I think many Americans that haven't travelled would be quite surprised at the standards of living available in some other countries.

Sorry if this sounds anti American (it's really not, I love you guys on the whole!) but I do think Americans sometimes struggle to realize what they've got. Not so much the poorer Americans, but the middle classes. I don't say things aren't tougher than they were two years ago. But for most Americans, things aren't tough, and two years ago was really an illusion brought about by spending too much of the next ten year's income. Anyway, glad to see you're still on your feet after getting laid off a few months back. All the best! Wise words.

And I would still prefer to live in the US then anywhere else. Even if the dollar sinks and inflation and unemployment continue up for several years. Agree.
