Yes your money will go much further and the people are generally good to you. Cost of living is easily 30-50% of what life will cost you in the USA. Often times much less than that if you are from a bigger city in the States. As mentioned in the video. $1200/month and you're doing fine. Bump it up to $5000 and you're living really good.

@@BBAERSTANCE1, no, it's because our currency is very devalued compared to the dollar and Euro. There are many rich and middle class people here in Brazil, too. Probably, you have the impression that there are "only poor people" in Latin America because of the poor immigrants that search a better life in the US, illusioned by American movies and the big exposure of the US in their media. Immigrants always dream that they can get things quicker and easier out of their countries. Here jobs that do not require education have low salaries because there are many people available to do them. We had the biggest and longest slavery in the Americas during the Portuguese colonization and poor people from neighboring countries etc. are always arriving. So, most immigrants from Brazil are these people with low salaries. Besides, automobiles and electronics are much more expensive here. The middle class, on the contrary, because of the big social differences, has a better life than in many countries because they can buy cheaper properties (cheaper labor), can pay people to clean their homes etc. They are not the type of immigrants that you'll see in the US, a minority.

This, along with living in one of the coolest and most interesting cities in the world, makes the package as a whole an opportunity you can’t refuse.

Definitley going to show these videos of yours to my students. I work as a portuguese teacher and I frequently have to hear the same thing over and over again "what about crime in Brazil" and I am like "what about it?", mostly from students living in Chicago, London, Paris. My uncles were violently robbed as soon as they left the airport in Barcelona and when I was in Viena, Austria I was being followed by someone and had to enter a shop and wait until the son a bitch left. Unfortunately or fortunately, we brazilians don't hide our crime and violence problems, we try to hide our racism but it's 2021 and that can't last too long. But Europe especially never, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER shows their downsides. I lived in Europe for 2 years and omg, poverty there is bad in some areas and people living in worse conditions than in the favelas of Brazil because at least the favelas now have a community sense and people help each other there and it's little by little developing in a way and not to mention that politicians try to do something there because those people vote as well and who doesn't want votes? But in Europe, the poor and miserable ones are like invisible. European media only shows their beautiful castles, architecture but never what happens outside of those boring squares where the churches and museums are.

I fvcking love this episode! As an AA(poc) with wanderlust who lived in Mexico last year I had family members fearful of the skewed perception of crime and racism in cities such as Mexico City -fueled by colonizer fear media. My counter argument every time they thought they were thoughtfully airing legitimate concern was 1) I am a black American, the levels of hate, racism, discrimination, and danger I've faced in the US is orders of magnitude more oppressive and caustic; facts. 2) Crime rates: I've lived in big US cities my whole life Chicago, LA, NYC, Detroit (not to mention those abroad), crime in the big US cities eclipses crime in Ciudad de Mexico insofar as armed robbery, grand larceny, and murder. While living in the cities I visited in Mexico I slept with doors and windows open or unlocked. The sense of community and my neighbors were legit af, not hateful, selfish, exclusionary, and fearmongering. Dont get me wrong, I always exercised prudent judgment and have keen street sense, but my blood pressure went down not up living in Mexico, facts. I saved up so I could move back permanently to Mexico for this year, but while there everyone I befriended kept telling me, "You have to visit Brazil" "When you come back, we are going to take a trip to Brazil". I started thinking, 'I should wait on getting a place in Mexico and visit Brazil because I may actually want to move to Sao Paulo or Rio etc instead'. This episode has really helped me insofar as conducting due diligence for the Brazil idea. Gracias!

$1200 will have you living ok. Enough for food shelter and to hang out occasionally. Basic needs met. You can certainly takes Portuguese classes. They should be relatively inexpensive. I recommend starting with Pimsleur it's good and inexpensive and then take formal classes. If you dedicate 3-4 hours a day on self and structured learning while living in the county you will advance quickly. Try Pimsleur for free, link in my description.

Hello Pierre, I'm Fernando, from Brazil. I like so much your content and the Idea after all. I have never had seem any american talk about the perspective to go out of USA, but for all the context, and history and the way like the all society is showed, i just figured out something like that. About this video, in particularly, i think the easy way is do what you do, leave the USA and come to Brazil. The hard way is exactly the opposite. Be part of a minority in Brazil is a hard thing. I'm glad to have a content like that to have a new perspective and to learn more. I can't wait to see more of you incursion on my country. And to finish, just let me say that. Our country is so much big, like USA. The people of rhe north is totally different of the people of the south. I could recommend a lot of places for you, but if you come to Santa Catarina, find me in Blumenau to practice a little portuguese and eat a churrasco (trully barbecue). Ok?. Best wishes and good luck.

I am not sure how long you've lived in Sampa, but those petty crimes (stealing phones, wallets, and etc...) can happen anywhere and in any neighborhood (not just the poorer ones) and even in traffic (motorcycles knock on your window with a gun). It may not have happened to you, but I think what you described about the security is not very accurate. You're right that in the US there are those crazy school shootings and etc ... which in Brazil we don't have though. Having said all that, it's a great place to live if you have a decent income.

So it's important for me to sound off on the importance of credit and how to properly use it.
