Yes, petrol and running fancy cars is expensive in France. But then it's a civilised country with excellent public transport, outstanding hospitals and universal health care, good schools and, well, a cultured population.
If you're healthy or wealthy, the US is great. If you're sick and poor, not so much.
Bring on the wrath.

Well said!
Also, let's just say here I do well with my income and benefits. If I would go to Germany, same job, same compareable income etc. my standard of living would be way less but my "social security" would be way better like mentioned above. Choices...........

Anyone who thinks things are tough here - doesn't have a clue. Everything is more expensive and difficult elsewhere. We are truly blessed. If you are here AND you have a Porsche everything's fine for you.

Not entirely true Steve - there are many, many countries around the world who have comparative "lifestyles" to the US..... and, I suggest, would not swap positions with you.

Yes there are. But. I spend half my time auditioning against Brits, Aussies, Kanuks and other's who obviously feel differently.
