        It costs me $120 for internet after discount for 2 gig Xfinity, and the upload isn’t symmetric. America is a ripoff.

        Are those converted to USD?
        How much do you make in salary after taxes?

        Because as far as I read everywhere about US and salaries, it’s not that unusual for regular skilled jobs to achieve 6-figure yearly salaries.

          This is a… very messy and complicated area to talk about and there are plenty of stats and data setsyou can cherry pick to make things sound better than they are. Consider things like median vs average, whether or not you excluded retired folks, etc.

          This graphic is a decent toe in the water:

          I really am hoping to leave the US in the next year or so, unfortunately Japan wasn’t on my list but…maybe for that…
