Food in other countries is so much better and cheaper. We stayed in Mexico for a few months (not saying I want to live there) and food was all organic and dollars. A bag of about 15 avocados cost $1-$2 dollars. In the US that will buy you maybe one avocado.

Dozen eggs = $5-$8 Bag of apples = $5

We have some food allergies such as sensitive to gluten (wife is celiac).

Two things broken in US (that are pain points for us now) - food cost and healthcare. I pay about $800 month for healthcare that is essentially a safety net for an accident ($5K deductible). I am not sure why universal healthcare is not viewed the same as public schools. Many people dont have children but still pay taxes for schools and education. I would probably pay less than $800/month in extra taxes for healthcare.

A dozen of eggs for $5-8 is shockingly expensive. That’s like £3 at the absolute limit in the UK. And they would be some primo organic shit.
