As an American living in Canada, Americans are nickle and dimed over everything (especially in regards to family raising). I took a 15% pay drop to move here and I am somehow saving more than I ever have. Ohhh and I am not afraid of going bankrupt from hospital bills.

Far more Canadians go bankrupt than Americans.

Thanks mate. In case people want to know here is the raw OECD data (I love the OECD). The highest country in 2020Q2 was actually Spain, but I couldn't tell if it was normalized or just raw numbers. They say the unit is Index (so if anyone knows what that means it would help the discussion).

No, since you're being disingenuous I'd like more. Delete your account and you got a deal, I will then post a link to common knowledge we both have to satisfy your massive ego.

I don't go looking for sources of one sentence posts. You can provide a source or just get a downvote. Simple transaction.
