, this past June, I did not see a lot of green or purple headed people. Changing gender, crying about how the world is going to end in 8 years if we don't stop eating meat etc etc. It is funny how you speak for the whole of Portugal....?
@@leonnaude19 Not the whole, the majority. Why don't you move to a RED state? It'd be much cheaper, less red tape and you don't need to learn a language because you already speak like a true red. You're confusing Catholic and conservative here in Portugal with Evangelical MAGA and judgmental in the USA, two very different things. Plus it sounds like you don't know any younger(less then 40) people here. Folks less and less trust the Roman Catholic church, doesn't mean they don't believe, just means they live and let live. This doesn't suit you, because you're not even here and you have a grudge with people
Eu sei que pode ser chocante o que eu te vou dizer mas... ela não te está a tentar agradar com a cor do cabelo, ela tem a cor que quer ter e sente-se bem com ela. Já viste como é tão simples? A tua opinião em relação ao cabelo de uma pessoa que nem te conhece é completamente irrelevante e o facto de teres dado o teu input dessa forma é embaraçoso para ti e mais ninguém. Se estás a ficar calvo e frustrado, isso é contigo, mas força nisso! PS: Ana, a minha opinião também não importa mas só para contrabalançar a coisa, a cor fica-te bem!
nope, don't move, period. Never run from, always run to. It'll never workout for you, you'll waste the little money you have saved and be unhappy. Remember you take you with you
Thank you for this information! I hope to learn Portuguese before relocating so I can integrate smoothly.
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck 😊
My family will be in touch. We have been planning for several months. Now we are speeding the plans up.
Anything we can assist you with in the meantime, feel free to reach out to us at contact@savvycatrealty.com

Bravissima!

All of you crying about the election, go ahead and leave. No one will stop you, and you won't be missed.
Election night was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too-they just don’t realise it yet.
Bye, bye...won't miss you either!
I want to move to Portugal, but don't want a wave of liberal Americans move there and then spoil Portugal too. Stay in the USA !!

Portugal has many socialist programs in place. Why would you want to move to Portugal??
@@ji3946😮😂😂
You disgust me with that red hair….
Yes i am Portuguese male.

Es um idiota, this comment is coming from a Portuguese man. You may be male but you're not a man.
Claro que alguém que se chama Cipriano vai dizer uma coisa dessas!
a rapariga pode ser do benfica.
You are also a very unkind human being. And that is a shameful thing to be. Do better.
Might😊 be? I'm on my way home sweet home. Know get ready for the Trumpers to spew their crap.
All my friends in the US like that Trump won again. They are telling me they were much better off locally and worldwide when he was president!
