The thing is - nobody really cares or checks this. I know so many people doing this with 0 issues. Yes northen europeans just living in portual/spain without telling anyone. Its typical example. Also most people traveling/living europe like this tend to travel somewhere every 3 months (often to their home country). You reset the counter by traveling. The rules are not enforced especially if you are bringing money and behaving nicely.
