Laugh away- but who is better off? I had many discussions with the Ivan’s I trained while in Moscow.

US citizen: House mortgaged for 30 years, two car payments for four years, boat payments for five years, huge health insurance payments, massive Credit card debt, Federal, State, Local taxes…… OR……

Russian citizen: Apartment/ home paid for, car paid for, a nice Dacha in the country paid for, free / low cost medical plans with doctors that still do house calls, extremely low food costs, a flat 15 percent tax which the employer deducts, government pension paid out after 20-25 years of work…….

To each his own, but every Ivan I knew were debt free.
