Hey, I'm also from Brazil.
I understand you totally. Brazil is a diverse country and our situations were far different.
In my case I was already working remotely for a US company, and living in a small city. My salary was 50% smaller than now, but the jet salary was actually higher due to cost of living and taxes. Life was relaxed. I lived in a small town so not a lot of crime worries. I routinely forgot my kindle outside and it was fine. I only locked up when going to bed.
