So heres the deal, I moved to Portugal with my now husband and we simply moved right into a studio of €600 per thirty days. I nonetheless have a US wage of about €50k a 12 months (and work remotely). Which for Portugal… is admittedly good. We dwell about 1 hour and a few minutes by metro from the internal metropolis. And we stroll about 15-20 minutes for groceries, haircut, eating places, medical, all of the necessities. Per 30 days, we make round €5,000 and we spend about €1,200 a month on necessities, leaving us with about €3,800 saved a month comfortably.
We need to ultimately buy a house for more room, which requires atleast a ten% downpayment of a home of €200k.
On the opposite finish, we need to have a automobile to have the ability to drive to the town for occasions, assembly household, and associates. A automobile might total profit us, however we additionally need to discover a home within the metropolis which is nearer to every thing.
Which one sounds extra possible to avoid wasting for? What could be your technique on this state of affairs? Have in mind, credit score rating right here isnt a factor, we now have no debt, and are utterly free to do no matter we would like. We additionally need to journey, so thats additionally on the desk.
Thanks for any ideas!
