I lived for a whole year studying in Brazil. It makes me miss this place alot; If I can earn money and work remotely I will go back to Brazil for sure.
Wow! Thanks for that! I’m still trying to get a hang of this TH-cam thing! I’m still a bit shy in front of the camera, so I feel like leave out a lot of details. Stay tuned because there’s a lot more on the way!
Parabéns on being married to a Brasileira! Brazil is indeed an amazing place. I hope you and your wife can visit soon. Thanks for the support! Se cuidam!
Olá Billy...no Brasil você vai sempre encontrar os produtos, frutas, carnes e derivados em supermercados, que se chamam de atacadões, e em feiras livres...muito mais barato de que comprar em mercados e conveniência na orla marítima ...
È verdade! Eu esqueço de mencionar muita coisa porque ainda estou me acostumando com a câmera! Muito obrigado pela dica, espero que tenha gostado! Brasil é bom demais!
Obrigado pelo seu comentário! Fico feliz que tenha gostado dos meus vídeos. É interessante notar que minha voz pode parecer diferente em português e em inglês, algo que nunca tinha pensado antes. Fortaleza é realmente uma cidade linda, e eu amo morar aqui. Mais uma vez, obrigado pelo elogio e por assistir aos meus vídeos!
I was born in Brazil, came to the US when I was 14. I am 47 now and the idea of retiring here in the US makes no sense to me. We are looking at Meirelles and immediate areas in Fortaleza to buy an apartment but yes, most Americans live pretty miserable lives after retirement.
Fortaleza. Check out my channel I have plenty of videos on the city. Soon I will be traveling throughout Brasil to explore other parts of the country. Se Deus quiser. 🙏🏻
14:48 much much better than the crap in the other store. that ground beef in the other was mostly bone. You can tell its better bro the meat is a darker red
I'm an American Citizen already in Brazil. I will stay in Brazil past April 10,2024 until about May 15. I wish to extend my stay past the initial 90 days. Question is: When does the Visa start counting my new 90 day period (assuming I'm approved). Will the new 90-day period begin at the end of my initial 90 day period...or... will my new 90 days start the day I am approved? I'd like to do 90 days, not leave the country, and start a new 90 days with the new eVisa I will ideally acquire. Advise? Experience with this? PS: With all due respect, the Brazilian government website is trash, at best. It is always out of service or out of date. That is why I am asking you kind folks. Thanks.
I've found icecream prices for the most popular brands in Brazil to be about twice as expensive as the prices in colombia, not 6x as you suggested. Brands vary widely in price, up to 10x, and also the place where you shop makes a big difference so we have to account for that. Picking the fanciest brand on a small convenience shop near the beach and compare it to the most popular brands can lead to huge discrepancies. For example, Ben & Jerry's, is ridiculously expensive here in Brazil, more than 10 dollars for a pint, or 20+ dollars per liter, 10x more expensive than the usual cheaper brands that tend to stay around the 2 - 2,50 USD per liter. Haagen Dazs is even more expensive! Those brands are off limits when comparing, cos they're foreign companies that have to achieve their profit targets in their own currency, plus there's international shipping and import taxes. Other than that there's no justification for charging those ridiculous prices. It's double the price paid in the US! 😱 Great video, and great portuguese you have there, almost no accent. Kudos!
I see what you’re saying about the price differences and totally agree that where you buy and the brand can make a big difference. What I was trying to highlight is the value I got in Colombia. I bought a larger box of ice cream there that could hold the equivalent of six of the smaller containers I showed in the video, for about the same price as just one container in Brazil. So, while it might not always be six times more expensive across all brands, when you look at the amount of ice cream I got for the price in Colombia, it felt like a huge difference in value compared to what I’d pay here in Brazil. My explanation skills in front of the camera are terrible. I’m still learning. Thanks for your input.
Thx for confirming that. I question these prices a lot if they are really that cheap. I know they are but still. Seems too good to be true. Mind you both my girl and I live off of $200 a month for food. That’s three meals a day for each of us, really good hefty homemade Brazilian and Colombian food. It’s Super cheap.
@@BillyGringo God that's good to know. I don't know how much you know about what's going on here but just to give you an example. People are outraged on tiktok because a Big Mac meal at McDonald's is now 16 to $18. Now I will tell you I lift really heavy and I trained hard so I probably eat more than like some vegan guy or some hippie but I still think that's expensive. Eggs were $9.42 a dozen last on my checked and when I go to Brazil and live with my girl in Vitoria (vila velha) hopefully I can eat for around the same price with both of us together I'm praying
@@Kristoferwitha_k American fast food in Brazil is more expensive here than in the states. But groceries are still cheap if you are earning in dollars. it’s not so cheap for me because I make a living in Brazil. We eat out 15 to 20 times a month and our average meals costs the equivalent of 13 US. Some as low are 9 bucks for the both of us and as high as 25 - 30 bucks. If you have a remote jobs earning in dollars, you’ll be good in Brazil.
@@BillyGringo I had one but I got laid off but I'm working to get a new one but it's not easy I also noticed the dollar is dropping in value rapidly so i think its like 4.62 maybe now down from 5 reais to the dollar. And we are heading straight into a recession so hopefully it will still be affordable there because I know Brazil is more expensive than Columbia and some other countries

You should come back for sure. Brazil is amazing. You should try to teach English online. There’s a site that has a lot of jobs, it’s called Cambley.
@@BillyGringo Alright will check that out then. IS It easy to get clients beggining in that Endeavour?
@@webtesteur-testavis1926 they provide the clients. Check out their site, or hope on TH-cam. There is tons of info on them and how to get a job.
I'm actually planning to do this next year. I can't wait.
O canal so fluindo🎉
Billy.. this is some of the best "boots on the ground" content that I've seen. Thanks for taking the time to film it partner.
Wow! Thanks for that! I’m still trying to get a hang of this TH-cam thing! I’m still a bit shy in front of the camera, so I feel like leave out a lot of details. Stay tuned because there’s a lot more on the way!
The Best channel......
Amazing content! Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I'm married to a Brazilian, and I'm trying to make it down to Brazil. Right now we are in the states looks like it's a good time.
Parabéns on being married to a Brasileira! Brazil is indeed an amazing place. I hope you and your wife can visit soon. Thanks for the support! Se cuidam!

Great informative video. Wholesale places are a lot cheaper than your standard supermarkets. We do groceries at Assai. It comes out cheaper.
Bom dia.
Sua voz em português é diferente de voce falando em ingles, não sei se ja te falaram isso. Fortaleza linda cidade. Parabéns pelos vídeos.😅😅😅😅

If you still have the language and good retirement, you’ll be fine in Brazil but a tight budget is not fun.
@@BillyGringo Sim, o Portugues a gente nunca esquece mas voce tambem fala muito bem. Abracos amigo 😊
Where are you living in Brazil ? I'm from Rio, but I live in Orlando for 25 years now. Planing to go back next year after retirement !!!

Morando no Algarve
