Exactly! Jul 11, 2020

The first half of the year was very bad. I did get a few jobs, but nowhere near what I need to pay the bills. Brazil has been in a very bad crisis for at least five years and Covid has made things worse.
Even in the crisis, everything is so expensive here and prices are soaring, especially housing.

We can all recite your posts by heart now, you do not need to post the exact same thing twice in the same bloody thread.


In addition, Paul keeps passing this wrong impression that Brazil is in such a bad situtation all the time, which is quite untrue. I have statements of several colleagues in Brazil, in addition to myself, that we've been keeping up just fine, and the COVID crisis has not affected us so much. Paul has been making similar complaints WAY before the COVID crisis. He really needs some professional assistance for netwoking and marketing purposes, because HE has an issue there, not the whole country, whatsoever.

Poor question Jul 11, 2020

The question isn't focused on the right period. The first six months include Jan-Mar, which were just fine and even very lucrative for me. However. Apr-Jun were extremely slow.

July has been great so far.
