It took me traveling the world to realize that America isn’t the best 🙄

The goal is to live, not just survive! If I make less money but I can afford to get sick or buy food and have fun occasionally, then I'd already be doing better than here.

50% of paychecks are taxes so you only have 50% of your wages to actually make a life with and that's just not happening.... we're pretty much hitting the bottom of the barrel

A tree felt over my car a year ago, and my husband had a car accident a few months before. No insurances wanted us, we pay $750 monthly on car insurance.

While the U.S. has some of the wealthiest individuals in the world, the extreme income inequality distorts the true picture of living standards. The top 1% skew the average income, but for most Americans—especially in the bottom 90%—life can be harder than in many European countries. With higher costs for healthcare, education, and fewer social safety nets, many Americans face more financial strain compared to Europeans who benefit from stronger public services and lower living costs. The U.S. may appear 'richer' on paper, but the average American’s quality of life is often worse than their European counterparts

I love how they think higher salaries are the only thing that matters. Not being able to be fired with no notice or reason. Not having to have a car payment and insurance, because it is literally the only way to get around... Not the housing costs, the healthcare costs, the education costs... Like we can keep going.

When you don’t have to worry about health care costs, the rest of your life sorts itself out.

I left the US for Spain. While I'm looking for work/applying for nationality, we need private insurance. It cost us $1,300 for the entire year for both of us with no copays for anything. Our monthly transportation costs have dropped by $770. We are spending half on groceries and buying fresh foods we never would have considered buying in the US. One medication that I'm on cost $600 per month in the US. I used to drive from Phoenix to Mexico to illegally buy and import my medication. In Spain, the same drug, name brand, is 1/10 the cost. My parter was recommended a medication that we never got because it cost $6,900 for a three month supply in the US. A three month supply here is €315.

From what I see, the avarage american, do quite well abroad, sometimes even better than avarage. So it's not that bad of an idea for an american to emigrate But one's experience is not everyone's experience

I did a little research. The average income in the US is $50,000–80,000, and in Germany it is $40,000–50,000. After deducting all fixed costs (taxes, duties, rent, transportation, etc.), approximately 40–50% remains in both countries for consumption (savings, insurances, shopping, etc.) – so roughly the same. Now here's the kicker: in Germany, health insurance (as well as pension, nursing care, and unemployment insurance) is mandatory, so in the above example, these are counted as fixed costs in Germany, whereas in the US, they are counted as consumption. A decent health insurance in the US for a family of four easily costs $25,000 per year (and there are still copays and deductibles). So if an American wanted to insure themselves and their family as well as in Germany, they would have about $5,000 left at the end of the year. In Germany, it would be about $14,000. So in the US, if you have a middle-class income, you basically have the choice between food or (good) health insurance. Maybe that’s what they call freedom over there. 😂 (I know that many US employers voluntarily cover a large portion of health insurance costs. But look: in Germany, employers also pay 50%. Mandatorily. By law. Even for minimum wage earners, part-time or marginal employees. Again: everyone here is always fully insured.) Other countries have different models, but it always boils down to the same thing: US citizens pay much more for significantly less service. 🤷‍♂
