Too young to retire?

8 years ago
This post is a continuation of some of the previous posts I have done about retiring to Portugal from Canada.

We were given the wrong visa by the Vancouver Consulate and after a fair bit of digging, likely know why. I am 52 and my wife is 37 and no one here in Portugal WANTS us to retire and the good folks at the SEF offices just look with disdain at us when we mention the word retire. I really can't blame them especially with my wife's age. We have been offered Entrepreneur visas and golden visas but it sort of looks like the retirement visa is off the table. We might like to start a business ass that is what we are good at but we don't want to have to start a business. Golden is not an option.

Has anyone that is a part of this forum retired to Portugal at a relatively young age for a non EU country?
Thanks All
