- ghaff 6y agoReally? Tokyo isn't super-expensive for an American compared to NYC or SF but it isn't especially cheap in my experience. The same could be said of at least most of Europe. There are cheap countries where maybe 10x is a reasonable figure for living like a local in a developing country vs. living like most Americans in the US. Median household income in Japan is about 30K USD, which is lower than the US but a lot more than $12K.
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoIf two people with $12K salary make a household, that's $24K household income.
- ghaff 6y agoDo you actually think that’s the norm in Japan, especially for animators making $12K per year? In any case, the exact same logic applies to the US where there are more two household incomes. The claim that the US has 10X higher costs than other countries in the developed world is simply nonsense.
