I suggest you go and get some quotes for the cost of shipping your dog over, that alone may be enough to put you off.

Not a fair question to ask me as we are a family of 4.
But most everything is $$$$$ here
housing
car
groceries
eating out
clothes
entertainment

we spend 9000 a month on 2 cars. so please you cant compare my lifestyle to what you would have to live here.

You can certainly survive with it. But if you're into drinking, that can get pretty expensive here.

If you have your heart set on coming here, then do it. But know before hand that you will spend every fils you earned here and won't be taking any of it back with you. If you're OK with that, go for it.

to add to the discussion - nobody seems to have mentioned that if you rent that they will need rent up front for a year. And that if it goes pear shape and you have your dog with you it will be very expensive to bring your dog back to the UK because of quarantine.
