Hello my friends, Gustavo here again. As a good Brazilian, I have had the curiosity to know which are the cheapest countries for us Brazilians, and for this reason I decided to gather here in this article and guide my fellow countrymen, which are the cheapest countries for us Brazilians, who earn our money in Real (R$) currency. Can you imagine paying two or three reais for a meal? R$ 30 per night in an extremely luxurious hotel room, or renting a house that in Brazil would be considered a mansion for only R$ 1,200 per month? In this article you will get to know the countries with the cheapest costs of living in the world, countries where the Real is worth a lot, and countries that you would be rich with your money from Brazil. Believe it or not, but there are some countries where the cost of living is so low that you can rent real mansions, luxury apartments, beach front houses, paying the same price as an extremely simple house in Brazil.
