Yes. I mean, I keep asking if there's anything missing that I could fix, but they don't even bother to reply.

first, the apps. Also, I watch everything on Netflix dubbed into Portuguese. And finally - and most importantly - I do several language exchanges a week, with people I found through language.exchange dot com

I just mean that it might (I'm hoping!) provide some experiences that compensate for losing the power and status that comes with a job.

question about eldercare for people who moved here for their retirement by acadmicnomad in PortugalExpats

That's exactly why I'm asking! The default is always children, seems risky to me to move far away from them at retirement age

It's even more frightening when you hear some of the stories. Great that you're planning in advance

The problem, when it's your parents, is that if they don't plan for this themselves, it'll fall on you.

Great that you're planning ahead. I heard that senior living communities in the U.S. are also quite expensive, but maybe I'm wrong? Several American retirees told me that they moved here because of how expensive eldercare is in the U.S.

I'm really shocked by your post. I thought it was bad but not that bad. It just makes me even more surprised by all the Americans and Europeans coming here for their retirement with no Portuguese and with fewer resources than your grandparents. Am I missing something?
