12 Great Places to Retire Abroad on a Budget

Portugal

There is so much to love about living in Portugal: friendly people, romantic architecture, sunny beaches, port wine and haunting fado music. The country is 29 on Numbeo’s Cost of Living Index, a list in which the United States ranks at 41. Lisbon is out of the question, but there are a dozen other medium-sized cities that are even more charming and many are on the coast. Once you get a handle on Portuguese, you will be accepted as nearly a native!
