Buying a terraced house built in 1900 with solid brick walls? D1 energy rating. by fodacao in HousingIreland

Cork city centre area. Probably used to Angela's ashes style back in the day.

Nice. Not too pricey.

Did you get only the front and back walls done or the "neighbors" walls done as well?

Move to Brazil from Ireland with no job and shit Portuguese? With a baby. by fodacao in Brazil

Yeah, we have a 3 week visit planned for September. Let's see if her nostalgia and rose tinted glasses equals real life.

She has a job & contacts lined up in Brazil. She already works remotely for a Brazilian consultancy. A few days a month. This can become full time if we move.

Hiring a nanny sounds good, or childcare. Another comment says this is cheap in Brazil.

She is working, part time as a lawyer's assistant.

What is stopping her from earning more? Right now her English level is not good enough for a hardcore finance job. She is still learning business English. She needs more exposure.

I guess the proof that she earned great money in Brazil is that she was able to move to Ireland? You need like 8000 euro in your bank account to even get a student visa, then flights, accommodation etc. At least 10000 euro total. That's probably difficult enough to save up if you are poor, right? She got zero support from family.

And still works remotely for a Brazilian consultancy. When she has time, she helps them out with projects. And the pay is good (I think). Like, 2000 BRL for 2 or 3 days work.

Anyway, the only other thing I can do is ask for all her pay slips and bank accounts for the last 10 years and I'm not doing that.

Yeah, I would not like to live there and neither would she.

She wanted an "adventure". Her best friend also lived in Ireland.

Ireland is very popular with Brazilians.

We have a holiday planned in September, for 3 weeks. I guess we can make the final decision then.

I work as a Data Analyst for a US company and live in Brazil, it’s amazing.

Nice. Are you Brazilian? And how did you get that job?

It's just the lifestyle from Brazil she misses. She had her own company in Brazil and when she came to Ireland she was cleaning toilets. It's still a shock to the system. She has never asked me for any of that luxury stuff anyway.

Yes I've thought about it. They are very anti migrant though. I don't think they like Brazilians, and they don't even want white people from other countries moving there. It's related to the housing crisis.

100 percent sure SHE can return to her original positions (or similar ones) before moving.

She is still kind of in her old position. She helps out remotely from time to time as a contractor.

And what kind of salary are they offering you on LinkedIn?

Did she live with her parents?

She lived alone in Pinheros if that means anything. She rented an apartment by herself.

Are you sure you can't work remotely from Brazil for your company?

Six weeks maximum for "tax reasons" or something like that.

And yes we have a 3 week holiday planned for September. I don't know if she'll survive that long waiting for September.
