She says the costs in Germany are straightforward and transparent.
She says food prices at Whole Foods are SCARY.
She says going to a dermatologist was going to be $200 just for a consultation. Then she said they would refer her to a plastic surgeon AFTER the consultation.
She says Apartment rental cost is SCARY.
The only cost she says is not SCARY in the US is gasoline prices.

Yep, but Keep in mind that the Salary in Germany is pretty mediocre. Only half of American salary because Germany charge lots of taxes (43%) if you make up to $50,000 a year and 50k a year is considered high earner in Germany like doctor, banker, scientist, etc. If you want to be a millionaire, don't move to Germany. Their Bureaucracy is also sh*t compared to U.S. U.S bureaucracy is alright as long as you are persistent....

But you do you want all the added bullshit that comes with hectic life in America? And all the crazy people in America?
I'm sure Germany has tons of things better than America. Healthcare, education, quality of life, more free time, less stress.

I 100% agree on that. America is a soul sucking hellhole. I am just saying, Germany isn't all sunshine and Rainbows. Buyers Beware.
To your chagrin, Germany also has been a good "Vassal state" to America since the end of World War 2 and has been "Dick riding" America because America has military bases in Germany for several decades. I am just saying. Germany is still cool I guess because of legalized p4p and their brothels.
