Mind on My Money

I have devised a somewhat inclusive list of all the costs I foresee incurring in the near future. Keep in mind this list does not include costs of plane tickets, rent, etc.... This list is just for those odds and ends that need to be bought, but can add up quickly! This post will be ongoing and updated as more money is drained from my bank account....

Costs of relocating to Brazil (although I'm still holding out hope for England!):

• Permanent Visa: $360 (Plus applicable document fees - will update final cost during April)
• Renewal of two Brazilian Passports: $60
• Things on my "must have" list:
  
• (6 months to 1 year supply of toiletries)
  
• Women's Razor blades: $50
• Men's Razor blades: $60
• Contacts: $100
• Contact Solution: $30
• Make-up: $75
• Tampons (Apparently, these are a luxury item in Brazil!): $25
• Face wash (See post below.): $20
• Shampoo and Conditioner (The Brazilian versions are watered down...): $30
• Small Appliances that are EXPENSIVE in Brazil
• Small Espresso machine: $50
• Toaster: $20
