We continue our Early Retirement Cost of Living Budget series, from Madeira, Portugal 🌴 🇵🇹 with our February, 2022 expenses. In October, 2021, we retired early and moved abroad to Portugal at age 50, after selling everything and downshifting to our “Second Half of Life.”
We share our monthly early retirement budgets with you, as well as healthy living lifestyle, retirement finances, and world travel as a couple.

It is so wonderful it is to see you enjoying your retirement in my hometown, although progress has come to the island it still is very much a treasure in the Atlantic. I moved from Madeira to the US many years ago but still visit often, as my parents are still on the island, I miss it a lot and your videos help ground me in a sense. Muito Obrigada! Note: Go to Penha d'Àguia and have a queijada. 🙂
Great video, thanks! Hope your dog is doing better.
Thx for sharing guys. Your videos are really helpful and i wish you all the best with your four-legged family member…
If possible please share in one of your upcoming videos cost of buying a car. Thx
Hope your beloved dog is well again if not I pray pretty soon. It must have been a scare but for you to break in your emergency funds must have felt like a blessing that you had that set up. Just today I was talking about it with my hubby that in certain scenarios of our plan we forgot to calculate it in..my bad😅.
Thanks for the great information. Thanks in advanced for taking the time and effort to talk about moving with your dog and the steps you took. Hope your doggie gets well soon.
Glad your dog is feeling better. I don’t even want to think about how much that would cost in US. 🤣 Thanks for detailing out your expenses – always very interesting and helpful with our planning.
Sorry to hear your dog isn't feeling well. Hope he's back to normal soon!
When "levadas" hiking? 😀
If you would have had to take your dog to the vet here in the US that would have been 3x the cost. Sorry to hear about your dog, oddly enough I’m taking mine in today for an emergency visit. I’ve decided that once this dog is gone, I will not have another one during retirement. Would be interested in learning more about the process/cost of bringing your dog from the US. I’ve not figured that out yet.
Great videos guys. My wife and I are from Canada and have been in Madeira for 15 months now. We enjoy this island very much and will retire here in the next 5-10 years.
Love this series. Hope your dog makes a full recovery
So sorry about your DOG 🐕 illness. I hope your dog will have a full recovery soon. Thanks for the useful videos. 👏👍
My left ankle has some issues that now prevent me from driving a manual transmission–and even without those, I'm a Midwesterner who never needed to become skilled at driving a stick on hills, and my wife has never been proficient with a manual. I have read from folks who winter in the Algarve that rentals with auto are scarce, but what about either rentals or used cars for purchase on Madeira? Thanks!
Best health wishes to your dog. In my country there's a pet health insurance which decreases the health cost. Does Madeira offers suchlike insurance?
Enjoyed the video as usual, good to see your expenses are leveling out as expected. Also, hope your dog is doing well!!
It's budget time again! We hope you find this useful and we sure enjoy your comments! Who will be our 500th subscriber? Thanks SO much for your support @Track Us Down1!
