Strikes me that you guys earn so much more than us folks in UK. I just read on another site about frugal living that one person has managed to pay off over $8000 of debt since January. Geez i haven't earned that much since January!
I have always had a fascination with USA, although have only visited twice. I love reading all your blogs, it keeps me focussed. I read a lot of books to keep me focussed too, but would welcome any book suggestions. Sorry for the second post of the day!
I want to move to USA!

I do believe the fascination is equal with our desire to see your country! I have never gotten to visit yours! Only through books!

My other friend inherited a tiny house here. Though she is probably upper middle class in her home country, she cannot afford the expenses of plumbers, a furnace & radiator specialist, and painters that her house needs. In the USA, such workers are middle class themselves, and so are paid well. In her country, such workers are often close to grunt labor and inexpensive to employ. I mow her lawn for her and keep her garden; and I think she would choke to know how much it would cost to hire out the job. She visits about once a year, sometimes twice.

Of course, you are welcome to come visit any time!
