Portugal wasn\u2019t the first to try this ploy, but perhaps it worked too well there: the country has received 6.5 billion euros in investment as a result, mostly in real estate. Because the prevailing local wisdom (fair or not) is that this has driven up housing prices in Lisbon, the program is either going to shift to rural areas or get scrapped altogether according to\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/portugal-likely-scrap-much-criticised-golden-visa-scheme-pm-says-2022-11-02\/?utm_campaign=Nomadico&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">the latest PM\u2019s statements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><strong>Thin Monkey Tool for Travel<\/strong><\/strong><br>Some things I always pack I don\u2019t use every trip, but when I do pull them out they\u2019re super handy.

Since around 2009, traditional savings accounts paid next to nothing, so it made sense to keep deploying that capital or investing it. Now you can park your money somewhere for 3% or get more than 4% from a CD. That\u2019s still lower than the current inflation rate, but with the Fed continuing to hike rates, the two numbers should converge in a quarter or two. In countries with a volatile currency, savings rates are topping 10%.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nomadico issue #26<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2385],"tags":[2386],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40527"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40527"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40529,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40527\/revisions\/40529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
