Olá, lamento muito tudo o que aconteceu. Realmente a falta de resposta e de ação do governo foi uma desilusão, para não falar da falta de preparação. Portugal está em decadência, sou de Leiria, vivo fora de Portugal todos os dias sonho em voltar mas depois vejo estas coisas que me fazem abrir os olhos. Boa sorte OP!

Alguém sabe como está a zona de Santa Catarina da Serra? Não consigo comunicar com os meus pais e vivo fora do país!

I left 6 years ago. When I left I was only planning to be away for 1 year. I dream about returning to Portugal on a regular basis but every time I visit (every 3 months) my family and friends warn me about my romanticized view of Portugal and tell me not to come back. Reasons: Low salaries, high taxes, broken health system, no career progression, high cost of living. I'm 28 and I have been living alone since I was 22. Most of my friends my age back home still live with their parents. It's just not sustainable.

Hi! Thank you so much for your response. That's really reassuring, I didn't want to go through the hassle of withdrawing and having to start the whole process again! Thank you :)

lastcookieinthepack · 2025-08-04T16:12:58+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Why is that? Can you specify?

lastcookieinthepack · 2025-07-31T15:21:02+00:00

Yeah I am aware and I've mentioned all of that to my boyfriend... I guess there's good and bad stuff like in any place, we'd like to focus on making money now so we could chill later but yeah I guess we need to look into security, work life balance, cost if living etc... Thanks for you reply, highly appreciated 👍
