This is flatly untrue. I suppose that is what you all say to make yourselves feel better. It costs $4000/month to rent condos in NYC so keep quiet about your 1bdr house. We may not pay as much tax as you do... but we have to fork out money out of pocket to pay for health services you get on the taxes you pay so what's new?

shymexx:

Why can't you compare like for like and compare the money I pay for heating with the money you pay for heating?? And make sure you convert the pounds sterling to the dollar equivalent...

Do that and we can start talking....

A lot of Nigerians living in London are traffic wardens

He he he!!! (Only joking)

coogar:

$4000? the equivalent of £2200?
most people pay more than that for a one tiny match-box flat. it's only on this island you would see flats that go for as high as £8000 or £10,000 per week.

I beg to differ coogar. The above has been peddled for so long that we now take it for gospel truth. You should try living in NYC, DC or even LA. Another point... you really dont have to live in a cripplingly expensive city if you cant honestly afford it. Its just plain silly... move to a cheaper spot and save money. Nigerians love the ego boost of being able to say they live in London. then come here and whine about cost of living.

That's the truth... I was lucky to have some American students on scholarship in my class whilst I was in uni - and they believe the same thing as well... UK education is widely believed to be the best in the world...

You cut your coat according to your size.Dont carry what you can't handle,it is stressful.

coogar:

london is more expensive than anywhere in america - it's not even close!
however, americans at least get the value of the amount they spend, londoners are not even close into getting that. how can you pay £4000 per month on a small flat and not have a parking space? your kitchen is bigger than the living room of most houses in london. there's no space at all - most people park on the streets and sometimes you pay for those!

Bro, it depens on where you live. I paid $238 on heat for the month of March. My condo is a three bedroom duplex.

No problem

Give papi a kiss..

I no know book:

Get the Bleep out of here. UK education better than that of the US? You must must be smoking weed. American universities rank higher than other universities all over the world year in year out. Stop taking comfort in your limited circumstances. You can never compare the two, US is far better. If doubt me Google world universities ranking. Gosh!

adaobi123:
No

davidylan:

I probably pay less for heating because unlike you, i frankly dont believe in throwing away money. I moved 20 mins away from work to avoid paying higher property taxes. The difference i plough into personal savings and my retirement account. It is nonsense to think you have made it because you pay an exorbitant cost for heat.

There are apartments in New York that cost $15,000 and above per month. Ariana Huffington pays $36,000 mothly on three bedroom apartment in New York.

coogar:

£10,000 per week is £43,333 per month = $70,000 in america.
and these apartments have no back garden or even a garage. your kids are not allowed ball games and they don't get to run in the yard at all. forget it, america is child's play to london!

These people don't even know how expensive London is...

davidylan:
that is not luxury. That is suffering. If i pay $70,000/month on a house then it better come with a helipad. Only an idiot would spend that much money for a house no bigger than a match box.
