This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Assuming you're in the UK:
Your minimum wage is nearly triple ours.
Your median wage is 1.3x Texas'.
You pay less tax than in Texas.
You pay less for healthcare than anywhere in the US.
Your property taxes (council taxes) are lower than Texas.
You have lower interest rates for mortgages than the US.
You have cheaper, more fuel efficient vehicles than the US.
Your car insurance is less than a quarter US car insurance rates.
Your food is literally half the cost of US food.
So yes, your incredibly cheap life with your incredibly high wages makes your housing market much better than ours.
In kindness, perhaps a bulleted list (a * followed by a space on a new line) without the "You" would be more even-toned. ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
