I have family, but they are based in Germany, but everything depends IMO if your kids are able to speak Portuguese or not. That for sure would impact your budget for education. Living in Setubal/Almada, you can plan a 700-800 euro/month rent, 300-500 for supermarket, 100-300 transportation and then education in case your kids need a private school. The costs with transport may vary if you have to commute daily to Lisbon, if you use car or not and etc.
- EL_Loco 5y agoHey, thanks for the reply! My kids are fluent in Portuguese and I would probably enroll them in public schools. So you think a 2500 monthly budget for a family of 4 would be doable? (I raised your estimates to account for emergencies, healthcare, etc - btw, sorry for bothering you)
- pelasaco 5y agoYes, you will be able to survive, for sure. Some studies (2017, https://sicnoticias.pt/economia/2017-07-04-Que-rendimento-e-necessario-para-uma-pessoa-viver-com-dignidade-em-Portugal- https://sicnoticias.pt/economia/2017-07-04-Que-rendimento-e-... ) suggest that EUR 2.200/month would be enough (depending on your long term plans, kids ages and extra needs).
