[the lancaster kicks ass]

so you're not exactily sitting in the middle of nowhere then??

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Not at all, I'm in a very nice area (not rich, middle and a bit above class).

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

middle and a bit above mmmmmmm, interesting..............

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

My dad is also in the process of buying an beach-side apartment in a scenic area in Bahia, Brasil.

Over view of the area ~

The apartment, which is still in construction for delivery August 2005, is to the left of the lighthouse, I believe.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

wow that looks beautiful, must cost a bit though.............

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Yeah, it does.

R$135,000 for a one bedroom suite.

70.2 meters squared, I think.


R$135,000 is the equivalent of US$45,685.279187817258883248730964467, or US$45,685.28

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

US $ doesn't help me.................

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

In pounds, it's 25,555.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

are you sure, because you wont get a house for less than £100,000 these days................

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

I'm absolutely sure, a dollar is roughly R$3 and a pound is roughly US$1.5.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

oh it just seems pretty cheap...................

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

That's what I like to call "a crap economy."

A 2.0 Astra Sport is over R$40k, in a country where minimum wage is R$240 per month...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i've so gotta move to wherever that is..............

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Here's the thing: get rich in the U.K, retire, live in Bahia.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

surely it would be quicker to get rich in Bahia.................

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

No, it wouldnt be.

What makes you think it is?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

because you've just said the average monthly wage is R$240 and the cost of a car is R$40, which means the cost of living's cheap, which makes it easier to get rich...........

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

I said R$40k.

"k" is a term used in the U.S. meaning "1,000."


Also an abbreviation of "kilo," which has the same meaning.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

oh i thought that was part of the way you write the currency................

 

[cheddar cheese]

you fool lanc....

no the idea is to get rich in the UK, then go and live in either Monaco or Turin.
