FIRE Number for Lisbon, Portugal

A clean 1-bedroom in a residential neighborhood like Arroios, well-connected by metro to the center. Cooking most meals at home with affordable produce from local markets, eating out at tascas a couple of times a week. Getting around on the Navegante transit pass. Public healthcare with a basic private supplement. Comfortable and livable, though dining out and travel require planning around the budget.

A large apartment in Chiado or a renovated townhouse in Estrela with a terrace. Dining at good restaurants regularly, including occasional Michelin-starred meals at places like Belcanto. A leased car for weekend drives and regional flights to the Azores or Madeira a few times a year. Premium private healthcare with international coverage. Genuinely affluent living in a city where this budget goes far.

A restored historic mansion in Lapa or an ultra-luxury penthouse on Avenida da Liberdade with concierge services. Regular fine dining, a cook a few times a week, and full private healthcare with no wait times. A housekeeper, business class travel as default, and first class for longer trips. A nice car and driver when needed. You never think about money day-to-day, though at this level in Lisbon you're near the ceiling of what the city offers in terms of premium services.
