The danger is there but it wasn't as bad as Medellin where it seems grigos are being hunted or watched.
BTW, Clinca is not a term used in Rio. It is only used in Sau Paulo for places similar to casa.

Also unlike my Mexico antics: RDJ starts early like 10-11 am and be back early too, out too late the pick pockets and worse start filling the street tourists urged be out of there ahead of time.

Posts: 600SP or Rio
Flying into GRU next week for 7 days.
Kind of a revenge second chance at my botched 4 days in Rio last December.
While I attempt to uncover reports of distinction:
Confirming does SP have similar or better setups to RDJ's Clubs like 4 x4 and Perola Negra etc, spas like Eden Spa, unmarked residential high rise like 13 de Maio or guided tours of VM?
If really wanting second chance would I just be better off when arrive at GRU just hop on sleeper bus to RDJ for the entire week skip SP completely?
Context: sometimes my schedule and life gets hectic it's very hard to sit down and scroll thru several swaths of pages on ISG but will try my damnest to speed read Brazil threads starting right nzzzz ZzZ zZz ZzZ

Posts: 2676Well, I am a lawyer, and swiss banker, among other things. Debt management including to be-atches and school (just stop paying and when the school sends and insurance company to collect, sue the insurance company for harassment in state court, which will cause them to decide, this is not the droid the stormtroopers are looking for) is one of the keys to long term financial happiness.
PM vagabundo, my colleagues and I are glad to get on a chat with folks who might need help, haha.

Posts: 3290Aim higher
Bearsi, I personally won't even consider someone still carry a student loan at your age. I don't know anyone after working a few years still owe student loan. If the student qualification is good, he or she can easily have a choice of the school he or she wants to go to with at least 50% scholarship. It the student does not choose to study a degree that can make money to pay off the loan, that decision making is questionable.
The female lawyer in my post. She went to a private college that gave her scholarship. While studying at school, she was making 6 K+ a month during summer internship. She won't own too much if she owed anything at all. Her brother is the same, but he chose to study a useless major. Then he saw his girlfriend and other people who studying computer science getting good job offers so he decided to take out a student loan to get a master degree in CS. He got a job offer one year before graduation. He did so because he knew he can pay off the loan easily by then. The irony is that he initially entered a prestige university to study CS to begin with but he switched major. I was also debt free when I graduated.
I know my regular family and friend circle is not the norm but you certainly can aim higher to avoid some financial issues

There's just one catch to discharging federal student loan debt. The IRS may treat the cancelled debt may as income, leading to a tax liability. The federal government may send a 1099-see to the borrower's estate or to the borrower of a Federal Parent PLUS loan. The tax liability is less than the cancelled debt, but it may still be a non-trivial sum.
There is no law requiring lenders to cancel private student loans upon the death of the borrower.
Half of private student loan programs do not offer death discharges. If the borrower dies, the lender will charge the debt against the borrower's estate. The cosigner may become responsible for repaying the remaining debt after the estate is settled.
If you die, your widowed spouse could be left responsible for paying off your student debt, depending on your state of legal residence and whether you borrowed the education loan after you got married.
In the nine community property states – Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin – a surviving spouse may be held liable for repaying a private student loan following the death of a deceased spouse, even if they didn't cosign the loans, but only if they took out the loan after they were married.

My dad is 73 years old. He said that he loves his kids, but if he had experienced all the places we have traveled to monger in beforehand, then he would have never gotten married. Now a Murphy for the checkmate!
