  1. How can north korea be so high? People there earn double digits weekly

  2. We should not be that close to Switzerland in living expenses they make on average probably 1.4 times what we make at least.

  3. As an American living in Ireland I can at least keep telling myself it is better here than in the states. 

  4. Yeah no shit, it’s Saturday night have you anything else?

  5. It would appear i don’t live a modern lifestyle or consume averagely, just as well.

  6. I assume this is the top 40 countries in the world. This disparity between 1 and 40 is huge, especially given there are 197 countries in the world. Would have thought the top would be a lot closer.

  7. When you consider that the salaries are no where near the same as Switzerland or US

  8. That’s super damning. Yeah not number 1 but the coubtreis around us have mitigating circumstances.

    Monaco for instance has serious benefits for its citizens, like highly subsidised housing.

    The US obviously has much higher earning potential in certain areas. And if you’re not about that then they also have areas with super cheap housing and low cost of living.

    Switzerland had massive wages and is just generally nicer.

    The comparable one is singapore. Wages are pretty comparable to here. But they have better healthcare, there’s little to no crime, and it’s clean.

  9. This seems like an extremely dubious graphic. North Korea has a higher cost of living than Italy?

  10. The problem isn’t the cost of living per say, it’s what you GET for what you pay. Ireland is nowhere near Luxembourg, Iceland or Switzerland in terms of quality of life

  11. This seems I accurate with at least 2 countries so imma call bullshit… that said yes Ireland does have a stupid cost of living crisis

  12. How is the US up so high? People from Canada are moving there because Canada is so expensive…

  13. This is why I’m leaving this country and using my EU passport to my full avail.
