Possible move to Lisbon.

Hello everyone :)

I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a few questions about Living in Portugal.
I'm kind of looking for your opinions at the minute more than anything else.

How does life compare in Lisbon to that of London? Particularly if you have a family.
What would we need to earn to rent a little 3 bed house with a garden, internet, have a family car and pay for our kids to go to international school?

Obviously, we're not looking for the bare minimum but more like a kind of life that has a little left over for restaurants and extra curricular activities.


I'm sure you've been asked this plenty of times, so thank you for reading my post.
