London is wonderful if you’re fortunate enough to be able to afford the rent / mortgage. I think the tax situation for Americans living outside the US is really tough
I just live at home. If your salary is low enough you can qualify for social housing which is cheaper affordable rent. That’s what most Londoners do. Best you can get is a 1 bed flat though.
Who the fk wants to live in London when there are plenty of other cities that are beautiful and safe like York or Edinburgh. londons such a dump, i cant stand the place. Glad to be from the north 😂
You forgot there’s more weeks paid holiday in U.K. than in America , I’m a nurse and I got 9 weeks paid holiday as I’m more than 20 yrs in my employment /nhs , but 7 weeks on your first year of employment , and most importantly free healthcare
Seriously, how blessed you are with healthcare. Yes, you pay for it by way of various taxes…but you will never lose your home or have to claim bankruptcy because you got sick. One illness and you can lose everything you have worked for years and years in the US.
How much you get paid? In usa too, nurses too get around seven week of paid holiday at the end of the year Their insurace is paid by hospital. Btw, how much do you earn per hour? With 20 years experience, nurses are paid $70 per hour

British here! I’d like to mention the small word changes in England. You don’t have to change your language because we can understand you but you will have to say crisps for what you call chips as we can get confused and thing you want fries. Other than that we have been surrounded by American TV and books so we know all your vocabulary. Also English slang is very different. There are a bunch of things like “mandem”, and some other things I don’t know how to spell. This slang is typically used by gang members or people who act publicly indecent (boys at my school) so try to avoid using it. Also, gangs are very common in England so if you come across one pretend you don’t see them. If they talk to you just be polite because they sometimes have weapons and the worst part is that they are often minors.
The salaries in US are more because they make you work more ( hours per week) while UK has a work life balance In UK if you earn less, you also work less hours per week
you forgot to ad, if you decide to renounce us citizenship to no longer pay taxes there, it's stupidly complicated and not cheap. depending on your tax status, it can be quite expensive (exit tax treats all your assets as if they were sold and tax accordingly) also once renounced there is no going back...
@@sender5804 State pensions are about enough to buy a bag of crisps once a week and unemployment benefit sucks for most people whilst a tiny minority abuse it by fake job seeking. It’s 26% of all the money I earn outside of personal allowance. How can the NHS be so abysmal when I pay that much for it I’ve decided to take out Bupa through my employer this year because I’ve seen how my older colleagues and parents have been totally messed around by it.
For Brits struggling to explain fries vs chips. In america what Britain calls chips would be "steak fries" which are a lot more common in the UK where they are called chips haha
You also get free health care, free dental, free eye care, and free public school. In fact most first world countries have free health care except the USA .
UK wages are often lower in your first positions in the UK market. They don't look upon experience from other places as favourably as they do local experience or that was my experience a decade ago when I moved from Australia. The US (and Eritrea) are the only two nations which tax by passport which means wherever you go some US taxation will apply if you retain US citizenship. Nowhere compares to the costing and implications of the US health care system, but everywhere is a little different, so its worth checking into.
When you factor in exchange rate, way more paid holidays guaranteed and a significantly stronger public sector, the wage difference really really isn’t an issue. That’s not even accounting for any serious illnesses or medical procedures which would bankrupt you in the USA but have no financial repercussions whatsoever in the UK. Most people will probably be better off living the UK, all things considered.
The subject of health costs is mentioned in passing, but it deserves more detailed discussion. The NHS is not perfect, but you will not be bankrupted by enormous bills for treatment (or any bills for that matter). The majority of patients pay nothing for prescription drugs. Those who must pay can purchase a "season ticket" which covers the cost of recurring prescriptions. Criticising the NHS is something of a national sport in the UK, but in reality free treatment is taken for granted and relied upon by the UK population.
America people are converging to the UK because we have a much better lifestyle and as a result we live five years longer than those of the US along with being a more caring civilised nation, and most 'importantly' our freedoms are so secure we don't 'constantly' keep referring to them the way Americans do. Great Britain is a fantastic place and the same can be said for some other European countries. Since the British created the worldwide web Americans are beginning to realize just how far behind the times they really are. God Bless America, perhaps that should be God help America.
One tip before moving to the UK, If you call crisps chips or a bin a “trash can” most people will probably not mind, after all it is what you are used to.

You have to still pay taxes to the US government when living abroad and not using any amenities!! Shocking from the US but not surprised it is the land of the free you know lol 😂😂😂😂
You have more space per head of population, explore your own back yard, and we walk on the pavement. English is from England, Americanese is not understood.
Salary Is down to the fact of the exchange rate, that employers in UK give you 28 days paid holiday every year as opposed to 0 in the US, healthcare is free not like the extortionate charges in the US.
Speaking from first hand experience, when considering both total financial compensation (including benefits) and total cost of living (including rent), you'll have far less savings after a year of living in London, doing similar work and living in a similar apartment/flat, than you would even if you lived in expensive US cities like NYC or SF. Quite simply, UK costs more, and UK jobs pay less.That difference is even higher if you compare UK suburbs to US suburbs. I think it wounds British pride for some reason to just admit that the financial quality of life is worse in the UK than the US - especially for skilled labor like doctors, engineers, and business professionals. It's not even close.
@Hugh Quillin To be fair, it is the largest metropolitan population area in the UK, as well as being the seat of the central government and both the financial & de facto cultural capital of not only England but also of the entire UK. From that perspective, it'd be the American equivalent (at least from an influence standpoint) to combining New York City, Washington DC, and Los Ageles into the same city and then wondering why it garners so much attention.
@@halfhawkhalfman but still there are many cultures around the British isles , i for one have never been to the usa but i still know there is more to it than a few city's or states.
One thing you forgot to mention is that in the UK, the tax man is not going to ask you to file taxes if you're not residing in the country. That's all depends on countries who have a double-taxation agreement. You may not have to pay twice if the country you're resident in has a 'double-taxation agreement' with the UK. Depending on the agreement, you can apply for either: partial or full relief before you've been taxed.
The tax thing is insane… having said that, I wonder how much money the UK could claim if UK citizens living abroad had to pay the UK government tax on their income.
Number 1- DONT I was born and raised in England and it’s so fucking shit🤣 I literally get away on a holiday or long trip as often as possible, the weathers pretty crap, lots of crime etc especially around London, everything just keeps getting worse with the government etc. I’m looking myself and would advise people to look at different European countries like Spain, Portugal, Montenegro etc, much cheaper cost of living, cheaper property prices and much nicer weather
i think it’s because the exchange rate has got a lot worse (for the UK) with the dollar, as it used to be that the $1 was about £0.5-0.6, and the difference in cost of living and salaries still reflects that. however, the exchange rate is now $1=£0.8 so a british person will find american prices crazy and unaffordable. this being said, it works on the american’s favour, so if you can bring over a load of dollars in your bank account using one like Starling with no foreign transaction fees, you should actually feel like your money goes a lot further in the UK than the USA. plus, you don’t have to worry about healthcare or schools being funded by the local house prices (schools are either funded directly by the government or by local city/county councils)
There’s exchange rate, yes, but also the lower relative cost of living. Accommodation in rich cities where people would often earn higher salaries (like New York) is all significantly more expensive than housing in London, which is saying something. Then the free healthcare really comes into its own, too.
We do have the french fries that look skinny (like fast food ones) but we also have thicker types known as chips. People also think that we call cookies, biscuits when in reality, we have cookies and we have biscuits. they do not look alike.
Let's get this clear Americans all make this mistake. What you call fries thise thin things you get at McDonalds we have always traditionally called them French Fries. The thicker longer ones are chips although if cooked in the oven known as wedges.
Salaries in the rest of Europe are way lower. I live a lavish life in the UK with my salary and after having studied 7 years at UC Berkeley, where my master and PhD were actually useless, thank you UK for allowing me a high standard of living thanks to my education. Besides, they’d have to drag me by force back to Cali😂
Salaries are lower in the UK well US pays 7.25 an hour which is nothing and won't even pay for food. Besides if you do get 100k that 100k is worth alot less when you are paying 2000 for a bedroom and paying high price for basic food items
For Jim. CROW European Americans and model minorities Americans, remember there are Black British people in the UK and they do not tolerate anti Black racism. So, if you make the mistake of racially abusing Black Brits, you are liable to face redrum.
So many factors many people have spent $200,000 on an education to get that hundred thousand dollar salary. Everything else is what the individual values

In the UK pay is less and cost of living is a lot more. Don‘t come here. It isn‘t wise. Germany offers more if you want to come to europe. Australia or New zealand offer a hell of a lot more
Tax, if your UK tax exceeds your US tax bill then you only pay the UK tax. £50k is $63k of course you get healthcare, excellent public transport, lower cost of living, less chemicals in your food
Their's no law in the uk that states you have to pay taxes. In fact the law is quite the opposite stating that if you disagree with the governments actions you must withhold funding or support of any kind. Accessories and arbiters act of 1888, terrorism act of 2000 and the international criminal courts act 2001.

Don’t be discouraged, I am 54 and I want to move there in 5 years. I am trying to plan now.
Me too!! 😩😭👍
Go get out of my Country!!!
In the UK you get to eat cheaper, fresh food that doesn't contain a bunch of chemicals.
4. don't come were overcrowded
Yep! I would hate having a yank living next to me
@@Getoffmytrain_97268careful, your xenophobia is showing
You have more space per head of population, explore your own back yard, and we walk on the pavement. English is from England, Americanese is not understood.
@@johngilbert572 sounds like you had a bit much to drink
@@Getoffmytrain_97268 Yeah i hate if you guys go into a war we have to back your ass
And we expect you to use the words "Please" and "Thank you"
Do you genuinely believe that Americans don’t say that?
@@RobertJeffreyHill Not habitually
@@saintetienne755 What part of the US did you visit?
And no 4 dont bother coming..we are FULL UP with immigrants.
That’s literally impossible
Salary Is down to the fact of the exchange rate, that employers in UK give you 28 days paid holiday every year as opposed to 0 in the US, healthcare is free not like the extortionate charges in the US.
One more thing. It's ALUMINIUM!
No its ALUMINIUM!
@@CovenantersfriendRTB you're just agreeing 🤷
😅😅
Speaking from first hand experience, when considering both total financial compensation (including benefits) and total cost of living (including rent), you'll have far less savings after a year of living in London, doing similar work and living in a similar apartment/flat, than you would even if you lived in expensive US cities like NYC or SF. Quite simply, UK costs more, and UK jobs pay less.That difference is even higher if you compare UK suburbs to US suburbs. I think it wounds British pride for some reason to just admit that the financial quality of life is worse in the UK than the US - especially for skilled labor like doctors, engineers, and business professionals. It's not even close.
why does every one think that the uk is just london?
@Hugh Quillin To be fair, it is the largest metropolitan population area in the UK, as well as being the seat of the central government and both the financial & de facto cultural capital of not only England but also of the entire UK. From that perspective, it'd be the American equivalent (at least from an influence standpoint) to combining New York City, Washington DC, and Los Ageles into the same city and then wondering why it garners so much attention.
@@halfhawkhalfman but still there are many cultures around the British isles , i for one have never been to the usa but i still know there is more to it than a few city's or states.
@Hugh Quillin oh, without a doubt! In particular, I loved my visits to the "West Country" of England, as well as Edinburgh in Scotland.
As a person who lived in the US for 8 years, me and my family moved to the UK. Life is much easier here than in Arizona. London isn't Britain.
One thing you forgot to mention is that in the UK, the tax man is not going to ask you to file taxes if you're not residing in the country. That's all depends on countries who have a double-taxation agreement. You may not have to pay twice if the country you're resident in has a 'double-taxation agreement' with the UK. Depending on the agreement, you can apply for either: partial or full relief before you've been taxed.
when the dollar is back at the level it belongs at, 2:1 GBP, the salaries will be back in line. your money printer can't go brrr forever.
Though we are just so it can all to go to various people's pockets *cough* *cough*
USA gdp per capita is 50% higher so yeah salaries will be noticeably higher in a richer country. That 2:1 was exception to the rule
Cost of living here is very high. We have a lot of people living in poverty because the wages can't keep up with high rents.
Yes, imagine living in the USA in the same position but not having access to healthcare, free or subsided childcare.
America is a lot worse off. Also things are cheaper here
I feel dumber after watching this.. You have to factor in exchange rates and the cost of living in each country .. the UK is fine
The tax thing is insane… having said that, I wonder how much money the UK could claim if UK citizens living abroad had to pay the UK government tax on their income.
How about dont were ok without you
Number 1- DONT
I was born and raised in England and it’s so fucking shit🤣 I literally get away on a holiday or long trip as often as possible, the weathers pretty crap, lots of crime etc especially around London, everything just keeps getting worse with the government etc. I’m looking myself and would advise people to look at different European countries like Spain, Portugal, Montenegro etc, much cheaper cost of living, cheaper property prices and much nicer weather
i think it’s because the exchange rate has got a lot worse (for the UK) with the dollar, as it used to be that the $1 was about £0.5-0.6, and the difference in cost of living and salaries still reflects that. however, the exchange rate is now $1=£0.8 so a british person will find american prices crazy and unaffordable.
this being said, it works on the american’s favour, so if you can bring over a load of dollars in your bank account using one like Starling with no foreign transaction fees, you should actually feel like your money goes a lot further in the UK than the USA. plus, you don’t have to worry about healthcare or schools being funded by the local house prices (schools are either funded directly by the government or by local city/county councils)
18,000 people aren't shot or stabbed to death each year in UK!
There’s exchange rate, yes, but also the lower relative cost of living. Accommodation in rich cities where people would often earn higher salaries (like New York) is all significantly more expensive than housing in London, which is saying something. Then the free healthcare really comes into its own, too.
Well, a chip is a piece of chipped potato, and chips are crisps because crisps are crispy
You won't get shot at school or randomly in the street
We do have the french fries that look skinny (like fast food ones) but we also have thicker types known as chips.
People also think that we call cookies, biscuits when in reality, we have cookies and we have biscuits. they do not look alike.
Actually: French Fries are the same: Chips are Chips and Crisps are what we call Chips.
Both fries and chips are available in the UK,and there is a difference. Fries are thin, chips are chunkier.
mostly you are safer in uk and won’t go bankrupt for paying your hospital bills and your chances of being killed by guns is 0,00009%
Of course, you have to factor in the exchange rate. Only 15 years ago, there were 2 us dollars to the pound. Still not one to one
Please don’t
A French fry and a chip are different FYI 😋 we have both.
If you are out of the country most of the year $106,000 is not taxed.
Let's get this clear Americans all make this mistake.
What you call fries thise thin things you get at McDonalds we have always traditionally called them French Fries.
The thicker longer ones are chips although if cooked in the oven known as wedges.
Urgh there are so many inaccuracies in these nightmare videos. I can’t even begin to explain.
Lets make it very clear, you will have to pay a NHS surcharge depending on your visa. The NHS isn't "free" for visa holders.
I don’t understand why you get paid in England when it’s more expensive in general than the USA
Salaries in the rest of Europe are way lower. I live a lavish life in the UK with my salary and after having studied 7 years at UC Berkeley, where my master and PhD were actually useless, thank you UK for allowing me a high standard of living thanks to my education. Besides, they’d have to drag me by force back to Cali😂
And yet despite all this people keep flooding in. I wonder why?
Salaries are lower in the UK well US pays 7.25 an hour which is nothing and won't even pay for food. Besides if you do get 100k that 100k is worth alot less when you are paying 2000 for a bedroom and paying high price for basic food items
That tax shit is so stupid 😂😂. Everyone outside of USA can move anywhere and not have to report taxes back to their home country
For Jim. CROW European Americans and model minorities Americans, remember there are Black British people in the UK and they do not tolerate anti Black racism.
So, if you make the mistake of racially abusing Black Brits, you are liable to face redrum.
Lol as if there aren’t millions of white British people who are super racist and anti-black.
As you are a US citizen, I challenge your statement ‘I still speak English’
It’s Americanese at best …
The U.S.tax thing is ridiculous, I’m surprised people aren’t revoluting over that, get none of the benefits but pay tax.
If I was a Yank id be fuming at that income tax earned abroad rule, thats a joke
If I move abroad I’d just revoke my US citizenship lol
lol, most people don’t earn that much
So many factors many people have spent $200,000 on an education to get that hundred thousand dollar salary. Everything else is what the individual values
Ok you know the conversion rate between dollars and pounds right?!

That first point was so dumb 😂😂😭😭🤦🏻♂️
If you change your residence from USA to UK could you than not pay tax in USA?
French fries are not chips, they are very different things. French fries are french fries and chips are chips.
and prepared to have a heart attack from the cost of living crisis but don’t worry healthcare is free
If you move from the US to the UK you should go see a doctor first thing
I mean both are total dumps, but at least in the US you could move places and choose good weather, different lifestyle. In the UK there is no choice.
It will be free if you wait until you get to the UK
The US and UK have nearly the same obesity rates.
Damn, you still have to pay US taxes even though you don't live there anymore? Why
It’s a dumping ground you be better of staying over the pond honestly we are a joke if ask me but what do i know am no politician lol
Funny how you're hosting these same refugees and we are too . If you're waiting for china and Russia to invade think about that. I think the invaders are already here and just waiting for the right time .All men of fighting age too . Not many women or children. Think about that and get ready. Maybe time to give them a welcome party. You have problem youth . Put them to good use and work together to stop the nonsense while you can.
Not the Uk peeps capping. The cost of living crisis, the failing. Nah, strikes everyday …,
French fries are still French fries in the UK.
Chips are bigger and thicker.
In the UK pay is less and cost of living is a lot more.
Don‘t come here. It isn‘t wise. Germany offers more if you want to come to europe.
Australia or New zealand offer a hell of a lot more
Tax, if your UK tax exceeds your US tax bill then you only pay the UK tax. £50k is $63k of course you get healthcare, excellent public transport, lower cost of living, less chemicals in your food
Stay where you are 😊
Make sure its a round trip. 😅
I'm English an fries are fries ,chips are chips they are different fries are thin chips are chunky an crisps are crisps
Their's no law in the uk that states you have to pay taxes. In fact the law is quite the opposite stating that if you disagree with the governments actions you must withhold funding or support of any kind.
Accessories and arbiters act of 1888, terrorism act of 2000 and the international criminal courts act 2001.
Firstly forget everything you see in this video
Did I hear her correctly...you still get taxed in the US even if you don't live there 😅 What is this joke
You file taxes - but you will not be taxed unless you make over 150k us or 270k joint.
No country outside the us pays that kind of money as a salary.
