To leave or to stay

My partner and I are wondering whether we should move to Portugal permanently and start a new life, or stay in France and continue our life here. If we leave, will we find a stable life in the long term, or should we stay in France, where each of us has a job and a stability that we might not find in Portugal?
My numbers: 13, 06, 15, 10.
Thank you in advance

Hello Milay13,

Before considering moving to Portugal, you would need to be assured of finding a job or receiving a job offer there.
In the long term, yes, you will be able to find a stable life there, but since both you and your partner have jobs in France, you should really think it over twice before moving abroad; in short, don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched, as the saying goes.
I see you making your decision in the summer of 2015.
My advice is to first research the employment opportunities, housing, cost of living, etc., that Portugal could offer you, and weigh the pros and cons compared to what you have in France.
Keep me posted…

Have a good day

Hello, magician,
I am of Portuguese origin and my parents live there, so housing would not be a problem. It is certainly not ideal to go back and live with one’s parents, but that would be the case at first. The real issue would be work. My idea would be to complete a one-year training program and then work for myself; it would be more difficult for him, as he does not speak the language. Whatever our decision, I will keep you informed. Thank you.
