To counter your anecdote with mine, I’m always shocked whenever I return to visit the US how expensive basic things like groceries and rent are. Much more so than the Netherlands.

This is complicated, and it’s insufficient just to state that everything in Europe is generally more expensive than in the US.

All these anecdotes are kind of silly. The US is only a bit smaller than the entirety of Europe, and our states have economies as large as entire countries. The price of groceries and rent are going to be radically different in The Netherlands vs. Spain, for example.
