    Man, I love RUclips! I grew up in environments that were full of drugs, violence, and other bad stuff. I didn't learn about managing money or investing until I stumbled on RUclips videos like yours. These videos taught me to hope for better things, to be smarter with whatever money I have, and to make things happen. My life has improved a lot, thanks to you guys and others. Thank you so much! 👍😊

      There is good women out there... I pray you find the right lady......
      what to look for in a lady;
      1 A lady with faith
      2 she is more like a ladylike then just a women
      3 she speaks with respectfully, soft and calm in her speech
      4 She dresses for you and not for attention...
      5. She would be a mother and not name mother
      6 she will be your right hand and support through good and hard times
      7 She expresses love on a daily basis
      8 she is prepared to hang out with everyday and doing things together
      9. She will not get bored of you
      10 she takes care of your finances and lives in a healthy balance lifestyle
      10 she puts you first in everything
      11 she happily visits your parents and treats them like their own
      12 she does not talk behind your back instead utters good about
      And the list goes on.......... having faith and practicing faith is key to true happiness and success, as God is the one who can guarantee and you and your lady must strive and never give up hope in God..... think and live positive
      the above also applies to you.....

    When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the second best time to plant one? Now. If you want an avocado tree, it only takes about a day to go to the plant nursery, buy the tree, and plant it. If you wait a year or two till the interior renovations are done, you will delay the maturity of the tree and fruit harvest from it by that amount.

My best friend is white as is his whole family. He has a black partner and a beautiful mixed-race daughter. We all live well and race isn't an issue at all.
      Does racism exist in Portugal? Of course, as it does in the rest of the world, but way less than in other European countries towards black people, imo.
      If they want to move to Portugal, racism will not be a problem.

      Andrew it would be great, yes. Renovation here in USA is very risky with un regulated chemical materials. I was chemically injured just from moving into our new home breathing in all the chemicals. Left me chronically ill. We did move and gut an old home using all non toxic materials from green building supply.com. Check them out. Great family owned business and a life saver for us. Everything is non toxic.

    It's incredible how you managed to save a lot of money by simply moving away from Lisbon. There for this price you would get a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment, and you managed to get a huge hou with two kitchens and an awesome back yard and also an amazing entrance.
    I also wonder who the previous owner was because it seems like he meant to rent the upper half of the house while living in the lower floor which is a very smart idea.
