🚨 AN AMERICAN IN TOKYO SHOWED HER MONTHLY BILLS — AMERICANS ARE HAVING A MELTDOWN A student living in Tokyo just posted her total bills for the month and the comments section is pure chaos. Electric + gas (AC running nonstop in the summer heat): ¥8,218 Water: ¥1,232 Health insurance: ¥830 Phone (unlimited): ¥4,075 Amazon Prime + YouTube Premium + Netflix: a few thousand more Grand total: ¥15,941 — roughly $100. Americans are staring at the numbers in disbelief. The same basic utilities and subscriptions in the U.S. regularly cost three or four times that. Even with Tokyo’s minimum wage factored in, people are saying the comparison is brutal. Would you move across the world if it meant your monthly bills looked like this… or is the U.S. cost of living just completely broken?
