The number that makes people look twice

A retired couple lives comfortably in Portugal on about €1,800 a month — rent, groceries, healthcare, dining out with wine included. Same pension, a completely different life.

Straight talk: Portugal is one of the best-value, safest places to retire — but it's not all sunshine. Healthcare can mean waits, bureaucracy is slow, and the old tax break is gone. The guide covers the hard parts too, because a plan built on half the truth isn't a plan.
