[quote=Anonymous]DD age 13 would agree with you!  Ramen 24/7 baby!  :)

But there are a lot of really amazing countries that would be great to live in.

I'm not sure Japan is my #1 pick I have to say.  They are a culture that is very into obedience, tradition, many rules and they are not a culture that prizes independence.  I love them, I love how nice and how everything is high end because they are sooooo good and care soooo much about doing things the right way but in terms of daily existence, it's not easy.  They have a remarkable sense of humor and are so much fun.  But it's a different kind of lifestyle than in US.

I understand what you are suggesting however OP and share your sentiments.  The US is really become a hard hard place to have a family.  There was a time when the American Dream was possible but I think some people get here expecting this and leave because nope, that was then, this is now.  If you are not of a certain wealth, the life here is not a good one.  And there's not 100 ways to achieve wealth without some bit of bank to get you going as most would have you believe.

We live in a country where it's not totally subsidized by govt but has a govt that requires funding just enough that it's still a lot of money given to taxes.  In the meantime, we still gotta shell out more.  And capitalism requires that you make as much as possible.  It's hard to live in the middle way where in many other countries, it's less pressure.
