Let's talk about the cost of living in Seattle,Washington .In this video I cover everything from my rent, utility bills,groceries,Internet,phone bill, car insurance ,personal expenses etc.The cost of living in USA varies depending on the city and region.Generally,the cost of living is higher in big cities such as New York,Los Angeles as compared to smaller towns and rural areas.I was prowl for this kind of information before moving to Washington and I hope someone out there finds this video helpful.

I have always thought outside the box, lived and traveled around the world! I left the U.S. nine years ago, moved and bought a beachfront home in Costa Rica.🏖 I wanted to move to a peaceful, tranquil, and more freedoms country. All of my monthly utility bills are approximately $200.00. My annual property tax is only $450.00. My annual car insurance and road tax is only $45.00! There is no accumulating wealth in the U.S., between Federal, State, Local taxes, inflation, bills and fees.

Wow😯, am surprised by the difference…$45?for annual car insurance.Costa Rica must be tranquil…and less pressure.9yrs later your thought process must be that USA is so chaotic and so much pressure.Taxes be so high here especially with Federal & local. I must admit I wasn’t fully prepared for this

@AbroadEyewithJenny 7 ай бұрын

Absolutely, so many factors come into play including the side of town you live. I would say Seattle is definitely one of those cities with higher cost of living.

As a tech hub, wages are generally on the higher side, just that not everyone gets paid tech type wages so some people definitely feel the pinch of high cost of living

Just a minute dear....You tend to 'say and think' that you are a minimalist, something that your friends and family would disagree with. Which would you rather have me (and others too, I presume) believe? Your opinion or your family and friends? From Nairobi with love.... Great video for monthly cost estimate

@AbroadEyewithJenny 7 ай бұрын

I am a minimalist for sure but I work so hard for the good things in life and plan around it…(I bet when you grow up inthe countryside you are programmed differently)I oftenly say I wanna give myself the best life has to offer and that’s why my friends/family would partly disagree. Either way I gave that disclaimer so that someone doesn’t assume that maybe the cost of living is higher because of my standards of living.And thankyou John for the love all the way from Nairobi ❤️

@@AbroadEyewithJenny minimalist or not I respect people's lifestyles and views even if they might differ from mine... Either way it's life we think differently.

@@AbroadEyewithJenny thank you,after this I will also ask you about filling in of DS-260 form,most especially on the part of dates,coz on the dv lottery form,one is guided to begin with month,date and then year,does the same apply on DS form or we just use the Kenyan style of date,month then year...The DS form doesn't provide a guide.

What about state tax,federal tax and local

@AbroadEyewithJenny 7 ай бұрын

Taxes are imposed by your employer meaning when you get your salary they have already deducted taxes.There are certain states that don’t impose State taxes on your salary but instead they include it in the price of products and commodities inform of a sales tax.For example in Washington we don’t pay state income tax instead we pay Federal income tax
