I'm on my way and completing the paperwork to submit for the D7.
Man has it been 3 years already. I found you guys when you just moved over there. I think it was the place with the fireplace in the background. Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been on this journey that long myself. Keep making great videos. We love you two.
Language! I narrowed my retirement destinations down to Southwest France and Portugal. I decided to go to France first. I did my due diligence; I joined expat groups, did online research, and studied French online for 4 months. The concensus from my research was "Just learn as much French as you can, there is always someone nearby to help if you need a translator, and most young French people speak French." I found NONE of this to be true. EVERYTHING is printed in French and nothing is in English. I politely approached people for help; most said they did not speak English; one lady gave me a dirty look when I asked if she spoke English. Even waiters – no English. I found a British-owned restaurant and ended up eating there several times. After a few days, I was ready to come home, but had booked a two week vacation. I'm easy to get along with and outgoing, but what was supposed to be a vacation was more like a punishment. So PLEASE, can you REALLY get along in Portugal speaking only English in the beginning? I am more than happy to undertake learning Portuguese and intermixing in the culture once situated, but I couldn't stand another vacation of complete isolation. Thank you so much for sharing so many of the details of your life in Portugal!
What are you doing about US taxes or did you renounce your US citizenship? Perhaps you can do a video on that.
Ciao guys! I love your videos. Do you think that crypto will be really taxed in Portugal? Also for the NHR? Thanks!
You both are amazing parents! That why your children are thriving!!
You both would be great mentors to our younger generation!
Such great content! Super useful thank you 🙏🏼
As a Portuguese who has lived most of his life in Canada, I can say that you guys really give me second thoughts about my future plans. The world seems so complex right now. And Portugal seems like a safe and great place to live.
Portugal is a great place to live if you are an expat American family with millions of US dollars in the bank. If you are a native Portuguese there are limited career prospects and you need to head north.
So glad you guys found your forever home! The US has really taken a turn for the worse in the last year and a half and I'm not sure it'll ever recover by the time I retire in 3 years. We were looking at retiring in Portugal, but I keep reading that the digital nomads have made it so popular that the home and rent prices have skyrocketed. Is that true? I know the golden VISA has changed, but we never planned on living in the city. We prefer the quieter suburb or country life and have an 8 year old who will be enrolled in school.
Are public school good in Portugal
Less than 2 years and you can become portuguese. Is that in your plans?
Excellent tips guys thank you. Ur How to Move to Portugal Course has been highly valuable to me.. Working my plan. 👌🏾❤️🙏👏🏽Would you ever consider a MTP Summit like you did for the F.I.R.E. Course for those who are <6-8 mons.out ?. 🙏 Blending in so…LearningPortuguese4Sure ❤️
So happy for you all that you’ve found your “forever home”! 🤩. Sort of related question, how is the garden going?
On a scale of 1-to-GetOut, how much has the last 3-4wks of SCOTUS decisions (SEC through Roe) affected your perspectives on the question of ever moving back?
I lived in Paris for two years, visited Portugal and LOVED it! I told myself I will live here one day but came back to the States for family 8 years ago and I still haven’t adjusted being back. I’m ready to go back and setup my life in Portugal but now I have a 4 year old daughter and concerned about relocating as a single parent. It feels like everything has to be perfectly setup before I relocate her.
Can you do more videos about Bitcoin and economics? Thank you
Do you guys have a move abroad checklist that you used before moving to Portugal?
Hi! Great points!
We have a toddler and are looking to move to Portugal by the time she starts school. Did you arrange for international schools for your daughters, or did you research and go the public school route? I think since my daughter will be just starting out it would be great for her to learn the Portuguese language at school with her classmates! Super excited for our scouting trip in the Fall!
Very informative video. Thank you!
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask because you two are married and have a family. I'm single and never been married. I have no kids. How difficult would it be for a single person to move to Portugal and adjust? Is Lisbon probably the best place for single folks to live in?
Is it easy to move there from the US? Like getting a job and citizenship?
I have to say this is all good advice for moving anywhere! When we bought our second home in Vermont we had all the utilities switched and on as soon as we closed and walked in with everything up and running. Knowing where all of the important places were food, medical, dental etc. was also done before hand. We are moving to Portugal in the next decade and we are already doing our online lessons as we plan to visit annually until the move and knowing the language is helpful at best and respectful to the locals.
