Brazil is better than Sweden!

[@hanstubben]

As a Dutch born and migrated to Brazil when I was 25 years old. Now 35 years after, still think it was a good move. The warm weather is very much easier to accustomed to than having to deal with cold weather. I do live in the interior of the state of São Paulo, so we barely have cold weather over here. A thing that's specifically better for us that got schooled in Europe is that we have lots of opportunities to get a business running. Even if the first doesn't work, you can start over without getting real broke. For sure there are problems over here, but I personally can't complain.

[@hanstubben]

@@pedroernesto5283 aqui no Brasil. Se você tem um pouco conhecimento amais, não é muito complicado de criar oportunidades pra vc mesmo. Aqui tem muita falta de conhecimento por causa do sistema escolar que tem aqui. Quem tem dinheiro tem acesso a boa escola, mas não garante que os mais talentos tem essa oportunidade. Na Europa qualquer um pode ir para as melhores escolas e universidades. Assim todos recebem boa educação conforme capacidade que tem. Isto gera muito competição na Europa, e muitas vezes vc vê engenheiro trabalhar na linha de produção. Essa extra capacidade que a gente teve por causa da educação, faz que a gente tem mais oportunidades aqui no Brasil no mercado de trabalho ou para negócio próprio. Como se diz, no país de cegos quem tem um olho é rei.

I was born in Brazil but moved to Europe when I was a teenager together with my family. I first lived in the Netherlands for more than fifteen years but I had to leave the country because that horrible weather gave me a chronic sickness. In Brazil girls grow up playing football with the boys in the streets and in the school grounds. I also have two older brothers who always toke care of me when I was younger. I grew up seeing my father and brothers cooking and cleaning around the house, we were treated as equals at home so, when I see men and women, I don’t separate them by sex, I just see people. I live in Germany now and most of them are square heads as they can be. I just got fired from a job because I treated all my male coworkers as I treat the women. Never missed a day of work, always treat everyone with respect and kindness but it seems in Germany you can’t talk to men at your workplace when you are an immigrant because the bosses always get the wrong idea. Another colleague from Eastern Europe talks to everyone and in the summer goes to work wearing the shortest shorts( her business, if she can, why not?) and no one ever said anything. I am also used to talk to strangers. In Brazil and in other countries in the world it’s normal to talk with people you don’t know while waiting to buy bread, in the doctor, in the train, etc. Another day, on my way home after an exhausting day at work, I saw an elderly French couple lost in the train and they were getting really anxious. I waited to see if anyone would come to their help but the other passengers didn’t move, they just stood on their seats with their long faces. So, I stepped in and asked them if I could help, it’s the Brazilian nature.Because I was near my home, I showed them Google maps and told them to change trains in my station. We stepped out together and I left them in the right platform and went home. The next four or five days every time I stepped out of the train a police car drove past me and also a special transport police was waiting on the corner of the train station. Every time I go shopping or to the supermarket there’s always someone following me around. I can’t leave Europe because I have children who were born and are studying here but one day I will go back to Brazil because I miss the people and the culture over there. I’m really tired of those cold, long faced people.

I'm from the countryside of São Paulo, I've been living in Europe for over 9 years now, mostly in the German speaking world. Brazil is wonderful if you earn well. In Europe it's very easy to find a good paying job that lets you put food on the table - but actual growth? That's difficult. 49% of someone's salary in Austria is taxed. In Brazil, with a European salary, you could have drivers, housekeepers, cooks, gardeners...in Europe you MUST be content with being middle class and having no luxuries at all. Small apartments, only rich people have houses in Central Europe, everything you do is communal. Public swimming pools, public transportation, public hospitals, public parks, it's wonderful to be poor or working class in Europe. I'd rather be middle class or upper middle class in Brazil.

before anything, all the reasons for crimes getting worse in Sweden you mentioned are only due to relatively new policies allowing lawless people with no intention to assimilate with the culture of your country to be welcome there, but anyway, to the main subject of the video: Brazil is not the problem, the government in Brazil is... …and( Im not talking about parties, left or right ) but just the Government itself (The State). When you start to understand the big picture of the place and see the level of corruption, state size, lack of economic freedom, no decent public services, and many other things you will learn from your own experience and will understand what I´m talking about. (The Brazilian population works an average of 5 months of the year just to pay taxes, and in exchange receive a public service worse than a poor African country and sometimes no public service at all). You probably have this view of a great place, but it can only be true if you make a minimum of 10 times more money than the standard of the national income, and of course, if you receive more money than the majority of the people you will have a “good life”, in this same line of thought, even North Korea may be a “nice place to live”. --- Don´t confuse People being Social with People being nice or good! Yes, Brazilians can spend hours talking and being social with you, but at the same time do not care to remove the garbage from the streets, do not help a lost elderly woman alone, or even act normal ignoring people when asking for help in the street when the victim of the crimes is not them, even better, if you want to check this for yourself, try to cross the street waiting for the driver to stop the car politely and give you the pass/preference to walk, you will get old. Bro, Indian People are some of the nicest/most welcoming people I ever dealt with, but at the same time, India is the capital of r@pe on the Planet, so you should be very careful with these judgments of "nice people" because being Social People does not always mean being Good People. --- Is very simple to understand why Brazil will always be stuck in the past: Most Brazilians have a mindset of outsourcing any problem they may have as the government's responsibility (and this is the doom of the place, the location has great potential, but the people have a weak and dependent mindset, and this is why the site is and will always be “the Country of the future”). This Big State mentality is embedded within the Brazilian Culture and Mind (on both sides of ideologies as well ‘Left and Right’). The Brazilian mindset is like a 15 years old spoiled girl from an American Middle Class who thinks is gonna save the world, but has zero experience with it, is already programmed to complain about everything (including the Gov), but at the same time is the first to take advantage when given the opportunity, always willing to be a politician, a public employer, and have some easy deal with the state (just to produce less and have a guaranteed money every month to buy the new iPhone). *** This is the famous dictate: “Jeitinho Brasileiro” or in English: “The Brazilian way”, ## meaning: “do your actions/work the poorest and minimally way as possible, so you can have an easy life, try to take advantage above others, even if is morally wrong, profit enough to surpass the situation, and, later without noticing keep yourself in the same comfort zone you were before”. Brazilian people love to complain “mainly about their insatisfactions about the Gov.”, but when they have any opportunities or power they just want to suck from the system/state they have initially complained about. Just look at how many scandals we had with the ‘auxilio emergencial’ a payment made by the government during the pandemic only for people in really bad situations, where almost 69 million people received the money, and a lot of them with proven high-income who quietly took the money as well. --- All of this without mention the Welfare state in Brazil which is beyond ridiculous, (already in 13 of 26 states of the country more people are receiving ‘bolsa familia’ the monthly paycheck from the government than people actively registered working!). The culture in any ideology in Brazil is to incite the population to be more state-dependent and less economically free, they have this childish view of no personal responsibility, which could seen as not a big problem for now, but in a decade "or less" the place could just be in one of these 2 options: 1 - The same as it is now, with the economy always and slowly stagnating while the World keeps advancing. Providing a good life to only a minority with money while the rest of the population is getting even hungry; 2 - Keep this "Brazilian way" mindset together with this “supportive” and always ‘bigger state’ giving money to people who do not want to produce anything, a very problematic location to anyone who is trying to progress and produce something valuable, penalizing anyone trying to develop a better future, having no stimulus, and on the contrary, facing much more setbacks, adversities and bureaucracies than other places in the World, forcing productive people to leave the place, and as a consequence having an overall even more poor Country. --- You need to learn how to compartmentalize, mainly because two things can be real at the same time, the place can be this Physical paradise in a geographical context, with very social people, but hell in living conditions and an always impoverishing place for future generations, with the state pretending to help while is worsening to provide better opportunities for the majority of the population, just like Cuba, or what seems to be happening in California as well. Again, just understand that I´m not criticizing political views, but the mentality to always depend on the state "which in this case Brazilians have" and unfortunatelly keep this position of “do not give a f*ck” having this “Easy Life” as you mentioned in the video. There is always a choice you can make, pretend to live in a Utopia and wait for others to save you, or accept the actual reality that can be bad and build a better future(the Utopia) by yourself not depending on anyone (which lamentably is not the Brazilian mentality). You as a grown-up adult indeed need to “give a f*ck” whether you like it or not, because “not having an Easy Life” is part of Life, and as much as you want to run from that, you need to face it, otherwise all this “Easy life” someday will charge the price. --- Lastly, I also highly recommend you to have a "Plan B" in case you need to leave the place for an emergency, because I have already seen it happen dozens of times to many people, in just a matter of days the State Power in Brazil can become so outrageous huge that make authoritarians places like Saudi Arabia a joke, and with a simple signature they can confiscate everything you have and throw you in jail just for messing with the wrong person, the institutions here are simply not reliable to provide real justice. So I recommend you to be welcome and enjoy the place now but understand that is only a stopover.

If you work remotely (earning in USD) it makes a lot of sense moving to Brazil. I'm Brazilian and of course living in the big cities (São Paulo and Rio) is not very safe (although ironically São Paulo STATE - NOT THE CITY - is known as the safest state in the country). So if you move to the countryside of São Paulo and some cities in the south region you'll be in one of the safest places in the country. In terms of expenses, Brazil is considerably cheaper than European countries. If you spend between US$1,500-2,000 per month and you're single, you'll be in the top 1% of the country and have a very confortable life. Additionally, if you work remotely (earning in USD) and if you make around US$100k a year, you can save a lot of money and in a few years you can return back to Europe with a lot of savings if you want. Obviously, you have to work remotely. If you work for a Brazilian company (except if you work in Financial Market), you're not gonna make too much money. As I always said, if the government was focused on solving the security/violence problem in the big cities, fighting organized crimes, and invest in primary education (more than higher education), Brazil would be the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (BY FAR!!!).

If you live on a Swedish size average salary in Brazil it will be all good though 🙂 But you are absolutely right, comparing someone working in a supermarket in Sweden to someone in Brazil... Sweden wins the standard of living contest hands down The education system works out better in Sweden also as public schools (free of charge) can prepare you for a place in a top university (free of charge) making it possible for anyone with the talent and will to move up in the world, while in Brazil getting into one of the top universities typically requires costly private school preparation making it out of reach for the vast majority of the population

[@philipe5654]

@@Marcelo-Caruccio Brazil, as a whole, has a per capita income of around $20,000 (PPP), significantly lower than Sweden's $66,000 (PPP). This represents a 3.6-fold difference in income per person, even after adjusting for cost of living. Within Brazil, there are notable regional disparities: the South has a per capita income 20-30% higher than the national average, while the Northeast's per capita income is approximately 50% lower than the national average. This means that residents in the South have incomes modestly above the Brazilian average, but they still earn about 2.5 times more than those in the Northeast. Many rural areas in the Northeast experience levels of Human Development Index (HDI) comparable to regions in South Asia and parts of Africa. In general, most Brazilians experience a lower standard of living compared to residents of developed countries like Sweden. Even in the South, where incomes are relatively higher, living standards fall short when contrasted with those of wealthier nations. Meanwhile, the Northeast's situation is particularly concerning, as it reflects some of the lowest living standards not just in Brazil, but in the entire world. While the average Brazilian earns R$2500, the median income income is only R$1500 due to high inequality. Compared to the developed world, Brazil is sadly a poor country.

I agree that European climate in higher latitudes is something that can only be stoically endured. It's already bad here in Germany and in my book Scandinavia is for masochists.

I grew up in Rio, a place with an eternal summer and gorgeous tropical landscapes including the most beautiful beaches one could imagine, and know they are full of shit, talking about things they lack personal experience. Money is important but unfortunately it can neither buy an enjoyable climate nor the beauty of the tropics (except for a few weeks during vacation). I stay in Germany out of pragmatism, not because I love or enjoy it so much. It's a materially safe life but very lacklustre and surprisingly modest despite a good income (before taxes, haha).

Du gjorde en bra video! Tack! Du borde komma till Fortaleza. Nordöstra Brasilien är bättre än södra Brasilien i nästan allt du pratade om.

[@nordicinvestor]

Fortaleza is very nice city!.

[@favOriTe-v6e]

After reading the comments I find it interesting how brazilians can be such bright people but at the same time extremely pessimistic to the point of being annoying. I understand Brazil can be frustrating if you don't have money, but whining all the time will only make things worse. Our problems will not be fixed through endless complaints. Count your blessings and you'll receive more.

[@favOriTe-v6e]

to the creator of this video: great content, thanks for appreciating our country. We need some good energy lol

[@nordicinvestor]

I was trying to be positive about brasil. Not everyone appreciated it though 😂

[@Edgar2023ES]

I think it's a fair video. But, there are worse parts in Brazil. You have lived in a good city. Anyway, I thank there are at least 50 good cities in Brazil to live in.

[@mutantmass5334]

What is tax rate if you had US dividends share in Brazil ? I have see a reform with a 15% tax rate ? Its true ? Thanks for all your videos !

[@MarinaLaroche]

Following.

[@nordicinvestor]

Hi, yes the tax rate on foreign dividends is now 15%

[@elijahmuhammed2915]

Recently ive been meeting hips of new plp moving to Brasil from South África, Russia, and UK

[@nordicinvestor]

That's cool that lots of gringos are moving to Brazil

[@luisamaria3068]

​@@nordicinvestorthat is bad for BRL

9:17 Swedish police should get a training from BOPE (elite police force from Rio) 😂

[@loudrager237]

Eh,no. Unless if you want some beach,more greener forest or whatever,There is nothing that you would really want in brazil.

[@nordicinvestor]

😢

[@mariajensen4538]

Ubatuba in Sao Paulo is also very beautiful

[@fringedweller221]

So are you saying life is better near the equator than it is near the arctic circle? (Said with a smile)

[@nordicinvestor]

😂

[@Marcelo-Caruccio]

I think you are really mistaken on here being cheaper than Sweden. ONLY if you are earning in Euros or Dollars. If you get paid in Reais, EVERYTHING is hugely more expensive than any place in Europe. BANANA is cheaper in Great Britain than it is in Brazil (in fact, it costs 10 times more in Brazil than in Britain - 0.70 pence to 7 Reais - do not make currency conversion, just think purchasing power (a £2000 salary and a R$2000 salary).

[@nordicinvestor]

You make a good point that Brazil is cheap for someone with dollars/euros/sterling, unfortunately not for someone earning Reais.

[@ZFCaio]

You need to earn at least the equivalent to $1000 to have a good life in Brazil, that's the bare minimum, and for a countryside city, if we are talking about cities like Floripa, BH or Curitiba I would say at least $2000

[@umcaraqualquer3640]

Exato. O povo faz conversão de moeda. Essa é a maior cagada possível em qualquer análise econômica desse tipo. A Paridade de Poder de Compra do Sueco médio é quase 4 vezes maior que a do Brasileiro médio. É bizarro o quão errado a informação dele está

[@AngeliqueMariaAguiardeMiranda]

Haha you really know Br, Floripa is getting super expansive. I used to lived in NYC, I glady pay more in eletronics, bc I rather have SUS. And bf anyone comes here saying stupid stuff about SUS, my mom had trombosis and SUS saved her life 3 times. Go research how much a surgery like that, with long hospitalization, would cost in the US.

[@nordicinvestor]

You are right, healthcare in the US is crazy expensive.

[@leonardoananda916]

o Senhor tem o queijo e a faca na mão, tente aprender o Português, não precisa ser perfeito , temos bastante paciência em ajudar aos que tentam aprender, você vai descobrir, literalmente um mundo novo e sua interação com a sociedade e o país, como um todo vai ser muito melhor para você. Apenas 5 % da população fala inglês e destes 1% apenas é fluente. Veja quanta coisa você perde ....

[@aar8808]

Unless you're not allergic to cheese queues and bureaucracy, yes Brazil, namely Santa Catarina is better.

[@MarinaLaroche]

Cheese queues ?

[@nordicinvestor]

😂😂

[@blackdecker8481]

Why Brazil import Basmati Rice or produce basmati rice? Anyone know

[@Marcelo-Caruccio]

we dont eat that.

[@nordicinvestor]

Basmati Rice is not very common here

[@Nat.ali.a]

Only some high end restaurants, it is not mainstream

[@ers-br]

Those from cold countries should come to south Brazil for a less drastic change. They have way better infra, culture and respect for others. And a climate way better than those cold countries...

[@nordicinvestor]

👍

[@kiwidude112]

Hey mate. Thanks for the video. Can you link the geoarbitrage video? Thanks!

[@nordicinvestor]

sorry forgot to add the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4rVnGZua9CUeKc

[@Sigfredagerbo]

Jeg har en kandidat i farmaci fra Danmark, tror du jeg vil have nemt ved at finde et job i Brasilien?

[@no_more_spamplease5121]

You would likely find a job in the pharmaceutical industry or in a lab. There are a lot of manufacturers in Anápolis, for instance.

[@michelipires2240]

Foreign people in general think about brazil from its stereotype, Brazil is more than the capitals, there is a lot development in the countryside and high quality of living. They would be surprised seeing adults with their kids in an environment full of alcohol, like bars; its completely commun and we don´t have problems with alcohol addiction.
