Firstly, you need to check the visa situation with regard to the passport you hold and whether you would be allowed to live and work in Brazil or Argentina.
You don't say what profession you are looking for. Most importantly, unless you can earn dollars, you will be looking at very low salaries here, which are really not sufficient to live on. Most people that come to Argentina are generally retired and live of their pensions. Alternatively, others invest in properties and live of the income. It doesn't sound that you fit into either category. Setting up a business in South America is really not easy, especially without a language. Many people also earn money through the internet, so that could be something to do, but it's not a regular income.
You need to come to South America and to see for yourself whether this culture would be for you. I have spent the last 26 years with South American people in London, so for me, it was not such a big difference.
I don't want to be negative, but it is important to think about everything. The cost of living is really low here, but only for people earning in dollars. For people earning local salaries, it is very expensive.
I hope this helps a little and please feel free to e-mail with any more questions.
