Any Mustachians living in Portugal?
« on: June 07, 2024, 01:46:06 AM »
Olá a todos!

I have been living 3 years of FI life in Lisbon Portugal and am wondering if there are any other Mustachians nearby? My wife and I organised a couple of small FIRE meetups a couple of years ago to look for like-minded people, and we made one set of good friends, but it would be great to meet more. I have done a spot of part-time work recently and I have been very involved in the running community, but I would love to hear how others have filled their time and built a sense of purpose.

Obrigado e até breve!
David

Sim! Moramos no Algarve, perto de Armaçao de Pêra.

We spend a lot of time hiking. In fact, the community we found in our hiking group during two winter's worth of scouting was a big part of our decision to move here full time. Aside from that, we are still in the bureaucracy-heavy part of the immigration process, so we are busy sorting out all that stuff.

Unlike those that are spending less by living in Portugal, we came from a very low-cost, rural situation and our expenses are higher here. So on the face of it, not the most Mustachian choice! But as far as life satisfaction goes, it's pretty darn good. At least the wine prices are super budget-friendly, for better or worse!
