Your Guide to Portuguese Golden Visa with RelyOn Relocation

Investing as a Life Situation

Everyone has their own amount of money, the amount they believe will allow them to stop working and just enjoy life. But with age comes the realization that this path is a utopia, leading nowhere. As you start a family, your needs grow, and money that just sits there is nothing more than paper. That’s when you start thinking about how to preserve, and ideally, grow your wealth, while ensuring that your family lives in comfort and safety. How can you combine all your desires and eliminate constant worries about your assets? This question is always relevant, and most people conclude that investing is almost the only viable option. And that’s where the “jumping through hoops” begins:

1. Stocks and bonds – financial risks (and there are many).
2. Cryptocurrency – it seems no one really knows where it leads yet.
3. Real estate – a very unstable market and high taxes.
4. Banks – Is this a joke?
5. Gold — is an eternal value, but not a panacea; it holds steady, but returns are not guaranteed.

The conclusion? Invest in what you understand—yourself, your development, your children, their education, and your passions. Over the years, as you dream of a house by the ocean and an Algarve Sunset cocktail on the beach, you also embrace more classic desires:  

• An excellent and well-rounded education for your children.
• Innovative and accessible healthcare for your family.
• Diverse and quality food at reasonable prices.
• Untouched nature and a favorable climate.
• Reliable protection of savings from inflation and financial turmoil.
• A resilient home in the face of economic crises.
• The opportunity to live in a safe and trustworthy community, where you can:
  • Leave your car unlocked.
  • Enjoy a peaceful evening in a restaurant with your spouse.
  • Feel secure leaving your children home alone.
