In the US the living cost is insane. Ask yourself, are you willing to pay they insane rent required to live in a nice area?

Consider moving to china.

LOL!!! Yeah nothing like those nice areas in China with their pollution, undrinkable water, insane traffic, and other sanitary issues.

I think the condition you described is worse in Pakistan and India.

Living conditions around the world are very bad. People living in the US have a very high standard of living compared to the rest of the world however the cost of living is also much higher.

You would think so but that's often not the case. . To live an "American lifestyle" is cheaper in America than it is abroad. One can hypothetically buy a McMansion in Neveda or Texas for under $500K but this same property would go for millions in any other country. Much like contemporary condominiums is cheaper in America than it is in developing countries where such modern housing is in short supply and often is marketed to expats.

Cost of living is developing countries is only 'cheaper' if you're fine with bungalows that aren't serviced by utilities. There are some exceptions like Thailand which seems to have a lot of first world styled amenities for cheap but Thailand is a big exception.

How much is McMansion cost in Thailand?
