Moving to canada from usa- salary pays and living expense

[life2010]

Hi
I will belong from usa to canada. Usa is known for low expenses and low taxes while Canada has high living expenses and taxes.

If I am not wrong, tax is 45 percent and living is twice as expensive than usa.

So when u got a job, did I get twice the salary you were getting in usa? How did ur new offer compared to usa? Are u making money or losing money in canada?

As for salaries, I don't know. I am happy in Canada, no money in the world would make me want to go to the US..

polara - I have highlighted a part of your sentence in bold. I must say I smiled when I read that. I live in the US and I am not the kind to brush off issues (like many people do and choose to continue to live!). Just curious if you had an specific subject in mind when you said that.

P.S.:I am looking to move to Canada.
