Live and Invest Overseas has just released its “Overseas Retirement Index”, and highlighted Braga - the culturally vibrant capital of Portugal’s northern Minho Province, famous for its lush, green landscapes that produce vinho verde wine, as a top retirement destination. Retirement isn’t cheap, and it’s getting more expensive every year, especially in the United States thanks to inflation and medical costs. The average American 65 and older spends $4,818 per month in the United States. On the other hand, the average social security check for 2024 is a mere $1,907… There’s something wrong with that math… If you’re willing to look beyond U.S. borders, though, you can make that check stretch much farther than you’d be able to back home, likely trading in for a more exciting, indulgent-feeling lifestyle in an exotic haven overseas. There’s a common misconception that the only places in the world that would significantly reduce your cost of living are in Latin America or Asia… and, more specifically, that Europe is entirely out of reach for the average retiree. Au contraire… After a past life of 28 years living in the US, I have made Portugal my home the last 23 years now, and can give you over a hundred reasons you should consider a move to Portugal as well, although I will only highlight these… Cost of living; ease of integration; climate; lifestyle; amenities and healthcare. So why is Braga a top retirement destination???… You can retire in Braga for as little as $2,855 per month for a couple… Braga is the culturally vibrant capital of Portugal’s northern Minho Province, famous for its lush, green landscapes that produce vinho verde wine. An attractive, well-loved city, with narrow lanes and lively plazas hemmed in by historic buildings and elegant baroque churches, Braga’s historic center is a dense, buzzy neighborhood that’s full of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, churches, supermarkets, businesses, hotels, homes, and more... Braga is an off-the-radar retirement choice in Portugal, especially compared to the Algarve, Lisbon, and Porto, which means the cost of living here is significantly lower than these more trafficked areas... Braga is affordable not only relative to the costs of living in the United States and Canada or even the UK, it’s also affordable relative to other places in Portugal. Property prices and costs of living haven’t been inflated as much as in places like the Algarve, Lisbon, and Porto. For its rich lifestyle, Braga is a bargain!!! #AntonioBarbosa #portugal #realtor #movingtoportugal #livinginportugal #retiringinportugal #retirement #agentimmobilier #immobilierauPortugal #demenagerauportugal #vivreauPortugal #retraite #retraiteauPortugal #braga #minho #minhoportugal

We are glad that Forbes has seen the potential of #Montenegro as a retirement destination, with an affordable cost of living, and a relatively simple residence permit procedure. Just an important note, if you zoom out of Kotor Bay, and consider other regions in the country, your cost of living can be even lower than Forbes indicated. We'd just like to see the Government create a special retirement residency option, which would simplify the procedures for foreign retirees. #retirement #residency #residencepermit https://lnkd.in/dyw8QaDC
