Because your thread seems genuine I'll give you a qrd:
Housing market: Completely fucked and by far this country's biggest issue, the average person just cannot afford to buy a house in the big cities and immediate suburbs. Of course you could always fuck off to the interior of the country, but unless you can secure a good job there or work remotely, it's not really interesting for people, especially younger people. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact this country has become really popular as a destination for Americans to run away from Trump or for people to retire in general, added to the fact we have/used to have favorable tax laws regarding digital nomads, cryptobros and the like. Just last week Nicole Kidman moved here, adding to the list of escapee Californians living here. So yes we are full
Relatively low salaries: The average wage is around the 1500 euro mark, although it depends from district to district, with Lisbon and Porto being higher than the national average. You used to be able to stretch your money a lot more here than the average European country but as of recently because of the wars, pandemics, and the explosion of the housing market our overall purchasing power has not risen that much, even if the economy isn't as bad as it was and our wages have increased
