and why many do not travel, and go in the other side, if the difference is so big? it should not be so difficult for a usa citizen to move between states, and maybe find a new location to live, instead of wasting money in his current residence...
It is easy to say, but for example California alone is likely bigger than your whole country. If I move to a cheaper place, it will be hard to visit family and friends. Plus most companies adjust for cost of living down to the penny, so it isn't like you will really make that much more.
still if you've the money i think you can do it, we are not talking about going abroad, but just in another USA country, there are many around the world that leave their native nation to go abroad to find work, and you're telling me that it is not that possible to do it inside the same state?
i can't believe this, i think they are just lazy people that don't like to deal with any kind of risk
