Things are cheap in America? Check again
What I am saying is, to say "Things are cheaper in the US then elsewhere" is a terribly bold statement. Things to factor is that fact that our economy and wages as a whole are MUCH lower in the US then elsewhere. Our Unemployment is stupidly high and the cost of living in say AUS is as the OP showed 40-60% higher than us, but their wages are more than TWICE what ours is. Also factor in, we get DESTROYED on healthcare. If your company offers it good luck paying less than 800/month, it's 1400 through the government, and we have income tax and 7 other taxes out of our paychecks. I didn't even pay healthcare and I lost 41% from taxes...
EDIT: apparently the AUS min wage for 21+ is 16.88 which is over 18 USD, which mean's its not 2.5 times ours yet their average cost of living is only about 1.5 times ours. And we get taxed just as bad or worse. GG I am gonna move to AUS, let crime there as a whole too!
