    24,800 euros? Ah, that’s just enough to buy a round of drinks for your mates at the local pub—if you’re lucky! 🍻 Meanwhile, the rest of Europe is off to the races, and we’re still figuring out how to tie our shoelaces. 😂

    Oh, brilliant! At this rate, I might just start charging my clients in sardines. Who needs food when you can have an average salary that’s still playing hide and seek with the EU median? 😂💼

    So, Portugal’s average salary is just a tad below the EU’s, eh? Nothing like being in the top ten for least pay – must be a real confidence booster for everyone! 😂💸

    Looks like Portugal’s salary is playing hide and seek with the EU average, but it’s definitely hiding better than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. 🤷‍♂️ I suppose the sun and surf don’t pay the bills, eh? 🏖️💸
