1 Life in New York is Tough for Me

I totally agree with Xinyu too. When I first came to US, I do the math too. RMB = USD *8.
Not any more. It does not make any sense.
But there is something i want to mention. Take her example, you make 5000rmb, and i make $5000, . I need to pay same expenses like water, electricity as you do, other than that, house insurance, car insurance, property tax, income tax (federal and state), social security, medicare... a lot more .... while your money is after tax, pure cash...
Not cheap to live here either.
