How is it? Life in United States?

Not too different here. Wages have gone down, and stuff costs a lot. Not really much to do here because no one can afford it... lots of posers though...

I'm in the top 5%, so life here is dandy.

You probably want a less biased perspective though.

Carry on...

Well, the average income is higher and the drinks aren't as expensive...but we're nearly up to $5 for a pack o smokes.

But don't worry...our economy is being destroyed...on purpose.

We get free Obama phones.

Sure.... yea... uhhuh...

It sucks

but living any where in the middle east would be worse


I can honestly say; life is not as good as it was 20 years ago

for numerous reasons. But one:

(I worry if I was to get really sick ; for instance with a form of cancer ; it would send my husband and I into bankruptcy. I will never go to a doc here unless I was in a MVA or some trauma and someone called the ambulance without my permission.

I personally know of someone who was diagnosed with lymphoma last year. The total cost to save their life was a million dollars and some change.
I wife didn't have good insurance; they would be looking at loosing everything.)

This is life in the US

welcome to hell

You can tell things are changing. I've seen a lot of small restaurants & businesses close their doors. Prices are going up on everything. My perspective is from a far watching bad things happen to other, I've been spared so far.

If you're wealthy, it's BIG, FAT 'n FINE (or FAHN)!

If you're not wealthy, well ...

it is hell

It is all about money and making money

this is all people care about or worship here

$$$$$$$$

Terrible the last 5 years.

$750 for 1 bedroom rent in average neighborhood
$130 for electricity
$49.99 for internet
49.99 for tv
Average grocery will $150 lasts about a week or two
Cigs vary in price around $5 per pack
Alcohol (cheap beers for $5)
Soda Pop Coke Pepsi (1.25 for small personal bottle)


Living in the US is probably like anywhere else. Its boring, everyone keeps to themselves, people live very close together but dont know each other, most people sit at home and watch tv... Some people go on vacation for a week or two but thats about the extent of our fun.

We are possibly the most shallow, lonely people on the entire planet. Rich in materialism but 3rd world country poor in life & spirituality (not to be confused with religion).

Most people are literally walking zombies... On a day where the US government and military authorize killings of innocents with drones, most will go out for an ice cream and bitch about someone being "rude" to them.

Its the best place on earth as long as you never awake and start asking your own questions.

I want out but realistically there is no where to go thats better. We are the last country, when we fall, say hello to thousands of years of manipulation and control...

600 to 800$?

Back home in Luxembourg I got like 2000€ a month as a student worker with no actual qualifications.

Yes

agree totally and

people are so focused on $$$$

they worship it

All my inlaws talk about it money and how to make it

how much they have in the bank...ad nauseum


No one seems to care about anything any more but how to have a "massive fortune"...

It has become a sick place


The world is caving in but no one here really cares

all they are focused on is $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Our country is being transformed into a communist country and we're hundreds of trillions in debt. The world has never seen these debt levels before. I expect them to soon be rolling out gun registration and then confiscation. They've got all the pieces in place for martial law, so we can expect that within 12 months. We keep losing good jobs and many must settle for low paying jobs. Sorry to be so bleak but that's the way I see it.

Living here makes me want to leave and go live with the amish


or go to a dimension where Money doesn't exist

6 to 800 $?

im 26 and i make about twice that.

pay for the rest about

rent 300
healthcare 100
electric and stuff 100
mobile 80
other stuff monthly about 200

pack of marlboro is about 6 $

Judging from the Americans I've met most of them are, although essentially likeable and friendly people, overly politically correct, have a make-believe proactive and excessively positive attitude towards everything and feign outrage when you try to argue with them.

End of Empire, my man.

It took Ancient Rome 500 years to collapse, but we got technology they never dreamed of, plus "Idiocracy", the Zionistic "Federal Reserve", and "BRAWNDO!" (It's got them there "ELECTROLYTES").

THat's about right.

I met a few real good 'uns while working in the ME.

It has been tough here. Where I am drinks are pretty cheap but the price for smokes keeps going up. Things can be ok here in the midwest. Certainly not as crowded and full of BS posers. THe coasts are expensive.

my income has not gone up in 7 years, although the cost of living has gone up significantly. so, it's a matter of time and not much of it,before I am where you are.

And Latvia has the advantage of not being ruled by a hostile foreigner.

Your income will never go up again

not here

they want slaves now ; not legitimate workers

The fall of empire has begun

Honestly, go to Luxembourg. The living costs are ridiculous, the life boring, but you'll earn twice as much as a toilet cleaner back there as you currently do.

Midwest U.S.A.

Was earning $15.00 an hour for 40 hrs and took home about $780.00 weekly after reg. Deductions and spent $75.00 driving to and from work weekly. 60 bucks a week food,480.00 rent month, 120.00 smartphone, 120.00 cable tv, 120.00 insurances, 100.00 entertainment weekly.
Now Layed off with $330.00 weekly until I use up 5000.00 in the fund. Then will be $0 dollar income. Cashed in 401k and have stock, cant touch for 2 years.

Only jobs available are around $9 per hour starting and Have applied a 3 or 4 jobs per week with personal contact with 2 employers per orders from state of Iowa to receive benefits. If not able to work or make work searches your unemployment is terminated.

I am 47 years old Male and have worked meat packing industry, Plumbing, Climbed and maintained radio communication towers,
Broadband Cable technician and worked assembly for a very well known manufacturer. I have never been off of work for more than 3 weeks and I am going on 4 months. I will never apply for welfare and rental assistance which is popular for the vast multicultural population in this town of 15,000 people. It's amazing they'll have 100 dollar bills in wallet and use ebt cards and pickup groceries in new escalade. I drive a 1997 monte carlo with 220,000 miles I put new motor and tires in 3 years ago. And bicycle

I currently moved back home to care for my 72 year old mother whom can't walk well and has never driven an automobile. And she receives about $1110.00 a month and pays 121.00 for electric, 120.00 for cable tv, 100.00 insurance, 150.00 taxes, and probably gambles 500 a month at the casinos in the area with her elderly friends .....The new retirement activity, in this decade.
Previously cared for grandfather for 3 years when he had cancer and eventually died and later on helped care for my grandmother when I could and neither spend time in nursing home unless absolutely necessary.

Personally I'd like to live in Florida on SW coast but looks like i'm forever stuck in Midwest.

I have many relatives in Riga...never met them, I sometimes wonder how life is over there.

My parents went after the soviet collapse.

I don't think your missing much.

I have never worked a good job here; There is always a psycho or the system is psycho or both

and I find myself job hunting again.

This is what life is here:

Perpetual job hunting.

Update resume and job hunt

If parents told me this is what my life would be

I would have stayed in the womb

now? this place is turning into a prison.

America is in the lost generation now and it will only get worse with ObamaCare going into effect. Small business was the lifeblood of the country and it is being strangled under regulations that effect the bottom line.

I left three years ago, but I'm going back, as it's worse where I'm at now.
