I live in a country where the average salary is half that of the US, with electricity two times as expensive and fuel almost three times as expensive compared to the US

ok now do housing

Ok, I guess, even though you're the one making the claim lol

Housing in Italy is projected to cost $1,070 per month on average, for a total of $1,970 per month on average for overall cost of living.

For some reason that site doesn't have figures for all of the USA, but on average, costs are higher in the USA both for housing and overall cost of living.

I asked for yours, not ours. I know ours. Btw you just cited a monthly cost of living that's higher than the average monthly salary.
