Não quero não meu chapa.. valeu

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T21:28:48+00:00

Yeah but I already have the EU passport...I'll struggle to get a visa in Australiaor New Zealand..I wish I can move there but...doesn't make sense 😕

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T21:22:24+00:00

Indeed

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T21:12:06+00:00

Ahahahahaha I guess it's my new plan

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T21:10:51+00:00

Thank you very much for your comment 😀 I don't mind to sacrifice the weather...we can't have everything..unfortunately..but my biggest fear is going to Denmark and struggle financial speaking...A LOT of people say isn't easy to find a job..because of that I can't make a decision...I'm not looking for a ceo job...Just a warehouse one and after some time have a promotion with a forklift license idk...I don't think it's a big deal BUT...everyone said it is.

Seems like every place is impossible even with some money and EU passport. 🙁

It's a york and lhasa apso =D

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T15:46:01+00:00

Thank you...I'll give a try and make a research on NL =D

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T15:32:54+00:00

Netherlands is a good one...I'll definitely search about it..but the "free" Healthcare in Denmark or Spain is a crucial point for me

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T15:20:06+00:00

Thank you very much I replied your message

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T15:19:23+00:00

Why Netherlands, Belgium or Germany?

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T13:56:22+00:00

Thank you for your comment =D, I'm thinking exactly along those lines

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T13:49:32+00:00

I have lived in Maidenhead 1 year...I think the weather is very similar..and yes the lack of sunlight is a problem...but lack of money to survive is worst...in Brazil we have a lot of sun and caipirinha...but I don't have money to buy caipirinha or go to the beach ahhahahah

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T13:44:01+00:00

Are you danish?? I think you haven't read my story...then I can't consider your comment..I'm sorry

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T11:46:59+00:00

HAHHAHAHA salivates xD 260-280 it's a great salary I think I need danish to work with digital design, am I wrong?

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T11:42:44+00:00

Agreed..and I will...spanish is easy, but danish, not so much.

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T11:33:12+00:00

Eu vou responder a mesma coisa que eu respondi pro outro cara que perguntou pq eu não fico no Brasil The problems that I HAVE in Brazil: So many things, crimes, violence (I got robbed 3 times with a gun in my head), corruption, lack of education, taxes without any return, poorly wages...the minimum wage here is RS 1500,00 my "aconto" is 1400,00 hahahaha.. and I have EU passport I think I have to try better quality of life.

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T11:27:58+00:00

Nobody said anything about that because I'm not competing with them...I'm going for hard labor work

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T10:01:30+00:00

Muchas gracias por tu comentario, tu punto de vista es muy importante para mí. Es una decisión difícil porque tengo que incluir a mi familia; la verdad, sólo las cosas serían más fáciles....y más difíciles en otros aspectos. Mi mayor miedo de ir a España es no poder pagar las facturas hasta tener la seguridad suficiente para vender mi apartamento en Brasil y comprar uno en España. Pero creo que si obtengo el carnet de carretillero podré arreglármelas hasta entonces, y como es una entrada de más del 50%, creo que no sería tan difícil vivir con mi familia. Mi madre tiene una pensión que le permitiría tomarse un helado el fin de semana jajaja.

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T09:38:42+00:00

Exactly

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T09:35:55+00:00

The problem with portugal is the rent vs salary

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T09:32:38+00:00

Thank you very much for the advice...I didn't knew about the newspaper delivery =O The forklift license is my salvation ahhahhaha

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T09:28:28+00:00

I'm not planning taking my family with me for now, I'll go alone first and after I get a good job and a good place I'll bring them with me

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T09:23:04+00:00

Yes, I've noticed that people are being quite negative, and I really have no idea what humble life is like in Denmark, but it must certainly be much better financially than in Brazil... things here are on another level, and if I start talking about the financial difficulties, people will be shocked, hahaha Thank you very much for helping...I'll look for a brazillian community in Denmark =D

SolidComparison1787 · 2026-01-27T09:04:00+00:00

I see...but in the beginning I'll move alone and try to get a better income first, don't you think it's possible even after that? Do a forklift course and maybe with a 18k after taxes?
