[@SideWalker562]

Same as America...but like he said at the beginning of the vdo...it's average the whole country, not just the big cities in that country. So, the big country like usa, australia, canada, etc...will not be on the list.

[@bobbiejay2085]

@@SideWalker562 ... most of the population of Australia live on the east coast. Thus making it a much 'smaller' country.

Montreal is cheaper

You are sooo right! You go to the grocery store and spend 100 dollars, you come back with almost nothing!

[@signefurax933]

​@@iluvanimals4evr go to tokyo...i spend 120 euros for a capsule hôtel (2m2) and 60 euros for fresh sashimi...buying à car is also much more expensiv than Toronto.

[@gerafinali4384]

I lived in the UK and France, earned about the same in both countries, but cost of living was way higher in France than the UK.

[@mrb152]

From what I’ve seen it really depends on where you live in either.

Canada is huge, the most expensive places are the northern territiories and the cheapest place is Alberta

[@itzterra9510]

All the people saying Australia should be on the list.. you guys obviously haven’t been over the ditch to NZ. You make double to triple the salaries that people in NZ make and most things are still cheaper in Australia. You are still doing fucken well compared to a lot of other countries.

[@boomertuxx]

Yeah NZ is unaffordable but thsts cos of wages being low in some (not all) areas. NZ has its pros and cons regarding costs of living etc. Depends where you live and what you do for a job. It's a very free market economy so next to no laws regarding small business ownership if you don't have staff. Definitely more for older ppl who managed to buy a house before 2011 but there are still areas that are affordable and will prob remain that way thanks to the climate. But yeah doing things the normal way doesn't work in NZ.

[@uklie01]

Coming near the end of the vid, I thought "hey, did we just lose our reputation for being the most expensive country"? But oh well, here we are again 😅 Greetings from Switzerland 🙋‍♀

[@will..4593]

Austria is so high aswell 4th highest taxes in general, i dont usnderstand why it isnt on here

[@Snowshowslow]

Probably because they have housing costs well in hand? That is the biggest factor for most countries, so if that's reasonably priced that's going to take a big chunk out of the costs.

Something to consider is the standard of living compared to income. Europe you had better have a really good job if you want to own a house! Apartments are mini compared to the USA for the same $$.

[@Snowshowslow]

But then you do get healthcare, affordable universities, holiday and social security that is worthy of the name. Standard of living isn't just housing size.

[@norwegianblue2017]

[@rasse5390]

I think Finland should be here, with a taxing rate that ranges between 23-40% of your income Edit: Typo, it can actually go up to 56% of your income

[@ujmm]

Why? They are not measuring by purchasing power in this video, and even if they did Finland would not end up anywhere near the top 10 in the world or just Europe then either.

[@tiagofilipe6592]

This should be compared with average wage and taxes to know which one is the most expensive for real.

[@ujmm]

Median(not average) net income vs prices adjusted for differences that exist in tax packages(which are very different from country to country) but of course, the list would be dominated by third-world countries then( which is the most expensive compared to net salary/lowest local purchasing power) And if you only focused on Europe the second world countries(Moldova, Albania, etc.) Would dominate.

New Zealand and Australia both are crazy expensive! I have lived in both countries for over a decade, I don't want to anymore! I'll just go back to my own motherland which may not have the best environment, but it has the necessary resources I need to survive. At least I won't have to pay $450 fine for every minor traffic mistake! I'm not gonna be ripped off by paying huge amounts of tax! Neither of the countries have good judiciary and healthcare system. Doctors aren't that professional. You'll have to wait at the emergency for hours only to be invalidated. Even the police are lazy, they treat criminals like friends and gaslight the main victims. There are many news articles on how weak Australian and New Zealand laws are! In Asian countries you personally know people in the judiciary system who can help you to put someone in jail if they harass you. Asian countries have more manpower than other countries, people always know someone who can help. Asian countries may be overpopulated, but you always end up finding someone who is genuine if you ever need help. Australia & NZ is so isolated that during times of need no one is there!

[@stuartbourke2160]

Just curious. Where is your Motherland and why did you leave it in the first place?

[@moshesierra6849]

Dude I lived in NZ for almost 20 years I disagree with u U sound very negative about NZ and Australia (. Also lived there) Both aren’t perfect but what u said is totally nonsense The Police force is very professional Medical expenses ? Did u pay for them ? NOOOO

[@boomertuxx]

Whilst the media does hype things up in NZ making it seem less safe than what it really is ill admit that the country is over rated. The crap that we thought only happened in other places is now happening here in NZ. I remember back in the day watching a kid get arrested in the US for saying something online and thinking "thank God I live in NZ where you can rant all you like and nobody gives a shit and gives you time to chill".... not anymore, it's really authoritarian here now. There are so many laws and I fear the police far more than I fear the criminals.
