We continue our 2022 Cost of Living series here in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, with a discussion on Renting vs Buying in the current market, and how each could affect YOU. We also break down our NEW cost to live here, now that we own our own home 🧐. We hope you find it helpful and a little interesting, as you pursue your “Second Half of Life.” All the best ~ Monique & Doug ❤️ 😊

In October, 2021, we achieved financial independence in North America and retired early at age 50, while moving to Portugal. We sold everything, and downshifted to our “Second Half of Life.” We are here on Madeira Island, Portugal.
