Many foreigners wonder what life is like earning minimum wage in Brazil, and what it's like in the USA?
Without doing the conversion!!!! Because the idea is to consider what you can do in Brazil with a minimum wage, and what you can do in the USA with a minimum wage.
First difference: In Brazil, the minimum wage is monthly and is calculated working 8 hours a day, normally 5 days a week. In the USA, the minimum wage is hourly, so it must be multiplied by 8 and then by 30 (multiplying by 8 is how much you earn per day, and by 30 is how much you earn per month).
Second difference: In Brazil, whether a house is sold or rented, it doesn't come furnished; it comes with a sink, bathroom, and shower, and you're always looking for the cheapest houses to rent, both in Brazil and the USA. So it's a minimum wage in the USA versus a minimum wage in Brazil.
Then he simulates renting a cheap house, a cheap car if possible, and food.
