Nobody Told You This About Money | #09 🇮🇳 India vs 🇺🇸 USA
Why are Indians moving to the US when it’s so much more expensive?
The answer is earning power.
📌 GDP per person
🇮🇳 ₹2.3L
🇺🇸 ₹72.5L
~31× higher in the US
📌 Cost of living
🇮🇳 Lower housing, food & service costs
🇺🇸 Higher housing, childcare & service costs
📌 Healthcare
🇺🇸 Much higher healthcare spending
🇮🇳 Much lower healthcare costs, but higher out-of-pocket burden
📌 Sanitation
🇮🇳 63%
🇺🇸 97%
So, is the US “better”? Not necessarily.
India = lower costs
USA = higher earning potential
Migration is often less about living cheaply and more about earning more.
