    I live in omaha nebraska usa, for 20 years now , I have never felt unsafe, if I ever consider moving to a different country, it will not be because of money, or health care or safety. I love usa, because no matter where in the world you come from, you will feel you belong here in no time.

    I live in the UK, I think the USA is better in terms of making money. If you are aged 22-40 and you are single without kids, The USA is better for the sole purpose of making money. This whole notion of free health care would become almost nonsensical with the overcrowding problem we have here. Every country has its issues yes. Her point is valid for those within the health industry. However as she said 40 times bigger equates to 40 times more opportunities.
    In conclusion if you are young and without kids and want to make money fast, the USA is the better option as it has more opportunities! The UK pound may be strong, but aside London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Southampton, Leeds and the big cities in Scotland, if you are not into health care or a trade like electrician, you are restricted! Even chartered accountants can’t find work here in UK.
    However her videos are great!

      As someone who lives in Germany, I always have the same opinion. The main reason I prefer to live in Germany, is that there are systems to support families and the working culture plus governance is built to support families, and to earn comfortably but not crazy high amounts like the USA.

    2 weeks is a VACATION-not LIVING somewhere. As someone who has been in the UK and US I would not consider myself qualified to say I “lived” somewhere if I was there for two weeks visiting family, not actually working, maintaining a home, and doing the everyday things in normal life.

      I have opinions though. Calm and quite country, roads and houses too tiny. Rooms crazy small. Hotels insanely expensive and overrated. Love the peace and quiet though. That’s luxury since I live in Lagos. 😂

    Hello @Nannelle thank you for this beautiful review but you forgot to mention that Nursing practice is far better in the US than the UK.I got a question for you did you work in a hospital while you were in the US?
    I was in the Uk for over 2years and i must tell you roles are well spelled out in the US.In the Uk your HCA tells you to share their roles with them cos responsibilities are not well defined,it is so different in the US because you focus on your Nursing roles and nothing else.I must say there are a lot of responsibilities i had in the Uk that are not my roles in the US.What is the point of going to work and you dont enjoy what you do due to the working environment. I think you can review this only if you have worked or stayed in the US for 3-6months...Thats my take.

    I lived in the USA and visited UK for a week and based on my experience in that one week and the experience my friend (pharmacist) and the wife (a nurse) told me which personally are not things I ove to hear about the health system( long wait time for MRI) for a fracture) and garbage collection every 2 weeks. To some people, those two negatives are enough to make them believe not like the UK if you're coming from the USA where you can get MRi or CT or US the same day or next day with health insurance and garbage collected twice weekly in the county I reside in the USA. My dear presenter. Two weeks are not enough for unbiased assessments of these 2 beautiful countries. Where are the Google. Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Boeing, Tesla and so on are headquartered? I believe the USA. Why? because of the system that encourages hard work and innovation. The biggest 10 fortune 500 companies are based in the US. Another things the presenter failed to understand and explain to her audiences is that you forgot to mention that the USA has 50 states and each states is like a country or bigger in Europe with law peculiar to the governing of those states unlike in the UK that blanket law.
    For an individual who is ambitious and have great ideas to make positive impact in the World, I will suggest USA is the place. Both the USA and UK are great countries, but comparing both countries with information just obtained after 2 weeks stay in the USA are not enough to give your audiences the true picture. Nevertheless, I say great job for even trying to post this

    Another fact about the cost of living in the U.S. Some states like mine, California, are very, very expensive. But other states are quite cheap. $600 rent in one state might cost you $2000 in another state. A 6 bedroom 3500 sq. ft house in one state might cost you $250,000, while another state like California or New York might cost you $1M or $2M, depending on where you live. Some states have no state income tax. Some states have state income tax at varying percentages. It really is like 50 different countries, all under one umbrella. So pick wisely. The life you can afford to live on a nurse's salary can get you very comfortable, and VERY SAFE, depending on where you reside. Inflation post-Covid has been crazy though. I saw your grocery shopping video and those prices 2 years ago would have been nearly cut in half.

Florida has one of the highest inflation and cost of living rates in the nation and the Governor is basically Donald Trump with a law degree. Anti- immigrant, anti-black, anti-progress, pro-gun, etc. But there’s also a lot to do in Florida, which is what keeps people moving there. Same with Texas, except the cost of living is better. But there are dozens more states with better laws, policies, opportunities, etc., that aren’t as glitzy or talked about. Which is why I said choose wisely.

      I think it depends on the city you are in within CA. If you don’t live in LA, SF…most cities in CA are quite affordable. A 5b3bath still goes for about $600k or less in CA big cities. Paying a rent of $600 in US means that the apartment isn’t new, no in apartment washer and dryer, small square footage etc. If you want a great home anywhere in the world, you need money. 🤣😂

    Good points made, you can also have a side hustle in the US and even make more because you only work 3 days/week and one 4-day week in a month. By the way, not all nurses get paid biweekly in the US, depending on your union. As a new grad nurse in NY, I get paid every week and make 6 figures ( over 100k$ with no overtime), then I still have my other side hustle and decide to pick up OT when I feel like it. With security issues, I think you nailed it. Nowhere is totally safe, we also hear about gangs and knife violence in the UK though in the US gun violence is a big thing, and that majorly depends on where you live like you said. Every state/city has its own predominantly safe areas, just know about your zip code. People sometimes look for cheap neighborhoods to live in and complain about crime. what do you expect?? One of my friends recently came in from the UK, had a nice/safe time in every state he visited and on his last two days decided to rent a cheap Airbnb in Newark, NJ because his flight was taking off to the UK from Newark. I picked him up at NY airport, hung out and he told me he rented an Airbnb in Newark. I told him to give me the address and after I looked it up, I straight told him he rented an Airbnb in the hood and should have let me know before doing that. He was like how do I know the area is not a good area. Long story short, I went to drop him off there that night. The next building's neighbors were all smoking weed heavily outside lol. I took him to the grocery to get all he needed and told him to just stay indoors all night till the next morning he was going to the airport. The next morning he called me screaming there were gunshots fired on his street and cops were everywhere with the roads blocked on his way to the airport, He was like I am traumatized and I just want to get back to the UK then I was like I told you.

    It also depends on which state you live in . Some states are expensive , cost of living is high compared to others .
    The wage rate is also determined by cost of living in each state. California, New York are among expensive states compared to Texas and Arizona which are relatively cheaper . However , i believe that it depends on what one really wants , their priorities … and after weighing the pros & cons of both countries then make a decision that works for an individual and his or her family . Thanks again Nanelle for the great insight .

    This issue; in as much as I believe some of your arguments (like waiting for your British passport if you’re near), I don’t think it’s entirely exaggerated on their part (those in America).
    If I don’t have to work extra but will still feel comfortable, I don’t see the point in living somewhere that I have to work extra (agency) to feel comfortable. And the free healthcare the Uk keep talking about isn’t actually free when you think about it.
    I will say stay where you think will make you happy/comfortable cos the truth is, it’s actually never greener on the other side but it’s all about what you do with the opportunities you get in your current situation.

    A statistic on U.S. gun violence: 11.9 people per 100,00 die of gun violence in the U.S. every year. That stat includes a higher rate of suicide by gun than homicide. In a country of 335,000,000 people, the average person will never come anywhere near the risk of violence by gun. Still a terrible problem by the world's standards, but when you hear of a mass shooting in Texas and you live in Oregon, that's like hearing about a mass shooting in the U.K. and it occurred in Poland. The country is that big. There are rougher neighborhoods in every city, but the average person lives, works, exists, etc. in huge states, huge cities and while you might hear about a crime, you are nowhere near it and just living in your peaceful neighborhood. Just some perspective, because true, the news makes it seem like everyone is dodging bullets 24/7, and that it not the case.

    The thing about crime & violence in the US is that it can happen at anytime & in any public place when you least expect. There's a very large amount of mentally unstable people coupled with loose gunlaws (especially in the south). Being a black person especially if you're a young black man you are more likely to be faced with violence either by police or other people. If you talk to black Americans they will tell you everything you need to know & about how when children get to a certain age they have a talk with them so they can lessen the chances of getting racially profiled by police or potentially caught up in very bad situations they weren't the cause of. I've been racially profilled & harrassed by police a number of times & had many bad experiences growing up in the US that probably shaped my view on the country & it's systems. My family's from Jamaica one of the top 5 most murderous countries & most of my relatives there have never seen or heard a gunshot before but that doesn't mean it isn't a serious thing that's widespread. In the US you're not likely to come into contact with crime & violence but it's happening all over & you are far more likely to have something happen to you than in the UK or anywhere in Europe
