How long are you abroad? I don't regret my descission for one moment. Of course, as described in my post, social security in The Netherlands is much higher. But I am learning that becoming completely independent will give you so much strenght and mental force that it is totally worth it.

Who wants to be dependent of a corrupt govenment anyway? Here in Brazil it is not perfect of course, many social problems and very corrupt government. But it is much easier to live way more 'under the radar'.
