Based on my experience of New Jersey vs Romania, healthcare and consumerism options are the major differences.

For healthcare I'd just plan to go to Poland for serious care. As for consumerism, you can't beat the US for Amazon Prime, craigslist, or ebay (my personal favorite).

The only thing that's cheaper here in Cluj is housing. Food is slightly cheaper depending on category, but many things are more expensive. Including gym memberships.

Yeah you can't beat the US for consumerism. If you love things and have money to burn, it's great. I got into a ton of expensive hobbies and I also use CL/eBay/FB Marketplace to score great deals and pass on good deals to others.

Hard to plan to go to Poland for serious care if you have a life threatening emergency. If Romania figures out its healthcare problem, it could be a serious contender for me to live in, in the future.
