What is the cost of living in Rio De Janeiro?

Hi

I am thinking of moving to Rio De Janeiro and I was wanting to know the expected monthly cost for the following:

1. furnished 3 bed townhouse
2. car purchase cost and insurance
3. expected electricity/water
4. expected petrol
5. expected internet and cable tv
6. food shopping per average person

I am trying to decide what monthly costs I could expect.

Thank you in advance.

Hey there,

I am a single and I live in Rio by my own, in this city you are probably going to live in some apartment.

1. furnished flat 3 bed in South Rio US$ 1000,00 a month at least.

2. My gf owns a US$ 40.000 car and she pays US$ 1.200.00 a year for the insurance

3. I pay US$ 60,00 per month for electricity, water is included on you condo bill.

4. that will be US$ 4,00 a gallon

5. I pay cable tv US$ 90,00 internet i pay US$ 60,00

6. food I expend about US$ 200,00 on the supermarket

Rio aint cheap compared to other cities in South America, but as you are from the UK i suppose, that will be super cheap.

cheers

I have never seen townhouses in Brazil, if they have them it's not usual. It's either houses or apartments. In Rio you must specify if it is Rio de Janeiro state or Rio de Janeiro city (state capital). If you mean Rio de Janeiro the city, you will find mostly apartments. Cost of life is usually cheaper over there, except gas. Food shopping is very relative, depends if you eat lobster and caviar or hamburgers or hot dogs, it's like this everywhere. You should visit over there and find out by yourself. Something you should worry about is crime rates, which are very high in Rio. Good luck.

Where do you find a 3 bedroom flat for R$1000? South Rio? Are you way out in Barra? Tourist areas like Copacabana or Ipanema will be a little expensive. I imagine outside in upper class neighborhoods would be much cheaper.
