That's a bit overoptimistic...the real estate prices in Portugal are CRAZY because of the tourism boom + shared economy, the taxes on food and especial gasoline are really high, so the Portuguese go to Spain(a country that's richer) to shop, as it's cheaper...salaries are a bit of a joke, like making more than 1000EUR is to be considered lucky.
It's true that the "Contraption" in the government is working better than Greece or Italy, but still...
- pcardoso 8y agoPortugal != Lisbon. You can get reasonable prices everywhere else.
- PedroBatista 8y agoToo bad they don't get reasonable jobs everywhere else, or a job at all.
- pcardoso 8y agoNot true. While Lisbon has a big chunk of the jobs, other cities also have plenty of opportunities. YMMV of course. I work remotely, so I’m outside the local job market, but I still get plenty of offers for local companies in my mid sized city.
