Cost Of Living In Top American Cities vs Top Indian Cities : docs.google.co...
Is a $100k salary in America enough? Is it equivalent to making 23L in India or more or less? Last month I travelled to some of the top American cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York) and learnt the truth about price parity, cost of living, the on ground reality of America. From expensive rents in San Francisco to the hidden costs of healthcare, this video provides an in-depth analysis of living the American Dream. Discover the nuances of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), learn about the cost of everyday essentials, and see firsthand the challenges and perks of life in America. Whether you're considering a move to the US or just curious about how far your money goes, this video is packed with real-life examples and personal experiences that shed light on the financial realities in both countries.

My hypothesis is that Indians go the America for one of 3 reasons: 1. To save money 2. To escape family 3. To escape society If you don't have one of these 3 problems, India is likely the better choice in the long term. But people who want to stay a short term in the US would end up making a much bigger corpus than they can ever in India. The PPP argument applies to only those planning to live in the US.

American Indian, living in the U.S. for 24 years now. Here's my perspective - a LOT of things have changed since the U.S. boom period of ex-President Bill Clinton. That era was the absolute best time to move to the U.S. Homelessness was always a part of the U.S., but if you knew how to read a JAVA book, you had a job in the mid to late 90s. I personally know Veterinarian docs who shifted to IT during those days and made a killing. Today's U.S. is entirely different - highly competitive, technology changing every week (if not sooner) and a huge pool of talent available. Combine that with a rising inflation, geo-political dynamics, and you get the U.S. of today. It still is (by many standards) one of the best countries to live in, but it's definitely not the U.S. of the golden era. This is fact.

I totally agree. My parents immigrated to the US from India in the 90s. Nowadays, everything is super expensive, and salaries haven't yet caught up with the increased cost of living. Those fresh out of university who are just starting their career have to live paycheck to paycheck if they can't stay with their parents until they move higher up the corporate hierarchy. They spend almost everything they earn just to live. If you can't afford a car like many people, public transportation here is awful, so it's better to have a bicycle, because that actually is faster! NYC has better public transportation, but everything else there is ridiculously expensive, so it's better to live somewhere else.

But after moving to America, a developed nation, I realized that to have a good life in a developed country, you have to work harder than a developing country, there are absolutely no breaks, labour is not cheap so you have to work hard a lot throughout the day. Now I understand why developed nation is developed. If you move from a developing nation to a developed nation and don't start working harder physically and mentally then you will remain poor in a developed country.

Even the exams which is the best way for an Indian to get a job are rigged. So yeah there are definitely advantages of moving to a developed country. You have to work harder anywhere in the world.

Our country is still a lot better in some ways, although we need constant improvement in so many levels anyway.

This is such a bullshit comparison. I have lived in the US as a student. And you just cannot compare living in India with US. The cultures are different, the life is different. As she said at the start of her video, how do you put a price tag on clean air. You can get the same advantages moving to a lower PPP economy than India. But did it cross your mind to compare your life with it and move to that country? No, because the intangible comparisons are hard to make. Land in the US and the first breath you take, you can feel the difference. It's like living in Darjeeling with the view of Delhi. Our food is adulterated, water is contaminated, hygiene is non existent, roads are pot holled and traffic is congesting. You cannot do a PPP comparison of life here with a developed country.

You've got to be blind or highly privileged to not see how bad homelessness is here. In the US, the only reason you are homeless is if you are on drugs and deny taking govt. housing. Any person who is homeless and wants to have a roof over is head is provided by the state. Homeless people in the US are mostly drug addicts. Come on a tour with me in Delhi and I'll show you what actual poverty looks like. USA isn't perfect but unless you are making shit loads of money in India, life here is way tougher than in the US.

Another point to consider. If you go as a student, you go on a F visa. You get max 2 years of OPT (optional practical training) period after you graduate during which time you can work and apply for H1B which is obtained through a lottery. So you get two to three chances to be in the lottery, and if you are lucky, you get your H1B. H1B must be renewed every three years, and you have to come to your home country every time to get the new visa stamp. During these 6 years, your employer must apply for a green card for you, otherwise you'd have to return after the 6 years of H1B are exhausted. The green card application process (just the submission) takes around one year, minimum. Once the application has been submitted, you can get your H1B renewed as long as your GC application is in the queue. But remember on H1B, you can not pursue your own startup (without some extraordinary situations involving expensive lawyers and lots of money), not can you one day decide that you want to try being something other than whatever role your H1B was granted for (say a software engineer). And if you lose your job, you have 60 days to get a new job and a new H1B (which takes from 3 to four weeks) otherwise you have to return home. Finally, the GC queue at this time is really long. One report from last year says 134 years for an Indian applicant. Consider these factors before you make the jump. There are going to be challenges everywhere, but I hope all young people are well informed before they make such life changing decisions. Best of luck for whatever you decide.

[@aaditkamat4995]

I’ve just found myself coming to the thing that most spiritual text talk about: “Find peace within yourself first”. There’s any options and many paths. It can be confusing. Just evaluate your situation, ask an AI assistant if required and come to your own conclusions. People will keep being engaged and try to engage you in a shouting contest. If there’s anything I’d hope you use to discern - it’s what you can perceive as negative and what is positive for you. Just get the facts and the rest are all just opinions. Putting down one country in favour of another is not going to serve anyone any good.

This is an incredibly high quality video. Kudos AevyTV. I was in America for my masters and did not get picked up in H1b. I was there from 2009-2014. I have lived in SF, North Carolina, Connecticut, Orlando and America was a very different place at that time. It really was just like in the movies. The drug and homeless crisis was not that bad and cost of living, even though high, was not this bad. It is only in the last few years that these issues have exponentially exploded. Another thing that is not discussed about studying and working in America is loneliness/depression. Most of my friends have gone through it due to varios reasons like away from family, breakups, feeling like an outsider, etc. It gets much worse once you get out of the study phase and get a job. In college, you still have frieds and good roommates. Once you get a job, you are usually working most of the time and time you suddenly have a large income you really dont know what to do with(roommates at this phase are also working and dont have time to socialize). Many Indians just go bonkers with their spending. I have personally suggested and helped 2 of my close friends to come back to India and they are doing really well here. Its not all doom and gloom yet though you have a good support system and are able to mingle with Americans well, you will do juat fine there.

In my own experience the less you earn in India, it is more beneficial for you when you move to US.

Some will even put long list of points about why everyone should try to go to US and why anyone who is not going is actually a big looser. I have been to that situation.

To all the people who have watched this video, please do not buy this bullshit! Clearly, these creators have never lived in the US. I've studied and lived in the US for 6 years in different cities like Boston, San Francisco, Jersey City and St Louis. 84 lakh is enough depending on where you stay in the US. US is a massive country of 50 states. If you stay in the most expensive cities in the world like New York or San Francisco, then obviously that income is not enough. It's like saying Rs 30,000 is being poor in India, but India is not just Mumbai or Delhi. I have lived comfortably on a salary of 84 lakh and have been able to save more than I saved back in India.

There is no political unrest, Religious conflict, cheap mentality, unnecessary respect to the elders or senior even they are wrong. 4. There are some Problem as well in usa like Gun culture, homelessness and crime but in the end of the day you will get Justice not like India where you just need to write an essay😅. 5.

In India, the abundance of labor stems from a large population, contributing to its affordability. A hallmark of developed nations is the dignity of labor, ensuring fair treatment and the ability to save for the future without relying on connections. Clean roads, spacious environments, and mutual respect are cultivated over decades. Adherence to environmental regulations and maintaining litter-free spaces are national endeavors that improve overall quality of life. Whether dropping kids at school, enjoying a stroll in a large park, or embarking on road trips in an RV, these experiences are invaluable to those who cherish them. The structured life of order comes with its costs, where living in suburbs often means avoiding high expenses and enjoying a better cost of living. Moreover, quick police response and the bravery of firefighters during emergencies are truly commendable. Having lived here for over 20 years, these factors have been significant for me. While preferences vary, a well-crafted video aside, mismanagement in places like California and NYC, often attributed to Democratic governance, underscores contrasting challenges.

I'm from NJ and I went to SF many years ago with my friend. I had the same experience as the Starbucks incident...My friend and I were waiting to be picked up on a Sunday morning at a bus stop by a tour company since we were going to Napa Valley for a wine tour. It was 8am and there were homeless people all around and it seemed like we were in a zombie movie. I would say to my knowledge years ago there was a large mental asylum in Arizona that shut down and gave patients a one-way ticket to SF, Portland Oregon, and I forget the third city, but it's no surprise those cities now have major drug and homeless problems. While I do agree with this video to an extent, as an American with Indian parents, I do think she is generalizing a bit....It's really difficult to generalize things with America because like India, each state is very different, not to mention our laws are highly decentralized, so laws that exist in California don't often exist in NJ or NY. Also, I know she is giving amounts of housing and so forth in INR, but it's not a completely fair comparison because you have to consider the rent to how much you are earning in USD. While the US has a lot of problems, I can say that my parents probably do have a better quality of life in the US than in India. It's true we don't have regular house help (though my mom does pay my neighbor to make a few meals and so forth) and my parents had to work very hard, my father who has lived in the US for the past 40 years, still retains his Indian citizenship for sentimental reasons, and went to an IIT school and left a good job in india to come to the US, acknowledges that he wouldn't have been able to save as much money or help his family back in India (building a house for my grandparents, etc.). even if he worked his whole life in India (with white money alone)...just giving some perspective, but maybe a lot of things have changed since then.

If you don't work hard and by working hard i mean literally getting rid of your social life, entertainment the dream of studying in a Tier-1 university shatters. Unlike abroad the avg package detoriate at a much higher rate as you go to the lower end of the spectrum. The population is the downfall and the strength of india but as a individual person this population is responsible for the extreme hardships faced by a fellow indian.if you earn 25k a month you fall in top 5-10% of the indian population. What is the quality of life for anyone that falls in this category/lower?

And compared to that part of India - any negatives of Western culture looked minuscule to me.

First 6 years here I lived pay check to pay check - still it is totally worth - not in the lines of money - there is some thing called sastisfaction in life - I had this same satisfaction when I lived in India while working in the Government set up for 4 years teaching in Govt Hospital for just 15,000 rupees, Point is migration is not for money for everyone.

This was a really good video and drawing comparisons from actual experience that you had there was really informative. Makes one questions lot of things. Keep it up guys, truly outstanding!.

[@vedantsharma4518]

Been living in US for almost 10 years and can say this video is quite distorted and biased. It essentially is apples to ladyfinger comparison, which really doesn’t make sense. In no way saying India is worse or America is better. I still find India better rather the best but this video does no justice to either of the countries while drawing comparison!

[@Bigboichud24]

why?

[@sumedhhoskote1991]

A nice attempt but a little limited in scope. Granted you can't really do a lot on a short trip, but New York and San Francisco are hardly representative of the American experience. Over the last 16 years in the US, I have lived in NYC for 4 years, one year bouncing between the DC area, Philadelphia, New Jersey and Boston, and then have been in the Midwest for 11 years. Mid-tier cities or smaller towns provide a far different experience. It's common knowledge that San Francisco has gone way downhill. People and businesses have been moving away from there. Post COVID with remote work becoming more common, I believe there is increased movement away from NYC as well, although NYC is far from being as bad as SF. Having lived 24 years in a big Indian city prior to coming here, I think the one of the big differences between the US and India is that when you compare standard of living in a big city vs mid-tier city/small town, in the US you'd prefer being in a mid-tier city/smaller town whereas in India you'd prefer to be in a big city. This is because of a much lower cost of land, lower cost of living, and shorter commutes. Mid-tier cities or smaller towns, in many cases, offer many of the same amenities as bigger cities would. And for whatever falls short (e.g. Broadway shows, music concerts etc), you can easily use all the money you save in a smaller town to go visit the big city for a weekend to get your fix of city activities. Median household income in the US is around $75k, and yes the $100k Bay Area/NYC salaries are certainly not representative of the country and would certainly not be considered "entry level" in most parts of the country. Sending USD to India for support is fine but I'd caution against sending USD to India for "saving" unless you're really sure of what you are doing and where you're investing it. Yes, interest rates will be higher in India but say you earn 7% in savings in India and 4% in the US (in a HYSA), but if the Rupee got 5% weaker versus the Dollar over the same year (that's just going from 80 to 84) you'd actually fall behind in terms of value.

[@stephenmichaud6317]

Meh, cherry picked statements. I am normally very opened minded to criticism, but this is very biased. There are better ways to be proud of India, rather than insulting another country. Not saying America is any better when it comes to this mindset (we are not) but I expect better from India.

[@ritjai5482]

What about indian work life balance. They want us to work 12 to 14 hours. 70 hrs per week. Why that is not discussed

[@NiranjanBendre]

Unfortunately this video along with other such videos on this channel has been strongly biased. Even the tone changes drastically when talking about one of the countries. If everything is so bad in America, based on some travel to only two major cities in America, it should have been not a sought after destination for so many immigrants from not only India but all the countries of the world. Hope you can set aside the bias, if there is any and I do apologize if I picked it wrong, and then do a comparison to also highlight the good aspects of America and negatives of India. Looking forward to it!

[@jeevankikahaniya6339]

People only goes to america because 1 usd = 83 rupees... And this the game. America is a sinking ship

[@NiranjanBendre]

@@jeevankikahaniya6339 that is one reason for people to move but a very oversimplified version. There is no evidence that America is sinking by any means. It is an ally of India and India gets a lot of revenue and trade from USA. India gets trade, FDI, and remittances from USA which helps grow both the countries. If one strong ally sinks, it will be a HUGE loss for India as well. I hope you can have an open mind for other countries rather than sliding into xenophobia.

yeah its actually a lvl down compared to India. I worked in MNC in bangalore, had a luxury sedan, a home, every weekend dining out, travel, lot of recreational activities. then just post covid in apr 2022, i moved to Montreal, Canada, my Salary was 100k CAD. But suddenly i was poorer than what i was in bangalore, my home was rented and just 450 sq feet, had 5th owner honda civic, eating out in a fancy place was a luxury, there was a drop on my social status ... but on social media every1 were praising me for making a life in a developed country but i was sturggling. Have to cook my own food, no maid service, no zomator (there is uber /doordash in canada but for food worth $20 will cost me $45 by the time it reaches me). A single night out like very minimal night out will cost $200-$250 so, may be once in 6 months if some 1 from office or ur friends call you out thats the only time u go out. I donno about others, i was living a better life in Bangalore than in Montreal

Yip, I am 57. Born and raised in Africa. South African citizen. Lived 7 yrs in India from 15yrs of age to 22. In the 80's. Kerala and Karnataka. Travelled to over 30 countries - US many times. Lived briefly in the UK too. I visit India, at least twice a year India was awesome in the '80s. Even better and very nice now. So affordable irdable too. Also improves each time I visit. South Africa - I am lucky to live in better places. Its really nice here. Crime is high but not as high as South side of Chicago etc. Very western in 'white' areas and African people are most humane - like family. So its a good suburban life, good roads 😂, restaurants, shopping malls, excellent housing, gyms, parks etc. Can help - good maids, gardenners etc too. So yes, your views are spot on. Nicely done.

Guess the point of this video is to reel in the anger from people living in the US. As a by product get as many views and comments as possible. Best reaction for Indians living in US would be to ignore this video. Because there is not one good point being conveyed about living in US. People who want self assurance and feel good about staying in India can watch this and be happy about it.

I don’t think people in India immigrate to Europe, North America and Australia and New Zealand because they can’t afford food or rent or can’t support their family, they immigrate because they want to travel the world (travelling the world does not mean travelling to Thailand or Dubai or Europe on a budget), they go there to live their dream of buying a nice car (not a Tata or Mohindra or Hyundai or Maruti or Honda or Toyota etc.), buy a nice house (not an apartment 50-60 KM away from metro cities or in small towns without jobs or in villages without jobs) like mid-level businessmen or mid-level celebrity or mid-level politicians or mid-level cricketers in India while they are young. Nobody likes to fulfill these dreams when they are over 50, they want to fulfill these dreams when they are in their 30s or early 40s. Imagine, earning 20-30 lacs in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai or Pune which 10%-20% software engineers, doctors, managers and highly skilled professionals manage to earn in India, that too in big metro cities. Can you afford a US or Switzerland or Bora Bora or Hawaii or Australia or New Zealand or Paris or Peru trip without thinking about hotel and flight budget with an Indian passport with this 20-40 lacs salary per annum in India? Can you buy a a house (not apartment) in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore etc. with 20-30 lacs salary per annum? Can you buy a Mercedes or BMW or Tesla in India with salary of 20-30 lacs per annum living in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore etc. if you don’t won a house in these cities? So, all these purchasing power parity, cost of living sounds nice but on reality, at least for middle class people, especially for engineers, doctors, managers or highly skilled professionals in India, these things hardly matter. So, if you have dreams and if you are not ready to compromise on your dreams, you either have to be at least a mid-level businessman/businesswoman, celebrity, cricketer or politician in India or you have to try in developed countries. I am not saying every person in India who immigrate to developed counties manage to fulfill all these dreams, but your chances are better compared to living in India and try to achieve these dreams through 9-5 jobs. I am also not saying you become happier when you immigrate to such developed countries, happiness can be different for different people. Some people are a way happier living in India with their friends, family and relatives than immigrating to a foreign country without fulfilling all these dreams in their 30s or 40s. In your 50s-60s, you more or less manage to achieve a lot of things even if not everything.
