I think you misunderstood my comment. I have been to China and there is no way in hell I'd live there. I was really commenting more on his mentioning all the tech and such which as I travel I find more and more stuff that I think "Why the hell don't we have this?"

Update: 36-year-old American jailed in China for low social credit score.

And besides dining out ($10 really? Wow) those costs are about what you’d expect in the OKC metro.

Closer to $20 counting tip. But not hard to make it $20+, depending on what you order.

You spend $100/month on groceries?

I'm not gonna lie. My "parent of 3" brain read that and thought it was saying $100/wk and STILL thought "Damn! That's pretty good"...

Yeah. I have kept a spreadsheet on my spending since before COVID and Im spending almost $100/month more than I was a year or two ago. At $100/week I would be alright with that.
