lfbb, compared to the "rich northern countries" in the west and in the east, Brasil is still very cheap. Please compare levels of prices, taxes and cost of living. Especially northern Asia (Japan and Korea) is extremly expensive, you cannot imagine how expensive it is. If you want to keep your life style (i.e. eating and living the way you used to at home) increases the cost exponentially (i.e. if you are eating and living like a local you save a lot).
I suggest, before making any move or even before sending any application, go spend you next holiday in one of your countries of your choice. Try to get in touch with expats from your home country before and visit them. Do some serious research.
After that, if you still are convinced, do the right move.
