@elleosiliwood: Back for another round of things that surprised me when I moved from the UK to America - safe to say number 4 was beyond my wildest expectations 🤣As ever, these are all from my experience in California, so things might look different for you if you move to a different state. This time, I tried to answer some of the questions I got on my last post, so definitely comment if you want me to answer anything else in part 3! And please let me know what’s it’s like living everywhere else in the US - I’m so interested 👀 #moving #ukvsusa #movingabroad #americanlife #creatorsearchinsights
This is not my experience living in the US for many of these things.. I think you live in a very nice area

How much PTO do you get? I always find that seems to be the downfall?

Is California different to other states in some respects though since it is very liberal there in comparison? Also, in terms of pay, do you have to pay your own taxes there? So that’s something to consider I guess? There’s no PAYE as such is there? So it feels like a great NET pay but it’s a bit of a mind trick, that’s something that’d catch me out, out of sight out of mind sort of thing? Huge bill would land on my doorstep I’m sure 😂

property tax is essentially council tax when you own a house and is very high in some states like Texas

The driving license thing is state dependent. You don’t have to retake the drivers test in every state.

The dream is to move to America but there are so many hurdles in regards to visas, how much you have in savings, etc

I feel the same way about tax. I'm in San Francisco and I feel like there's a lot of public services, events, amenities, and infrastructure maintenance that feels like I'm getting decent value for money

What does your medical care cover! Are there any extras you pay? How many times can you visit the Dr each year ?

wondering are you earning in euros or dollars? Because wouldn’t you be earning more in euros anyway so it would feel cheaper? Kind of like when we go to somewhere the dollar is stronger and make dollars?
