Be prepared to spend 3-5 years building credit and being considered a nobody. Credit is used for EVERYTHING now. Getting an apartment? Credit check. Applying for a job? Credit check. Connecting utilities at your apartment? Credit check. And make sure you make enough money to afford decent healthcare/dental.
My overall opinion so far is that quality of life is actually higher in the UK than it is here. Americans work too hard and don't take enough time off. 10 days/year, 40hr week is standard (I miss the 37.5hr week, 28 days holiday of the UK).
- When you consider hidden expenses in everything in the USA, it's generally more expensive than the UK average.5timuli
