When my wife and I retire in Brazil possibly in a couple of years or so, we will both be receiving pensions and social security each month which are currently deposited automatically to our bank accounts in the u.S.
What are the pros and cons of continuing this and then, as we need money in Brazil, having our bank transfer such funds to a bank account is Brazil?
Is there anyone out there currently doing this?
I believe there are some who have checks sent by mail from the U.S. Social Security and/or the U.S. based pension provider to a Brazilian address, however, given that mail delivery in Brazil is inconsistent and unreliable, that option has me concerned.
Thanks for your input.
