Default Re: is living in the USA overrated

You worry about expenses but they are still small in comparison to a lot of the developed world. ONe thing that did suprise me is my buddy just moved to Korea, he said the tax rate is 3%. I was shocked. But he said things such as Cars (imported), Housing, etc. were extremely expensive. Not really shocked there since he lived in a big city but import tax on foreign cars was something extremely excessive in Korea (he lives in Seoul). But other things such as food were extremely cheap in Korea and there was never a tip required.

You whine about gas prices, the thing is they are MUCH cheaper than in Europe.

It's all relative. You know the details of all our problems, well those countries have their problems as well. Some of the Scan. countries have insane tax rates.

There is no perfect island coutnry. There are always problems with every country. If you don't like the US, you of course don't have to live here. You can always move.

Personally I like the US. I don't know how I could live without certain things in the US. I need my sports, I need my TV, I like the language, I like the US.
