I have opened the tool you shared, and I am trying to compare cities in my country with cities in my country. I think this is a good and sophisticated tool and can benefit everyone. someone can use this tool if they want to go somewhere and they can calculate their needs to be occupied. I tried to compare the cost of living between my city and one of the cities in the country of Malaysia with this tool. and the results are amazing, the details are explained in this tool in accordance with the indicators that you say such as the cost of living index, cost of living plus index, index of foodstuffs, local purchasing power and others. in my opinion this tool is very useful, and this tool is needed by people.

The cost of living in my country is actually cheaper compared to other countries yet it's still hard for a local citizen in my country to survive for everyday living. Others might find it cheap but an average person here finds it difficult to manage daily expenses. According to the data, an inexpensive meal here costs around 4$ while in the US it's 20$ which is very cheap when you compare yet some can't even afford to eat 3x a day.

Every country people have such scenario, USA is not an exception. Same as other countries USA too has got people who can't afford three time meals. From outside it looks like so luxurious, but in reality USA too lacks. But, they try to hide it to the world. This might damage their value as the world's power. There are people in USA who live their entire life on vehicles just because they aren't able to afford the house rentals.

Comparing cost of lives blindly isn't correct, you have to consider a lot, really a lot of things. How easily can person from other country start job there, how are other people accepted there, what's common and average salary there and etc. For example average salary in one country is 150£ while in UK it's £2000, then 300% difference between cost of lives according to calculator that OP used, gives us absolutely useless information. Without doubt UK is a great choice.

the cost of living of each person is certainly different, we cannot compare it with others. and of course the cost of living in each region is different. because every city has different political and economic policies. so I don't think we need to compare our living costs with other people's living costs. what is important is that we can meet the cost of our lives and live happily I think that's enough.

I don't agree with you too, we have to compare. If there are issues with us, we need to fix it for our better future. Imagine yourself in 16th century as an imperator, you would may be one of the most happiest person as an imperator but also remember current situation: Imperator where you have no electricity, pc, smartphone and etc or current one with this opportunities? They don't had request on such things, haven't seen such thing and were happy with that way but now when you saw better things, you won't feel happy without them while they would because haven't seen.

If you consider the cost of living, you'd be more happier if you can renovate your house into self sufficient instead like setting up your solar panel or turbines for your electricity and water pump probably. With that I guess the cost of living will be lesser.

Safety is another issue when you with you seek for comparison. Living in a place where you hate doesn't matter if safety for the kids are there.

I agree. You don't have to raise your level of living just because you think you can, even Mark Zuckerberg told us to live a humble life with a huge amount of money in our bank account or portfolio, though it is your choice where to spend your money since you earn it. The important twist here is that you could spend it on something that will boost or help other people who desperately need it.

Like donating it on charities, feeding the homeless as such, even it is not everyday. Those expensive bags manufacturer doesn't need money anymore, the homeless need it the most.

I check my city to one of the top city in the world which is Tokyo Japan and Tokyo's purchasing power is 236.78% higher than my city, this is a great tool for those who are going to move from one city to another, so they can compare the cost of living there also a good tool for overseas worker, because they will be shocked on the comparison because every city has their own cost of living.

If you are planning to live somewhere while using crypto alone, i'd suggest to live at either Japan or America. Yes, the cost of living maybe a bit high, but at least you get easy access to crypto exchanges or payment gateways.

USA? I don't think so, I'd go for Japan if there is no problem on me earning cryptocurrency, then I will go to Japan and live there using cryptocurrency on the daily basis.

If you want to live a nice comfortable life tho i'd suggest the Philippines, sunny tropical beaches, cheap food, cheap labor, and everyone knows how to speak english.

This is hilarious, how can you live in a country which the Government (most of the senators), other Government authorities, and justice system are so fucked up. The gap between the rich and poor is insane, there is no social status equality, when you are rich and you are the suspect, you could flip the situation and the poor innocent people will be the one who will go behind the bars, how nice is that? lol.

You might want to cancel out Philippines in your suggestion list.

Exactly, besides that Philippines is one of the country who accepts Bitcoin and little by little they are adopting it's concept, we even have 2 Bitcoin ATMs here and you can buy Bitcoin Nationwide as we do have here convenience store where you can it.

Anyway, Japan is a good place too for crypto they are also in favor with it and they are aware of it, and it's a beautiful county safe and secure as well.

The standard of living is one question. But it is worth talking about the quality of life. How much medical services are available in the city, social guarantees when applying for a job, the presence of parks and bicycle areas. There are a lot of criteria, and this is more important than the cost of living.

We are already aware about the quality of life that is not fair and it varies depending on the location, so, the question is how are we going to make solution for this, are we just gonna complain to the government for the expensive price of goods, commodities, oil etc. or are we gonna do something to compensate this like trading, having some sort of extra income and not just relying on your fix income, it's on us how we are going to live with our current life, we should be able to manage our fund wisely.

We cannot just decide where to live , we have college , jobs , family , we need VISA ! , Passport, everything!
You seriously think one can just shift that easily ?
It is really hard to imagine but we should understand that the higher are the living expenses , higher you get paid there .
It's not just the living expenses it's everything all in one.

True story where making up changes or completely make a shift into things isnt really that easy to be done yet there
would be lots of arrangements that should be fixed first and we know that we do have different priorities in life where in
result for us on hardly making up things as we like.This is the reality where people do either live to 1st or 3rd world
and i agree that the higher the standards the higher the expense would it be.

id rather lived on a low standard life so that i cant pay higher expenses because to me money is not really that important but what important the most for me is how i can live peacefully. i dont like crowded or civilized areas and i dont wanna work tediously just to pay those outrageous expenses . good thing that im from a country that have the traits i like but others are not contented and they do everything just to move on other country

Its a matter of preference though because even if you do live on a high standard country and you do also earn premium then even the expenses
are too big then it would always matter on how you do manage your money.If you are bad on it then expect for an overdropped budget.
The most important thing is you do know on how to utilize things for you do have a better living no matter which country you do live on.

Cost of living is hard to compare. It varies per country. There are countries where you can earn xx amount per month but not enough to sustain your daily needs. Imagine how people in a third world country lives. It’s like they are working to pay their debts, neverending debts.

LOL.. I am living in a third world country, and not everyone here are working to pay off their debt. Obviously a lot of people have taken loans from various banks and other financial institutions, but I don't think that the proportion of such people is greater than what they have in the developing nations such as the United States and the European Union.

One thing that you are ignoring is the fact that the living expenses are low here, when compared to the first world. For example, the public transport costs $0.15 to $0.20 for 5km. A meal from a good restaurant costs less than $5. The tuition fee for various graduate courses rarely exceed $3,000 per year (the median is around $1,000). There is a lot of inequality as far as wealth is concerned, just like any other region in the world.

That's why you should not compare the cost of living but purchasing power, like it's done in the bigmac index. You can live in a country where people earn $10 a day and still live in much better conditions than someone who earns $50.

I often compare myself to some of my friends who live in the city and they can't save up anything because their expenses are much higher. I have a well and don't have to pay for water at all. I'm connected to the town's water supply but I only use that water for cooking because it's cleaner. I don't pay rent, only tax for the land my house was built on. I have much more space and cleaner air than the city guys and it costs me much less.

I understand that because when the country has a bad economy, people on that country also suffers.
Actually its alright if the salary is not that big but the government has to control the prices of the basic needs, if there is a corruption because politicians are controlled by the big businessman, that's when people really suffers, and this results to some people wants to get out of the country to work abroad.

In other places, you can sustain your needs from natural resources like cows, crops, and etc. This helps them keep up with the high cost of living. However, people in these type of area oftenly can’t get their wants.

Most of the people wants to live a life that they will enjoy the most, though you are living in a remote areas where your lifestyle is different, but there's still some dissatisfaction from people that they will look to feed their wants, I think they just need to be discipline, they have to bear with their countries status and just live a simple life.

besides of living places,it depend on their life style too.each person have their own life style that correlated with how much money will spended everyday.in metropolis ofcourse daily spending bigger than in village.there are many recreation and entertainment place that usually visited when they have holiday.comparing our life each other make us less gratefull as if we dont anything we want.meanwhile outside there many people still in poverty.
