How much does it cost to live in Brazil alone?
To live in Brasilia on a moderate budget, you'll need around $885/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($471), weekday lunches out ($180), weekend casual meals ($57), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($92), a monthly transit pass ($46), and a few taxi rides ($40). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
