In my ol' hood, most things are more expensive or at best, the same.
... Electric & petrol, about the same, though I don't use either here any more
... Solar & EVs, much more expensive there
... Rents, much more there
... RE Taxes, non existent here, outrageous in Philly, USA
... Healthcare, ridiculously expensive there. Just had a procedure done, cost $5500 here w/meds. Philly, USA ... 'Philadelphia, PA Cost Average, $26,600 - $73,200/Philadelphia costs $43,202 on average'
... anything involving labor, much cheaper here
... food, tough call, most cheaper here, as is eating out, but the experience is completely different. Cheaper, but wouldn't call it 'fine dining', which is also expensive here.
What it cost for RE Taxes & Healthcare alone in the USA, monthly, I can live on here, and quite comfy at that. Really is no comparison.
