You can have the same with that income in the USA assuming you don't live in Seattle or SF. You can live in Indiana or Texas. Brazil doesn't exactly have a great reputation.
i can tell you that if you have a high enough salary, living in a big city like São Paulo can be as good (if not better) than living in a median US city like Seattle/SF -- specially given conversion rates of USDBRL and housing prices.
If you come from a decent Latam metropolis like Buenos Aires or Santiago and make use of the urban facilities (ie you like going out, being close to universities and airports and various activities), anything beyond top-tier US cities is a real step down in quality of life.
dfw has world class restaurants and one of the best airports. and a highly diverse housing stock. you can get a new house at 400k or you can live in a mansion or high rise condo or anywhere in between. recreation is the major downside and the heat but that’s what the airports are for. world class private and public schools, major universities, etc
you can also get a mortgage. good luck in buenos aires!
But driving and having to take flights for entertainment are precisely what people hate about American urbanism and one of the bigger reasons why people move back.
Neither does Texas
Louisiana is more fun
My wife's family is from Louisiana. I love visiting, the people are very warm and the food is great. But after 3 days I want to go back to Atlanta. Louisiana is a terrible place to live, unfortunately.
I find it not so bad compared to other places - Portland for example.
