Great Video guys always Great watching your Videos with such great information. Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Guys, I am wondering how preschool.or private school figures into your budget? Your daughter is still young. but she'll be school bound soon. Assuming you remain in Porto what are you budgeting for school and what options are available? This would be a great topic to explore for families considering the move to Portugal with young children.
Nice course idea 🤗
In Switzerland they don't even want to sell an appartment to you if you want to buy it by paying in full straightaway – what's it like over there ?
Yep, we DO want the tax video! hahaha
It's a very good idea if people get to setup some stuffs aside for themselves that could be bringing them money apart from there businesses
Very blurry video
Thank you for all the good info you provide! We are currently getting ready to check out Portugal for retirement!
Glad to hear that you tithe. Can you tell us if you have found a english speaking church?
Very interesting Video! Love how you break down the thought processes you follow when considering ANY decision in your lives. You take such a calm, reasoned approach in all they you do. Hope to see you soon!❤️
Both videos, with the detailed breakdown, were super helpful! Thank you, great job. 👏🏼👍🏼😁
A bit off topic, but I'm curious… I just learned that I can only apply for the D7 from my home country. I'm already in Portugal. I'm a US citizen who had been an expat in Germany and Switzerland for the past 18 years. I'm curious if there is a residency visa option for someone who is already in Portugal on a schengen visitor visa? Would love to know, i haven't found it yet… Thanks in advance! Love your videos and all the helpful tips!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. D cost of living is always an interesting topic.
Your monthly budget is one third of what it would be in California not including housing. A 1 bedroom furnished apartment in Orange County would be $2,500 if you can find one….
I've noticed a lot of landlords require a guarantor did you guys find that and if so how did you deal with that
Great video as always I love your haircut it looks great it's really cute on you
And Dino, no active investing never beats passive investing. And it has been proven over and over and over again. And the long term growth has to do with the compound interest, which is wiped out by the fees of the active investing.
Do you have any recommendations for finding remote jobs for expats in Portugal (or anywhere in Europe)? Or maybe you have some job openings for this channel!
I am glad that I am a professional groomer and will not have that expense when we move to Portugal. Piccho is a cutie. I love Yorkies ❤️🐶
Hate that I missed the live, but thanks for sharing! I'm a huge YNAB budget nerd 😂
Hey you 2…..I'm late again, and I live here….lol. Great vid….should help folks figure how they would financially fit in here.
Great video, and explanation, I think is lil bit expensive even for 2 adults and a kid…but probably you pay for the location as well
Great video again!
