So many brazillians have left this country to marry into europe or the united states. Years and years and years. If the locals dont want to live here, why would anyone else?

@Paty It really depends on what you are planning to do and where are you going to stay. Going to the beach, parks and forest is for free. Nice restaurants and rent can skyrocket. Local beer at a bar (€2-3) and public transportation (€1 subway and bus, uberX is €0,33/km) are cheap if u compare to Europe. If you provide more info I could help you make an estimate.

Average salary in Rio de Janeiro is 1200 reais, you can't live in a decent place with this ridiculous money, because with taxes you receive 1020 reais net. Extremely dangerous and public healthy system don't work, if you get sick it's better don't have a real problem if not... you'll die. Don't have doctors nor structure to help. To buy enough food for a family gonna pay at least 450 reais. To live in a people surrounded by slums controled by drug dealers at least 600 to 800 reais. Paying the light, if you don't steal energy as happen in slums, gonna pay more 100 to 200 reais. Public education doesn't exist, students of high school don't know basic maths. It's a fuc... place, extremely dangerous, expensive and salaries can't afford to physiological needs. My advice as a citzen, run to the hills (run away from this country forgotten by god and controlled by devil.)

I think the prices you listed are accurate enough but as for house renting you may expect huge variation. I live in the most expensive area of Rio (Leblon) and even here prices for a good two or three bedrooms varies. If the apartment is close to the beach (one block away) it will cost high but if you pick un apartment of the same size three to four blocks away prices will bo much lower, near half the price. Other aspect that have to be considered is how old the building is. There are very good apartments in older buildings with only one elevator or without car parking space that will be a bargain, even in Leblon or Ipanema.
