15% is a shit tip 18-20% is the standard now a days

It ain't really a rip unless it's 200% and posted via snapchat or Facebook

The suggestion that Australia is cheaper or better value than north America is horribly flawed.

5 dollar jugs Pabs at Great Northern in whitefish Montana vs 30 dollar jugs at Byron Bay.....

Electricity that isn't over 100 bucks a month.

Gas bills that barely break 20 bucks a month.

Petrol prices at leat 30% less than Australia

And let's not even get started on how far a dollar stretch on real estate. Then add to the fact that that income tax and rates are less. Gst is less. Etc etc etc. On the same money I'd be on in Australia based in Canada, which is typically more expensive than most of the states, I've been around 2k a.month better off on the same, possibly better lifestyle than I was living put of Brisbane.

I would say in practice it's even cheaper than that HB. When you consider how much better the taxation system is. Based out of Texas in my bracket I could easily be a further 1000 a month better off.

American does have some nice corporate subsidies on fuel, gas, electric, and food. but the food is really adulterated with additives and modifications to maintain efficiency and meet demand

Purdue adds msg salt to all their stuff and you wouldn't know it.

I ate chicken from a Central American supplier once (imported) at this Mexican joint. And I was shocked at how the chicken tasted (it was indescribably gross and void of flavor. Eat at a joint that uses a non-US chicken supplier and u'll see what I mean) and then I found out about the additives and adulterants Purdue uses and it made sense.

I think my experience is based off of New York and San Francisco prices. I'm sure there are cheaper places in the US like Detroit.

Cool story.

Now factor in currency conversion and the fact Australian state tax is incorporated into all prices pre sale.

Now factor in tips not being required.

Recalculate.
