I want everyone who complains about how "expensive" it is to live in Vermont to come and spend a day up here in Canada. Only then will they see what insane costs of living are

Yeua but when you don't have to worry about health care everything is different

Don't have to worry about healthcare? You mean waiting months to see a doctor? You mean waiting months upon months upon years just to get a surgery?

Hmm let's weigh months to see a doctor vs going 15 years without seeing one. Or months or a year for a surgery, that's going to be free, vs choosing to not have the surgery (or not even know that you need the surgery because you can't go to a doctor to figure it out) and then going bankrupt if you do chose to get the surgery. There's still a clear winner there. The cost of surgery here can cost several years salary. What about all the other bills and food costs you're expected pay? It's no contest

Lul- America is more expensive by a long shot. Are you converting CAD to USD? My gf pays $600 USD for a one bedroom in Montreal compared to my $1650. That’s $2100 CAD.

Depends where you are in America. Renting may be more expensive but buying property isn't.

And that 600 USD a month sounds like bs because I live in Montreal and there are no apartments that cheap here.
