Tami, why are you always trying to compare England with Turkey? Turkey is beautiful a wonderful place. But England is where I was born. The cost of living here is much more than that of Turkey. Maybe we get paid more, but it is relative. I dispute that your cost of living is higher than ours, but I do not have proof. When we come to Turkey every thing is so much cheaper, jeans for instance, you can buy in Turkey for about £20 (but I bet a Turk would pay less) in the UK the same jeans are about £60 or £70 maybe as much as £120.00. You can get a meal for about £7.00 - you can hardly get a McDonalds shitty burger for that here.
It is not a competition you know, we all have our good points and our bad points, and it is accepting those good and bad points that count.
It wasn`t meant to compare England and Turkey. what I`m saying is people immigrate to England and other countries just because these countries are wealthier hence they have more and better job opportunities.
as for the living costs, i think that depends very much on how you want to live. a pair of lewis jeans costs more in Turkey than it does in America although the ones that are sold in Turkey are all produced in Turkey. if you don`t want to pay that amount for jeans you can buy a "brandless" one from a street market too for a very low price, but you can do that in America too. I`m sure that they sell jeans for very low prices at walmarts. That`s the same for all other consumer products you can think of.
you`re saying that you ve got a meal for 7 sterlings in Turkey, but you can do that in America too depending on where you want to eat. There are restaurants in Istanbul which sell just a plate of entries for 100 liras.
I think the only thing that costs significantly less in Turkey is real estates.
