Why would anyone want to live somewhere with a low cost of living?
A low cost of living usually indicates underlying issues like low wages, poverty, crime, lack of public oversight (lack of food inspection, control of buildings being constructed, etc), or other hidden expenses like high vat in places with low income tax...
On the whole low cost of living is just a bad sign.
And why would people care about the job they're doing if they're not being paid fairly for their services?
No, I prefer living in a high cost of living country...
My GF is american, and I'm kind of shocked to hear about the work ethics there, going to work sick, infecting co-workers and customers both, people being exhausted at work doing a poor job, jobs designed around excessive customer service from the point of view of the company only leading to stressed workers unable to offer good customer service and entitled customers giving the workers a bad time while they're also being underpaid leading to everyone having a bad experience.
Kids having a poor upbringing because their parents have to work way too much to stay afloat to truly be there for their children and being in a unhealthy mental state themselves because they're being overworked, something that's not exactly helped matters for their children...
