I went to Brazil last year and felt like a king. Taking an Uber for a 30 min drive costed around 5 USD and the ppl are friendly. I will definitely be looking forward to more content.
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.
@@luke83rj yeah life would be good on 5k a month as a single person would be great even as a family. Because after housing food and utilities all that is left leisure money for travel and entertainment.
@@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.

I’m heading to Brazil for a change in culture. I’m originally from Central America and miss Afro Latin culture I’m heading there to see what Brazil has to offer. I’ll will start in São Paulo and I’ll head north until I reach Bahia and spend some time there.
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.
My girlfriend is Brazilian and lives in Paragominas. After watching this video I am more than confident I can live there comfortably. Also I gained valuable information of things I wouldn’t have even thought of. Thanks for the great content keep it up!

What an episode. Full of info and understanding. We all come from different backgrounds and occupations and it's good to see we can thrive in Brazil. Thx for a master class fellas. Obrigado 🙏
I was just there this past august! Rio, sau paulo and salvador. I tear up when I think of my stay in Brasil! I am back home in chicago planning on how to move down there. Love the video!
Sorry for thr Kate response! I just saw this. You are absolutely right it's time to make the move. Right now I working to erase all my debt. After that I'm moving down there. That is a fact. Hope all is well my friend.
Thank you for your video. I am from Ecuador and moved to the USA, I love this wonderful country. No country has the opportunities this country offers for everyone and I am thankful you pointed out that the basic things like minimum wage and the language put you in the top 1% in other places. It’s sad that people don’t see what they have and they think they have it the worst in the US. There’s a reason why so many of us left our countries and moved here to the USA. I also loved Brazil both times I was there.
The USA is a very good country as you said when it comes to opportunity. If you are willing to work hard and learn you will always have work and options. The only downside that I have with the USA is a lack of unity in the people and over emphasis on work. We need to do better as a nation to be one people and to do more to focus on living life. For example if you earned your US Salary in Ecuador where would you have a better quality of life and why?
@YusefWateef put a lot of things into perspective. 10 years ago I moved to Sao Paulo and after 2 years of not finding a job or able to learn the language I moved back to the US. I miss Brazil but I don't miss the problems that plague that big cities.
Great video, you asked all of the important questions man! I've been fantasizing moving to Brasil since studying there in 2016. Culturally Brasil is a breath of fresh air, and I miss having an excuse to speak Portuguese. Rest in Power, Brother Yusef ✊🏾
@@Karl__Pierre Before it was my job tying me down, but I was laid off as of yesterday. I'm re-visiting the idea of relocating to Brazil to learn PT, even if just for 6months to a year if I can manage the visa. I could really use help from someone like Yusef who helps Americans wanting to try living in Brazil find apartments and get settled.
@@Karl__Pierre I have savings that I could live off of in Brazil for 6 months to a year if I can find safe housing in a city I'm interested in (SP, Rio, Salvador, Florianópolis) for less than US$1000/R$5000 monthly. I'd also be able work remote gigs if needed.
I really liked what Yusef said regarding being willing to be that kind of oddball that you need to be in order to make these kinds of moves in life a reality. I really think that's true. Have to get out of the way to find your own way right?
I like what he said as well but I don't know if it's getting out of your own way. I think it's more about accepting your path even if it's not the popular opinion, even if people will criticize, even if family will discourage it.
I'm a American citizen I migrated to the United States from Rio de Janeiro along with my parents back in 1975 to New York City, I have lived wondrous years here in the United States but now that both of my parents are gone and being divorced it became very lonely for me here in the United States so I daydream every now and then on going back to a land that I left long ago, I have very fond memories here in the United States ever since childhood but now I don't feel like I belong here anymore it would be quite emotional after a lifetime I'm going back where I came from God bless America and thank you for living in this country for so many years amen 😭
I’m in a very similar position, I haven’t been here as long as you but after 25yrs I feel just the same. Just bought my ticket I move back to Brazil in January, can’t wait to get there and see some of my old childhood friends again! God bless you brother!
@@RandomNPC001 glad to know I just want to tell you why you still have time get out of this country is falling apart, the same thing that happened with Germany and Yugoslavia now it's happening here and many people are so ignorant they cannot see this they are going to get rid of the republic when this happens Brazil in any other country will be the best place to be, this is the results will happen when a nation says God is no longer important.
@@marcelodesa2751 I feel the same. This country is going communist. No appreciation for freedoms now force jabbing everyone. Brazil is looking like the place to be. 🙏
Amazing video, I’m glad I was able to find your channel, as a Canadian that lives in Rio, I have to agree 100% with you both, and Yussuf is extremely insightful. Now I think it’s important for people to know that Brazil has been cheap because of the recent exchange rate, the devaluing of the Real shouldn’t last forever, so it’s good to also find something that gets you paid in the local currency, not just USD.
@@Karl__Pierre I’m always taking a look at the market and he’ll yeah getting paid in USDs these times have been a blessing, I suggest that anyone that has a business or wants to open one here, buy real estate do it while the Real is still cheap
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!
De nada e Bemvindo O Brasil! There's a magic in the air in Brazil that I have not quite felt in other places. It feels representational of the world and very human...except Brazilians are artfully welcoming. Almost to a fault. The landscape, people, and overarching theme of pursuing/living in happiness is what you'll take away. When do you think you're going to visit?
Yeah both are similar economically and geographically. By comparison I would say the economy is better in Brazil as well as the diversity of people but both very similar. I like Colombia for the location much easier to travel to and from the USA
He's right ... if you are a foreigner , the kind of person who is educated ( manners , skills & proper educations ) , smart , ambitious & has ' I can do it ' kind of attitude then Sao Paulo , Brazil is the right place for you ... Mostly , successful foreigners here are owners of Companies & small businesses . But if you are the kind of foreigner who's depending on employment then Brazil is not the right place for you ... 🎯💡 BOA SORTE 😘
this is exactly right you have to be either coming with an income source or highly adaptable to get the most out of Brazil. If the economic conditions were better I would argue that Brazil would be the coolest country in the world.
Economic status of Brazil ... well , I dont know exactly what's according to the survey but richness of Brazil in actual experience , support for citizens , residents , and for other countries ... yes I experienced it , Brazil is really rich . Brazil is like a woman who is wearing ordinary clothes but really rich , compare to other countries wearing branded clothes but all credit ... one thing I know , if all borders , all over the world will lockdown ... Brazil still remain the strongest , not hungry at all , why , because Brazil is big country & all natural resources are here ... complete ... that's what they dont know 😅
@@evelynbfrancisco resources wise things are good. But what I mean is average living conditions and income. That is the measure. There are alot of low earning to non earning Brazilians if all earned more pretty much like the USA then I would say it would be Utopia
@@Karl__Pierre earnings are depend on people , not depend on the government or in the country ... even spoon feeding if the people doesn't want to chew then nothing will happened ...
@@evelynbfrancisco not true. What is the average brazilian income and what is the average american income...systems matter, GDP matters, government matters, education matters, access to education matters, parental education matters, socioeconomic at birth matters, market size matters. What is the probability of a poor person born to a single mom with only a highschool education in the worst favelas probability of making $10,000/ a month vs the child of an educated couple in Leblon? The average brazilian income is $9000 a year. That's not good in a global economy or in Brazil. Can you survive...yes but that's about it. Brazil has alot of unrealized potential and that potential can be realized with proper leadership and system.
I'm from Brazil, and left the country when i was very young about 30 years ago, now looking forward to go back for good, but i have to find out what could i do in Brasil. Cheers bro
Nice video. Brazil is not a monolith. It is important to take a few trips beforehand before taking the big plunge, I feel. There are plenty of negatives here, but enough positives to make it a worthwhile place to live.
@@Karl__Pierre Ahhh I'm not sure where to start haha, I'm just pretty interested in doing what Yusef is doing (living abroad) and I learned some additional ways to make income online here in the video but I'm just not fully sure how to begin the process as I am not really in a profession where I can obtain private clients at the moment. The real estate option that you are doing also sounds pretty nice. I just feel like I need to learn more
16:48 love his debt free mindset. He's basically saying if your using credit your still borrowing though you are paying it off later it's still borrowing. Use your money it will make you rethink the purchase.
You should! So may Americans over look it, actually, we overlook the entire South America. Go there, experience the vibe and see it for yourself. Really a gorgeous country that has so much more potential.
Amazing . Rio was such a good time a few years back. It was during carnival so it was just bustling. Always had in mind to visit outside of carnival and see different cities.
Wzup brother. Just found your channel by accident when I was looking for information on Sao Paulo. I now live in Medellin but looking to head to Brazil to check it out for other options.
Nice, i'm moving to Medellin In August/September. Brazil is similar and different in alot of ways. Sao Paulo will be more like a Sunny version of Bogota. Certainly an amazing country keep me posted with your journey, I will also check out your channel
As a white Brazilian, I say: if you are an honest person, and especially well educated and skillful, please come and immigrate to Brazil. Do you want to contribute and participate in society? I don't see your race, let's be friends and brothers.
I think that's the rule of the world. If you're a good person it errodes the stupidity of racism. Racism is only a tool used by weak people who have nothing else.
Very valuable information. Although at this moment Brazil is not on my radar to relocate it is France. I do think tuning into Yusef’s channel will be extremely helpful. Pls your video you mentioned at the end. Thanks
@@Karl__Pierre one of my goals is to learn French and had a good vibe on my last visit. Brexit has changed the ease of movement for me. And I have not interest in returning to the US anytime soon.
@@Karl__Pierre A few ways: travelling to Paris , using learning materials, watching tv shows and language exchange apps. I find I learn best by immersion.
I love São Paulo, but I go there most for business propurses, I don't know how about live there. Never spent more than 1 week. I live in Rio de Janeiro. Great video, In my opinion, your friend really described what it means to be a "Brasileiro"
@@Karl__Pierre Brazil in general is less safe than the US. Rio specially. 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.
@@DarkoFitCoach Depends on the city; $1000/month is middle class and $3000/month is the top 10%. This is according to my Brazilian friend who runs a company with 12 employees.
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.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes you are correct because I always say even though I'm a minority in the USA with some social issues....i was born into a situation where I can earn and have options on where I want to live... In Brazil it's totally opposite the options are limited and the system seems setup to keep it that way which is unfortunate.
I’ve visited Brazil twice, been to SP and Rio. I loved both places. If someone wanted to go live in Brazil for a year to take Portuguese classes, is that expensive for an American? $1,200 a month sounds very obtainable
$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.
You can live pretty good with a 1200usd mth in Brazil. You can also learn Portuguese easily with the locals or take a course, whatever you want it won't cost much...
It is economical there and you'll have a great time. The people are amazing. There's also some danger of being harassed some places I am told, so it's not all as nice as I remember in the past - i felt like a celeb there, but Brazilians respect Americans and it's a culture that's very people friendly.
@@Karl__Pierre Hey! Thanx for the response. Your content is great! .. I play 80's - 90's style heavy rock. My plan is to head out where I can slash my overhead in half or better and focus on music, content creation and ...! Cheers!
The main trouble that prevents Brazil from reaching a paradise level is its political scene, so much corruption and lack of compromise... If we manage to shut off the political business, we can get to a new concept of modern society, and be attractful for world's enterpreneurs... welcome to my country!!
Agreed! But it will take the people to push for this progressive change. The country has ALOT of potential could be in the top 5 world economies if they got rid of the political BS. Every single Brazillian complains of the same, its up to the people to push this issue.
@@Karl__Pierre ahah 2 times. im not sure if it was covid but i neva had nothin like these. it was very diff from errthang i eva had.. fo d first time in my life taste changed n a few otha thangs i dont rememba anymo. my memory was basically wiped out too! lmao yeah my memory got pretty bad fo real, i forgot all d lil numbers about errthang n shit
you did a amazing job with this video and asking the questions most Americans wanted to learn. and i just saw in the comments that Yusef passed, goodness i'll have to research why. rip brother Yusef
Thank you. This is a debate I have regularly and I think it comes down to personal experience with debt. I was raised with the same thinking so throughout college, then tried to get a business loan and had no credit. Realized my parents were wrong and had their own hardships with personal credit. So it's important for me to sound off on the importance of credit and how to properly use it.
Just add some to the topic of what to do in Brazil for money. Brazil does not produce enough highly technical workers such in web design, cybersecurity, programming among other technological and science-driven fields of expertise. This could be open to a person with such a backgrounds.

European media only shows their beautiful castles, architecture but never what happens outside of those boring squares where the churches and museums are.
Perfeita definição, Murilo.
My girlfriend is Brazilian and lives in Paragominas. After watching this video I am more than confident I can live there comfortably. Also I gained valuable information of things I wouldn’t have even thought of. Thanks for the great content keep it up!

Is Paragomina expensive?
@@nalotaller9844 I’m not too sure about in general, however I know it’s cheaper than Rio!

This was such an eye-awakening discussion. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it, literally motivated me to map out my life so I can venture out of US soon, thank you!
What are your initial ideas? How much do you need to earn, what places etc
@@Karl__Pierre Looking into Brazil, Mexico, or Indonesia. Think $2k a month will be good for a starter.
@@yodi7778 I would pick Brazil. I really disliked Indonesia no intention to ever go back. Have you considered Colombia ARGENTINA OR PERU?
@@Karl__Pierre Oh, wow thanks for the heads up on Indonesia! I'm still weighing my options but I'll definitely look more into those countries as well as Portugal and Spain.
Great conversation bro. I'm eating rice and beans lunch in Rio de Janeiro as we speak. I'm from Los Angeles - I'm here for 30 days to try out if I like this life. Heading to SP in a few days... what a country and culture. You guys hit the nail on the head about the judgement, criticism, but I'm learning to be patient with those people back home. Damn yeah I was scared to try this life and I kept day dreaming for years, crisis hit and I felt like life was too short to wonder.
Eitherway I'm looking forward and onwards!
I prefer Rio vs Sao Paulo. The pace is different than the states that takes adjusting
I returned from Brazil 3 weeks ago and it's been my 8th trip.. I love the country and I'm looking into moving. Also, I have traveled to many countries and the only place where I have been racially profiled and harrassed is in the United States!
Good ol USA. "Go where you're treated best" as @nomadcapitalist says. What part of Brazil are you considering?
@@Karl__Pierre I'm considering Rio for starters as I continue to learn Portuguese. I return back from Brazil two weeks ago and I'm going back on August 1st to stay 2 or 3 months if not longer.

@@ernestscott46 Brazil is the best country in the world, but I wanted to go to the USA
Thank you for your video. I am from Ecuador and moved to the USA, I love this wonderful country. No country has the opportunities this country offers for everyone and I am thankful you pointed out that the basic things like minimum wage and the language put you in the top 1% in other places. It’s sad that people don’t see what they have and they think they have it the worst in the US. There’s a reason why so many of us left our countries and moved here to the USA. I also loved Brazil both times I was there.
The USA is a very good country as you said when it comes to opportunity. If you are willing to work hard and learn you will always have work and options. The only downside that I have with the USA is a lack of unity in the people and over emphasis on work. We need to do better as a nation to be one people and to do more to focus on living life. For example if you earned your US Salary in Ecuador where would you have a better quality of life and why?
USA is good for work and the opportunity to make wealth if you’re smart and wise enough. Otherwise the culture is toxic
No country is good for immigrants
@@Karl__Pierre -
In Ecuador they earn in dollars too
Great convo guys, very informative. We need more of these 🙏🏾
Thanks. Where else?
I hope you are very happy here in Brazil my brother, you are already a Brazilian God bless you ♥ ️🇧🇷🇺🇲

great idea about travelling healthcare workers for a few months of the year. i did not think about that. cheers

Thank you for the feedback Dawn. How did you come across thos video?
@@Karl__Pierre My boyfriend lives in Sao Paulo
@YusefWateef put a lot of things into perspective. 10 years ago I moved to Sao Paulo and after 2 years of not finding a job or able to learn the language I moved back to the US. I miss Brazil but I don't miss the problems that plague that big cities.
Don't judge a book by it's cover. I didn't expect this guy to be spitting facts like that!!! thumbs up!
Solid guest. Never judge a book by its cover.
@@Karl__Pierre I like you , hope you Will be happy in Brasil 👍
I moved from Brazil to US 5 years ago, I’m from São Paulo and I miss that place so much , nice video 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! I understand, Brazil is a place where people treasurer friends family and a good time, it's different here in the US
@@Karl__Pierre yeah that’s true
Great video, you asked all of the important questions man! I've been fantasizing moving to Brasil since studying there in 2016. Culturally Brasil is a breath of fresh air, and I miss having an excuse to speak Portuguese.
Rest in Power, Brother Yusef ✊🏾
Thanks for the feedback! What's stopping from making the jump?
@@Karl__Pierre Before it was my job tying me down, but I was laid off as of yesterday. I'm re-visiting the idea of relocating to Brazil to learn PT, even if just for 6months to a year if I can manage the visa. I could really use help from someone like Yusef who helps Americans wanting to try living in Brazil find apartments and get settled.
@@islandofmisfitboys8671 what will you do for income?
@@Karl__Pierre I have savings that I could live off of in Brazil for 6 months to a year if I can find safe housing in a city I'm interested in (SP, Rio, Salvador, Florianópolis) for less than US$1000/R$5000 monthly. I'd also be able work remote gigs if needed.
I really liked what Yusef said regarding being willing to be that kind of oddball that you need to be in order to make these kinds of moves in life a reality. I really think that's true. Have to get out of the way to find your own way right?
I like what he said as well but I don't know if it's getting out of your own way. I think it's more about accepting your path even if it's not the popular opinion, even if people will criticize, even if family will discourage it.
I'm a American citizen I migrated to the United States from Rio de Janeiro along with my parents back in 1975 to New York City, I have lived wondrous years here in the United States but now that both of my parents are gone and being divorced it became very lonely for me here in the United States so I daydream every now and then on going back to a land that I left long ago, I have very fond memories here in the United States ever since childhood but now I don't feel like I belong here anymore it would be quite emotional after a lifetime I'm going back where I came from God bless America and thank you for living in this country for so many years amen 😭
I’m in a very similar position, I haven’t been here as long as you but after 25yrs I feel just the same. Just bought my ticket I move back to Brazil in January, can’t wait to get there and see some of my old childhood friends again! God bless you brother!
@@RandomNPC001 glad to know I just want to tell you why you still have time get out of this country is falling apart, the same thing that happened with Germany and Yugoslavia now it's happening here and many people are so ignorant they cannot see this they are going to get rid of the republic when this happens Brazil in any other country will be the best place to be, this is the results will happen when a nation says God is no longer important.
give it a try
Awesome! lets do a live talking about that transition
@@marcelodesa2751 I feel the same. This country is going communist. No appreciation for freedoms now force jabbing everyone. Brazil is looking like the place to be. 🙏
Amazing video, I’m glad I was able to find your channel, as a Canadian that lives in Rio, I have to agree 100% with you both, and Yussuf is extremely insightful. Now I think it’s important for people to know that Brazil has been cheap because of the recent exchange rate, the devaluing of the Real shouldn’t last forever, so it’s good to also find something that gets you paid in the local currency, not just USD.
Yes the recent devaluation was insane which is why I was looking to buy in this devalued state. The Real seems to be stabilizing.
@@Karl__Pierre I’m always taking a look at the market and he’ll yeah getting paid in USDs these times have been a blessing, I suggest that anyone that has a business or wants to open one here, buy real estate do it while the Real is still cheap
Y'all brothas was speaking to my soul! I'll definitely be reaching out!

Thanks for watching. In the next few week I'll be covering RIO & Italy
Yusef seems like one of the best people to kick it with. Not into BS and super knowledgeable.
And he's really interested in showing people a pathway to their own goals. Really good dude.
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!
De nada e Bemvindo O Brasil! There's a magic in the air in Brazil that I have not quite felt in other places. It feels representational of the world and very human...except Brazilians are artfully welcoming. Almost to a fault. The landscape, people, and overarching theme of pursuing/living in happiness is what you'll take away. When do you think you're going to visit?
you are the best bro.. ENTP FOR LIFE. GOD BLESS
Haha thanks
Dam this video makes me want to go back to Brazil!!!!!!..........more interviews from Yusuf!
Go back!
Same here :( I’m stuck in Ireland at the moment due to the lockdown
I love how they completely disagreed on credit, found a cool medium and kept the conversation rolling along. Wonderful dialogue.
Yeah that's how life should be. We don't have to agree on all things. Everyone has there perspective
Great video, I will love to retire in Brazil, or maybe I will just do it in my country Colombia.
Thanks for the video.
Let me know if you visit!
Yeah both are similar economically and geographically. By comparison I would say the economy is better in Brazil as well as the diversity of people but both very similar. I like Colombia for the location much easier to travel to and from the USA
@@YusefWateef Sure, I will
He's right ... if you are a foreigner , the kind of person who is educated ( manners , skills & proper educations ) , smart , ambitious & has ' I can do it ' kind of attitude then Sao Paulo , Brazil is the right place for you ... Mostly , successful foreigners here are owners of Companies & small businesses . But if you are the kind of foreigner who's depending on employment then Brazil is not the right place for you ... 🎯💡
BOA SORTE 😘
this is exactly right you have to be either coming with an income source or highly adaptable to get the most out of Brazil. If the economic conditions were better I would argue that Brazil would be the coolest country in the world.
Economic status of Brazil ... well , I dont know exactly what's according to the survey but richness of Brazil in actual experience , support for citizens , residents , and for other countries ... yes I experienced it , Brazil is really rich . Brazil is like a woman who is wearing ordinary clothes but really rich , compare to other countries wearing branded clothes but all credit ... one thing I know , if all borders , all over the world will lockdown ... Brazil still remain the strongest , not hungry at all , why , because Brazil is big country & all natural resources are here ... complete ... that's what they dont know 😅
@@evelynbfrancisco resources wise things are good. But what I mean is average living conditions and income. That is the measure. There are alot of low earning to non earning Brazilians if all earned more pretty much like the USA then I would say it would be Utopia
@@Karl__Pierre earnings are depend on people , not depend on the government or in the country ... even spoon feeding if the people doesn't want to chew then nothing will happened ...
@@evelynbfrancisco not true. What is the average brazilian income and what is the average american income...systems matter, GDP matters, government matters, education matters, access to education matters, parental education matters, socioeconomic at birth matters, market size matters. What is the probability of a poor person born to a single mom with only a highschool education in the worst favelas probability of making $10,000/ a month vs the child of an educated couple in Leblon? The average brazilian income is $9000 a year. That's not good in a global economy or in Brazil. Can you survive...yes but that's about it. Brazil has alot of unrealized potential and that potential can be realized with proper leadership and system.
Thank you very much for this!!!
You're very welcome! Thinking of moving to Brazil?
I'm from Brazil, and left the country when i was very young about 30 years ago, now looking forward to go back for good, but i have to find out what could i do in Brasil. Cheers bro

Glad you think so!
Nice video. Brazil is not a monolith. It is important to take a few trips beforehand before taking the big plunge, I feel. There are plenty of negatives here, but enough positives to make it a worthwhile place to live.
Good to know!
Brazil has continental dimensions. You can't generalize, and if it's bad, just change the state, because each state is like a different country
Amazing wow! I'm so glad I ran into this tonight! I have learned a lot and I have so many more questions now! The mind has been sparked

@@Karl__Pierre Ahhh I'm not sure where to start haha, I'm just pretty interested in doing what Yusef is doing (living abroad) and I learned some additional ways to make income online here in the video but I'm just not fully sure how to begin the process as I am not really in a profession where I can obtain private clients at the moment. The real estate option that you are doing also sounds pretty nice. I just feel like I need to learn more
Love this guy!!

As a white Brazilian, I say: if you are an honest person, and especially well educated and skillful, please come and immigrate to Brazil. Do you want to contribute and participate in society? I don't see your race, let's be friends and brothers.
I think that's the rule of the world. If you're a good person it errodes the stupidity of racism. Racism is only a tool used by weak people who have nothing else.
I love it!
That sounds exactly like the USA.
Sound like a colonizer TubeBrasil. Just saying you are a white Brazilian neglects what you are saying about not seeing race. Do better

I love São Paulo, but I go there most for business propurses, I don't know how about live there. Never spent more than 1 week. I live in Rio de Janeiro. Great video, In my opinion, your friend really described what it means to be a "Brasileiro"
How would you describe life in Rio. Many are commenting it is unsafe but what are your thoughts
@@Karl__Pierre Brazil in general is less safe than the US. Rio specially. 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.
Really enjoyed this interview and the conversation was on point. Very clear and understanding. Thank you.

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.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes you are correct because I always say even though I'm a minority in the USA with some social issues....i was born into a situation where I can earn and have options on where I want to live... In Brazil it's totally opposite the options are limited and the system seems setup to keep it that way which is unfortunate.
Knew Yusef in Shanghai China. wow he's in Brazil. Cool good for him.
Awesome!
I’ve visited Brazil twice, been to SP and Rio. I loved both places. If someone wanted to go live in Brazil for a year to take Portuguese classes, is that expensive for an American? $1,200 a month sounds very obtainable
$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.
You can live pretty good with a 1200usd mth in Brazil. You can also learn Portuguese easily with the locals or take a course, whatever you want it won't cost much...
It is economical there and you'll have a great time. The people are amazing. There's also some danger of being harassed some places I am told, so it's not all as nice as I remember in the past - i felt like a celeb there, but Brazilians respect Americans and it's a culture that's very people friendly.

The main trouble that prevents Brazil from reaching a paradise level is its political scene, so much corruption and lack of compromise... If we manage to shut off the political business, we can get to a new concept of modern society, and be attractful for world's enterpreneurs... welcome to my country!!
Agreed! But it will take the people to push for this progressive change. The country has ALOT of potential could be in the top 5 world economies if they got rid of the political BS. Every single Brazillian complains of the same, its up to the people to push this issue.

The dichotomy of the two opinions regarding credit was interesting.
Thank you. This is a debate I have regularly and I think it comes down to personal experience with debt. I was raised with the same thinking so throughout college, then tried to get a business loan and had no credit. Realized my parents were wrong and had their own hardships with personal credit. So it's important for me to sound off on the importance of credit and how to properly use it.
