Minimum salary in Portugal is 600euros, expats have pumped up the prizes in Lisbon, other cities way cheaper, you wont find cheap places at EU's biggest capitals and Lisbon is huge among the wealthier Europeans precisely to party cheap Wife is getting a part time yes, she is probably gonna get hired by my boss to do emails and customer service but he is still deciding, if that happens we will be living SUPER comfortable With my salary we can havea decent middle class life.

WVU Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Easier to use a Credit card while traveling and the exchange rates are usually minuscule. If you don’t have one, get a loadable credit card and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
