So if I have money in savings and mutual funds and I go take a job in my field in Brazil for 3 exciting, unforgettable years while not spending more than I make. I become bilingual in a sister language to Spanish. And when I come back all my money has just grown. I will be broke? I will be wealthier financially, experientially, and in terms of my resume. PLEASE stfu.

But that's not going to happen. You will only be making 30,000 dollars a year, no matter how you try to spin it, There are assistant managers at McDonalds who make that much.
You just want to go to Brazil, and can't see the stupidity of doing so.

Am I tripping balls or do you not realize that the city's median income is half of what ours are. Shit is cheaper down there. I dont understand how you are really not getting this.
Ok, shit, I forgot I didnt say the housing is paid for with utilities, cable, and internet. I was like why are you sweating the 30k a year!?!? That makes more sense. It's a condominium the company is renting for 3 years. So that's 12K a year value right there.

Ill say it depends what type of person you are. In reading your comments the learning a new language and seeing a different country and culture seem to appeal to you. In that case I don't think the long range financial gain or loss is a deciding factor. You can't put a price on the things "you " deem important or enriching. Personally I wouldn't do it for 100k/yr. but I'm not you and none of the "experience" part appeals to me. I have enough trouble with English and i dont really like people that much. Or Maybe it's an age thing. I may have missed your age but im guessing you are younger. If you go I would take some precautions and even in my 3rd yr there wouldn't act like a local. I'd be cautious. But sounds like you'll enjoy it. If you're in you're 20s you got a lot of time to make up for 3 yrs of holding steady financially, I wouldn't sweat the money part
