Unemployment percentage is matched. South Korea has many industries.

Income adjusted to expenses, I'm sure there are countries that pay better. But US is right up there

the stats that ****inator posts are very flawed as well

not trying to act as an intellectual over you or him, but I have learned that economics is a very fake science as you can fudge numbers on a macro level to fit a narrative

Ireland's GDP per Capita is 2x that of the UK but that difference can be fully accounted for so many companies choosing Dublin as Euro HQ for the low corporate tax (which increase GDP as GDP consists of total transactions but that means dick when it comes to real true wealth of a person in Ireland).

there are many things to consider on top of that - tax and what you get for paying that tax and its quality, real estate affordability and purchasing power parity ---> all of these significantly affect disposable income

don't forget qualitative factors as well - rich Asian nations for example have very clean cities (something there is no index of)

on the other hand, S Korea is a huge outlier in suicide that might speak about invisible structural factors that affect society

Of course there's more than just economic factors.

If you could pull this off AND feel at home and happy in your chosen cheap country then this could be good.


Near me now you need to make nearly $60K a year to be able to rent a basic apartment [$1600 a month]. If you were making $50K and could find an apartment you could qualify to rent [under $1400 a month] you would be out over $16K on rent + around $3,600 on utilities = $20,268 for a place to stay with electric, internet, etc. Many complexes now do charge tenants a fee for water and trash.

Under $30K left.

Just did a search and most recent average employee contribution for health insurance says $3,300. 26,432

Average car payment is nearing $600 a month, average full coverage car insurance for TX over $1,600 a year. Average miles per year around 15K and average mpg @ 25 = 600 gallons of gas w/an average US gas price today at $4 = $2,400 on gasoline. Add a couple of oil changes and state tags = $500 roughly.

^^^
New car w/payment could be as much as $11,700 per year. Or a payment on a cheaper/used vehicle still with full coverage [because loan] around $8K a year. Or a paid off car also w/less insurance coverage a little under $4K.

But you will need to pay for health insurance as a separate expense outside of taxes + any deductibles/copay and in most parts of the US you will have to have some sort of personal vehicle because public transportation is barely a thing and most areas are not suited to walking/riding a bike.

Depending on the most expensive to least you would be down to $15K - $22K after housing, health insurance, and transportation.

Except the tax man always gets his.



So you are really at $7K to $14K after you pay Uncle Sugar.

Wanna eat food and wear clothes? Keep your place and yourself clean?

For food you might get by on $400 a month if you always eat at home. Guesstimate $100 a month for other household stuff like TP, laundry soap, shampoo. $6,000 a year.

Now we are left with $1,000 to $4,500 or so.

And you didn't put anything into savings or investments yet. Or have any sort of social life. Also this is in TX with no state income tax and I didn't put in anything for sales tax.

This is why miscers feel like $100K is poverty now.

- you can get a roommate, but should you HAVE TO have a roommate as a person over age 25?

- a bus pass isn't going to do much for you here, limited routes and schedules; also a monthly pass for DFW:




Countries that are better for poor people = countries with universal health care, better/cheaper public transport and just a better social safety net in general.

Agree. We aren't considered a high tax/high cost of living state, or at least we haven't been such in the past.

I know there was a recent thread about CA passing a law to pay fast food workers $22 an hour. That is about $45K a year working full time and AFAIK CA has higher housing and transportation costs than TX plus a state income tax.

Lived in Houston before coming to Seattle and can confirm, the prices are much higher here for everything
