September marks the restart of work and the school season in Portugal, a period traditionally associated with high expenses for Portuguese families. This year, the financial pressure may be even greater due to the rise in fuel prices and the increase in Euribor, which tend to worsen the household budget.
In this context, Bárbara Barroso suggests that families should look for "hidden savings" to face this period of greater financial stress. The specialist emphasizes the importance of carefully analyzing family expenses to identify possibilities for cutting costs.
Beyond the immediate pressure, organizing personal finances during this period is pointed out as fundamental for preparing for the year 2027. In other words, the financial decisions made in September can have a medium and long-term impact on the financial balance of families.
