Chea .. tax is going up ALL the time in Canada ga la.. ( western )

Income tax, property tax, whatever tax ..

Soon ..  need to move to US ga la...

EL, you are so lucky to live in US!!

Catpiano

That is good and make sense to me ..  just like HK ..  or US .. everything is cheaper (not house in HK) and less tax, then you pay your own medi ..

Paying ~ $1k plus on stupid health care here anyway ..  so .. for last 20 yr .. easy .. spent $20K or 30K on health care, do I get $30K worth of medicare back ? no ..  what did I get? stupid LONG LONG LONG wait time when sick .....  so .. with doctor = no doctor, still need to pay for medicine anyway ...

At the end of the day? I pay and see Doctor in Hong Kong ...  but money to health care still flush to toilet and to those homeless people.

Anyway .. income tax going up ..  doesn't affect those rich asian in Vancouver anyway ..  they are damn rich .. but LOW income ... lol

Catpiano

That is quite ideal life EL!

Parents in Van ..  you can go visit them all the time, and have "GOOD" food .. ( Food in Seattle isn't bad) and living in Seattle, when you go travel, no matter within US, Europe, Asian, lower cost to fly ...  

I like Seattle, go there shopping few time a year .. ^_^

Catpiano

Right, it's all about saving in the US.  Otherwise there's no reason to work here.

    Good .. I wish the rest of 98.6% American think that way ...

Catpiano

Just talk to few friends of mine in HK ..  their companies cover their medi care wor ..  

I guess depends where la.. and some lower cost alternative ga ma ..

I know delivering a baby in HK from PRIVATE hosp is $50K plus ..  and most people I know, they go that way too .. just that they have CHOICE ... and peace of mind to pay for better service .. here, pretty much no choice ....  and say even with 2 kids ..  $100K HKD, that is $13K cad ... it is easy .. to pay $13K tax here in 2-3 month ...

Anyway ... as rick rick said .. 針無兩頭利 .. just that when I see people complain in HK or US ..  they don't know how lucky and good they are!!

Well, some good thing in here gei .. such as we can play SNOWMAN 11month in a yr ..
