Nah my cousins are all on 6 figures in Silicon Valley. You can't buy a house within a 1 hour drive for anything less than a mill. Both the guys flipping burgers and the ones working high end jobs do 50 hour weeks it's just the culture.
U guys get like 5 days annual leave in a new job. We get 4 weeks standard.
Eating out is expensive too, you go to a restaurant and expect that they pay their employees properly because the prices are high, but as always you add the tax and a 15-20% tip. Imagine dinner for 4 being like $200+ in a crowded restaurant and then having to pay the waiter on behalf of the business. The tip culture is an embarrassment.
LA was really starting to get run down; lots of small businesses blocks vacant in Beverly Hills and a lot of the roads in disrepair. The century city shopping centre was being renovated to attract people and was pretty dead. Then you got like 30 000 homeless people in tents and shit on one side of the cbd.
New York is probably the favorite city. Have to say though next time I'll be hiring a car and doing a road trip, plus 3 and a half weeks is not enough time there. Need like 5-6 weeks to really experience a fair share of your large and densely populated country.

Weird how you insinuate the most expensive place to live in America by far is the norm for the rest of the country. It shows how much of an idiot you are. Also I've never worked at a job that didn't give less than 3 weeks of annual leave (currently I get 30 and it carrys over at end of the FY), no idea who the fuck you're talking to that got jipped out of their Wal-Mart sick days. I also find it hilarious that your "cousins" that make "6 figures" are complaining about a $50 meal at a nice restaurant + a 10$ tip. Maybe if you can't afford it you should cook at home. Stop implying you know about american business/job culture when you don't, at all.
