Cheaper here.
Electricity
Gas
Water
Rent
Hotels
Most food
Secondhand cars, new are pretty close
Car running costs, obviously depending on what car, like anywhere
Drivers license
Passports
Many white goods and electronics
Lots of other stuff.
All this in either thread is largely unimportant as no amount of money or 'stuff' will bring you true happiness and that is what we are finding so wherever you are, whatever you earn if you are truly happy then you are rich.
