Hi Bianca,

I've been reading all of the articles you've created regarding Portugal Lisbon. I'm about to move to Lisbon this early 2020 with my wife and daugther. I'm worried about on how the cost will be once we get there. Will we be able to live a good life (Dine outside once in a while etc.) with approximately 2k euroes a month?

Thanks,

Hi Dhyno,

Is that 2k after rental costs? Housing is pretty expensive here now, so 2k per month for three people will make things a bit tight. I haven't updated this for 2022, but you can get an idea of the cost of things in Lisbon.

A 2 bedroom apartment can cost you anywhere from 900-2,000 euros. Then there are utilities, food, etc. I think for a family of 3 to be comfortable you need to have a higher overall budget.
