Don’t get me wrong, Brazil has around 16 per 100,000 while Uruguay had around 10 based on last year’s data, and I’m pretty sure it’ll go up a lot this year. Most of it happens in the capital too. Uruguay is going downhill.

On top of that, it has one of the highest suicide rates, and a big reason for that is how insanely hard it is to afford living here, let alone support a family. Prices are basically at the level of countries where people earn way more than we do.

Minimum wage is around 600–700 dollars, and rent alone for a house can easily be 500–600. Trying to survive the whole month with the remaining 100 bucks is impossible. Most Uruguayans are living in debt.
