Personal spending habits:
Well, things like food and accommodation are considerably cheaper. But one tends to go out more at night and travel in Brazil so you end up spending quite a bit here, but only because your doing it more.
Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Make sure your bank at your home country doesn't charge you a heavy transaction fee for cash withdrawals from brazilian ATMs. It varies from bank to bank.

Personal comments:
Actually, if you have a more powerful currency, it is a plus. Moreover, you can buy more anyway for the real. Things are already cheaper and then if you have more purchasing-power , even better.
