I am Swedish and I moved to Brazil over 5 years ago and live off passive income. In this channel I will show you the good and bad things about Brazil and also how I managed to create sufficient passive income to be financially free.
It's a bit complicated at the beginning but there is potential to make a significant amount of money. I will also make some videos in the future about my other non crypto investments.
I would say it's probably more that 24 hours of work since you have to put work in to keeping up with cryptocurrency news, but that is really not really a difference worth complaining about. Either way, it is still a very good return for your time. I have a cousin that lives in San Francisco and he practically lives off of promotional handouts from all the different startups and things. For example, a company will pose as a tech company but actually be a normal laundry service, and since it's more or less subsidized by investors, you can get your laundry done for less than the cost of detergent for the first couple years of its existence. I guess this is the same type of thing, except you can use it to pay all your expenses if you live in a place like Brazil since cryptocurrency is online.
You're totally right that it is more than 24 hours if I include all the time I spend reading about the crypto market and developments. What your cousin is doing sounds interesting!
@@nordicinvestor What you are doing sounds interesting as well. Unfortunately, it is not really something that I understand at present, so I will do more reading on the subject. Let me know if there is an opportunity that I should jump on immediately.
Brasília has a good amount of rain between the end of september and the mid of april after the mid of april until the end of september and sometimes october, it's a very dry city with almost no rain every year. Some people love this, some on the other hand, have the urge to leave in some of the hollidays to a place a little bit more "friendly" every year. So far in 2024, no rain has happened since the start of the "dry season" You should visit Goiania as well if you haven't already PS: Although the city has this "plane" or "butterfly" shape, Oscar Niemeyer never intended to make the city look like this. He always said that the idea of making brasilia like a plane or butterfly had no logic at all, and that's simply a coincidence people often do while looking the city from above
Have you got a cost comparison video of everyday purchases. Like food shopping, car fuel, entertainment costs? If you can compare it to SP / RJ or even Europe would help in my decision to move.
You can’t forgot Goiânia on your list. It was recently elected as the best capital of the country, very safe, clean and with relatively good infrastructure.
Awsome to see the actual cost. As a Swede i've got a job offer that is work for 6 months in Sweden and free for 6 months and im looking at making either Brazil or SE Asia my 2nd home for when im free. About the humidity, would u say it's much worse in the South compared to the North for instance or West/East or not a big difference?
Hi, the humidity is worse in the south of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina) and also in the West (Amazonia). In the central, eastern and northern areas of Brazil it is less humid. But then you have to consider other factors like crime, poverty, strength of economy etc and generally the south and south east are better with regards to these factors.
The toilet paper dumping problem I think it's more cultural than anything to do with the plumbing. In my house we changed habits over 20 years ago, it's an old house, old plumbing etc. We just use good quality toilet paper, one that dissolves easily in the water. We have been flushing the paper since then and we never had a problem with cluggings etc. You can flush the paper, indeed, as long as if its a good quality toilet paper meant to be flushed.
It sucks. Big time. Feels like a Soviet city for rich people, but in a mediocre way. Also, it could be heaven for public transportation and certainly a reference to the world in that regard, but guess what... It's bad even if compared to other Brazilian cities (Porto Alegre and Curitiba, for example). AND GUESS WHAT? Can't do SHIT without a car, it's even worse than sprawly US suburbs in many ways. I moved to Brasilia since a relative of mine worked for the government and traveled the world a lot, nothing really caught my attention. Also, from all the Brazilians, Brasilia locals were by far the most bizarre and self-absorbed. They were nothing like "real" Brazilians that i've met across the country. Also, it's one of the only places in the world (apart from Denmark) were people REALLY stay in their little social bubbles their whole lives, doing the same stuff with the same folks. Overall, super mediocre. Sorry. Florianopolis, Porto Alegre, Aracaju and Curitiba are by far the best capital cities in Brazil. I think it would be fair to put Brasilia right behind those. If it weren't by the locals, could be much better.
@quackgarage9551 I agree, but personally I don't like brazil, even though I was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil by itself is OK, but a lot of brazilians aren't nice people at all, I say this as someone who visited basically every region of Brazil, lived in Argentina, went to the USA, Uruguay, and planning to visit Iran and live in Italy, but honestly, out of all these people, brazilians truly were the rudest ones, at least the young people, the older ones were, honestly one of the most sweet people. But anyways, for me, brasilia is 5/10, like, nothing to say, it's not bad but it's not good, average
@@IanMorav Funnily enough (apart from Argentina) I lived in those exact countries, plan to visit Iran someday too and also wanna live in Italy (since most of my family is from there). Loved them all. Uruguay is amazing.
Great video! Really useful im due to travel to brazil tomorrow for the first time and will spend a month and do exactly what you said have a base in Rio and travel out to smaller cities.. just realised the videos you mentioned in the video isn't linked in the description 😅
Brasilia was made for cars. It's a nightmare for pedestrians and social mobility. It separates the rich parasites that work in the government from the actual working class population.
We're from Singapore, keen to buy property in Brasil, we'd like to engage you to help in property purchase. We will of course pay you commission for your work. Will this be something you're open to do? Thanks
Views 100 Location of chácara 10 The moistness and potential mold -99 It’s going to be extremely hard sell for me… whenever I see a wall with that mark of water I won’t ever think of buying it. My wife has a great trait for not wanting to be close to anything that has water damage. And that looks like the main reason for sale of that property. Unfortunately itt is at an angle where it receives a brunt of the water… also, it is tiny .. so. I’m sure that you’d be paying for the land. Don’t mean to poop on your efforts. But next time! A nice try. The views are superb !!
It looks absolutely beautiful there. I live on a similar property with a similar view full-time in West Virginia. The price per square foot is about the same, but from what I can tell, the quality of homes there is much higher. My house was built well, but most of them here are stick construction on top of a crawl space, or are trailers made in a factory and designed to only last 50 years. What is planning permission like in Brazil? Is it just for safety and practicality like in parts of the USA, or is it like in Britain where it takes around 6 months and the council usually denies requests?
Hi, planning permission is simple here, it usually takes less than a month and they accept most applications as long as they are reasonable. In the cities it is a different story.
@@nordicinvestor That sounds reasonable. Here, there is no planning permission most places, so walkable planned cities get easily destroyed by Wamart throwing down stores 5 miles outside the city (and then they artificially lower prices until all the local businesses go bankrupt, then raise prices a lot to line their pockets). Also, a french drain by the parking area would fix or at least help the dampness. There is nowhere for water to go except under the house, which is why the wall is wicking up water.
Don't you get troubles to struggle too much in order to solve them in Europe? Racism, wars, challenging climate, what else? Ah, yes, earthquakes and active volcanos
Very good list, congrats! We’re having a milder winter in Curitiba this year, and the city gets really charming during the colder months. Come visit us this year again!
It's interesting to see the perspective of someone who is not native to Brazil. You need to understand the reality of the favelas in the Federal District and the "gov-earnment's" neglect, which results in significant poverty very close to the seat of government. Considering that Brazil is the seventh-largest economy in the world, it is surprising that this happens so near to the country's governmental headquarters. Below is the location of a favela in the Federal District, considered one of the largest favelas in the world. maps.app.goo.gl/ex1jDUrtr1b3Dwft9
One thing is certain: we do have a lot of space, and the buildings are low so you get to see the sky in all it's glory. Also, the vegetation around the city is really unique, it is called Cerrado. We also have tourist cities not far from here. Since we are surrounded by the state of Goiás, most of it is in cities like Formosa, Pirinópolis , Caldas Novas, Alto Paraíso. There three towns offer a lot trails and waterfalls that are really beautiful.
I lived in Brasília my whole life and I must say Brasília has be best climate in the world. It is some work to get used to the dryness in the dry season (which lasts for 6 months average) But once you do... You'll be amazed with 6 months of intense SUN where the sun is further away (this happens in winter) And then in the rainy season is where the sun is supposed to be super hot, but then now we get air humidity and clouds to even things out. So in sum: not a cold winter, not a hot summer. I can get by with pants and a small hoodie all year round, never gets too hot or too cold, I find this completely amazing. Other thing I must say is that it rarely rains in the mornings in the rainy season... even though we get a LOT of rain, completely disproportionated 6 months raining for when it should rain the whole year... But not in most mornings, so if you're an outdoorsy person, every morning is a good morning for a workout, basicaly. Specially if you live close to the Lake, which boosts life quality a lot, specially in the dry season. Cheers from Brazil, fellow youtubers <3
