So salaries are roughly 25% higher.

If Mike's estimate is accurate then you are paying twice the UK price for chocolate chip cookies, thus overpaying by 25%
What do punters have to pony up to rent ?.or buy? Is it affordable? Here it's out of control. Rents expensive, property's expensive. You're kinda fucked if you are a slave to a mortgage here. Which I am not. Infact I've owned my " shoebox " outright for the last 20 years. 15 of those years it was rented out while the exploration strategy called me to distant and sometimes bumfuck locations. Blds ma didn't raise no meatheads.
Gotta say though. Those choc chip cookies from costco are the ducks nuts. Gonna hide some before the kids get em all
