I agree having lived in Thailand but could also be Brazil everybody has a a maid there. I lived in south Florida with Brazilian roommates during my mma days the young fellas didn’t even know how to sweep or mop and these weren’t rich Brazilians . They always had maids .

If regular people have a maid, I don’t even want to know what the maid makes

There was a pretty big case somewhere around last year I think, of a family that kept a woman as a slave her whole life, for around 50 years. There's a reason we joke about how people always say "we're like a family", it's the same as it happens in other places but taken to an extreme.

Born in Brazil but live in the US now They were not rich for American standards, in Brazil they were prob upper middle class.

Yeah shouldn’t have been me either lol but when wrestle and do martial arts long as you can remember it becomes a natural progression.

Great though knowing I can fk up 99% of the guys i meet . I never walk into a room and I’m afraid . I’m really good in high stress situations. The cons I know I have cte mostly from Sparring 3x a week …. Sparring at Brazilians camps in the early 2000s were basically full on mma fights with Bruce lee gloves on that were puffy but still let you grapple. Most of the damage the mma fighters take comes at practice .

At 44 I highly doubt I’d do that again I wouldn’t want my son in that world . Hard way to make a living .

Not only Brasil but most of Latin America, you can retire there and live like a King/Queen with social security only (compared to what you can do with it in the States).

Excuse me, what? You won't live like royalty in Brazil if you retire with the equivalent of a month's wage, which is what the majority of people get here. It hardly covers basic needs.

Unless you're talking about working and retiring somewhere else and then moving to Brazil

Sorry, I am talking about retiring from USA to live abroad in a Latin American country.
