What?Some of these ideas and concerns here are good but many are way off base...will refrain from further comment...Go for it!...check out your dream place for 6 months...you will have the answer....or you can be a little more deep in your research and thinking...that will up your odds before making a costly mistake and losing your nest egg.
Can't tell if it's sarcasm or if you genuinely misunderstood my meaning?good point. Unless of course, it's innate and universal to all people all around the world to feel compelled to put OP at the top.
I was taking a jab at OP due to a comment of his in another thread. I understood your point very well and have experienced this personallyCan't tell if it's sarcasm or if you genuinely misunderstood my meaning?
So I'll just respond as if you misunderstood because inevitably someone will lol
In a culture, a real culture that's not an entirely westernized melting pot, humans are literally programed to recognize their own.
Some random (presumably white) person is not going to get any real sympathy in a foreign non white country where he/she sticks out like a sore thumb. Because... their not part of the community.
If we're talking about a full-on collapse like the op is concerned about this is definitely something to consider especially with the current global idea that if you're white you have everything you need via privilege/money.
So if food becomes scarce no he will not be at the top of any theoretical line or waiting list or anybody's concern because he is not one of them.
Humans are pack animals, best not to forget that is my main point.
I like how fast citizenship can be obtained through purchasing a reasonably priced home in certain areas.I hadn’t thought of this but it’s a good point.
Another great point.
Can you share a little more on what requirements you’re looking for when moving to portugal?
I was thinking a smaller town either near the coast or high altitude.
Big plus if the supplychain breaks down. A selfsustainable country will probably not have any major issuesthey primarily produce a majority of their own food and export very little of said food.
Yes I’ve seen videos of how violent it can get, different world.If we're talking about a collapse sometimes the only way out of South America is through a lot more of South America and with any basic amount of research you will learn how violent South America can be and this is before a collapse.
+I like that the people are incredibly proud of their heritage, their country, and that they have not lost touch with their culture, religion, & values. Considering these are the things that typically hold a country together through hard times I find it really important.
+Lastly, it's the 4th safest country to live in the world & they have the most liberal gun laws in all of the EU.
Love this too.I like that they have extremely favorable tax rates and special tax brackets for immigrants.
Definitely don’t want to live in a tourist trap. Did you have a few places in mind already? Or already decided on a definite spot?I like that assuming a collapse doesn't come my income will go twice as far so long as I don't live in a tourist trap.
Right now we're looking at central and northern Portugal, southern is all tourism.Big plus if the supplychain breaks down. A selfsustainable country will probably not have any major issues

Thanks for these insights. Really peaking my interest to possibly choose Portugal.
Is a tourist saturated area a bad thing?southern is all tourism
Housing is expensive, too crowded, food prices go upIs a tourist saturated area a bad thing?
I read somewhere that around 40% the Algarve consists of Expats. Curious to understand why that is a bad thing?
Traffic jams, and long commutes, long lines in stores, crowds everywhere, drunk ***holes, pollution, ...Housing is expensive, too crowded, food prices go up
Because the cost of living is HUGELY jacked up, because of the tourists.Is a tourist saturated area a bad thing?

Thanks, great infoRight now we're looking at central and northern Portugal, southern is all tourism.
Central has the most fertile soil.
Northern has the most rain (which I see as a plus).
If you're already an EU citizen moving wherever you want is already an option, for us we're narrowing down on the areas that qualify for the Golden visa.
Oh, they also speak English in a majority of the areas. At least the younger generations do so that's handy while learning Portuguese.
