How much does it cost to immigrate to America?

Judging from the feedback from immigrant customers and the experience of friends, the monthly living expenses in the United States are really not high, which can be said to be very relaxed, about one-third of that in Beijing.

When I first landed in America, my first thought must be my home in America. If I don't want to rent a house, I have to buy a house. But buying a house in America is more cost-effective than renting a house. Even in big cities like L.A. and new york, it's much cheaper than Beijing and Shanghai. With a house, you need to consider other expenses, such as property fees and water and electricity fees. The property fee of the villa is relatively low, because the surrounding environment of the house can be maintained by itself. According to different regions, the charges are different, generally about $200 a month for water, electricity and coal.

eat

Wherever you go, eating is what you need most. Eating in the United States is very cheap, especially in China, where people like to cook at home. The food here is generally around 1 dollar and 1 pound. Meat costs about $2, and food consumption in the United States is very low. A bag of 25 pounds of flour is less than 10, and a bag of 25 pounds of rice is 20 dollars. Most Americans eat rice produced in Japan and Thailand.

clothes

American brand clothes are very cheap, and there are often promotions, such as a pair of LEE jeans. When discounting, it can be settled within $65,438+05. In America, even if you wear a world-famous dress, no one will pay more attention to it. On the contrary, wearing handmade clothes is different and admirable.

Every Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, major shopping malls will offer discounts. At this time, you can spend more money on clothes, shoes and bags. For example, if you discount 65,438+000, you can buy three clothes, 60% off shoes and 65,438+050 brand bags.

education

Children with green cards can enjoy the same educational benefits as locals in the United States. Children need to pay for kindergarten as much as in China, but primary school to high school is basically free. Public primary schools generally have school buses to pick them up.

Private schools, like China, have to pay tuition fees and parents have to send their children to and from school. If there is a school bus, they have to charge, but the education they receive is completely different from that in China.

American higher education is recognized as the first in the world. Children with green cards only need a few thousand dollars to attend ordinary public universities for one academic year. If it is a private university, it is generally between 20,000 and 30,000 US dollars. According to statistics, it costs more than one million RMB to study abroad with a green card.

insurance

There is another expense in living in the United States, and that is health insurance.

The elderly over 65 in the United States basically don't need money to see a doctor. If young people buy medical insurance, they can basically be reimbursed for seeing a doctor within the scope of medical insurance. Medical insurance is generally borne by the employer 80%-90% and the individual 10%-20%.

The medical conditions in the United States are very good, and the attitude and professionalism of medical staff are also very good. They will not prescribe drugs indiscriminately because the United States is very strict in this regard. American society is fair to most people. New immigrants will live a happy life as long as they are down-to-earth and work hard.

Some people say that electricity, water, electricity and coal cost 200 yuan a month, so RMB is more than 1000 yuan, which is very expensive, ok. In this way, it is not bad, especially wrong. Your monthly income is 5,000 or even 10,000, and you feel the pressure of consumption at home. In the United States, even if you earn $3,000 a month, you can live comfortably and there is no pressure to provide a car. Or you can think about it, can you spend 100 yuan to buy a pair of brand-name running shoes with the same face value?

Of course, this is not to say how good the United States is, but to show the difference in living consumption level. As wage earners, we certainly hope that the lower the price, the better, right?
