    You really shouldn’t use sites like this for comparison as they’re not really adjusted for average expected living in any certain country.

    They’re for if you took your lifestyle from country A and tried to transplant it in country B.

    A good example is price per square foot for apartments etc. in Japan doesn’t really say anything about how the average living space is also much lower so you shouldn’t try and buy an American suburban house in Japan anyway.
