Honestly I'm confused; These are very crucial, these are basic, and if they are out of reach for an average worker, does the higher purchasing power (assuming it's actually higher in US) even matter that much without them?
- alistairSH 4y agoMedical expenses was (is?) the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the US. Housing is a mixed bag. Some areas are cheap. Some are extremely expensive (all the big west coast cities included). You can find a balance in some second or third tier cities. Education is a racket. This is a relatively new problem. Costs outpace inflation and wage growth by a massive margin. If I was in my twenties, and looking to start a family, I’d seriously consider renewing my UK passport or getting and IE passport (via parents) and moving to Europe.
