How is living in Germany compared to living here in the United States?

Jamaicans! Do you enjoy living in Jamaica? or would you rather live in the United States?

  • This question is for anyone who is currently residing in Jamaica! Do you enjoy living in Jamaica?or would you rather live abroad in the US?I would love to live in Jamaica! my boyfriend lives there! Most people think I am crazy and tell me the economy there is very difficult! I understand that,but the economy in the United States is not so hot either! I figure I may as well live where it is peaceful and the water is turqouise,not black like in New York! There is a lot of stress here,and the winters are freezing!I am in the medical field.Any one agree or disagree? What are your viewpoints regarding living in Jamaica.versus living in the US?I am curious as to what some of you think.Thanks!

    I think it all depends on how you live in Jamaica. What I mean by this is, if you live in a poorer area, and your struggles are greater economically and socially then you would be dying to get away. If you live in an area in Jamaica where you are not exposed to the poverty that plagues poorer areas, plus you have ALL the luxuries that one may have in the states, then why would you leave Jamaica? I love Jamaica and live(d) a great live in Jamaica and would never fore-sake Jamaica. I travel back and forth between Jamaica and Miami and think that living in the states is harder than living in Jamaica. In the states most people can't afford and dont have helpers but, in Jamaica its common. In the states most kids have to come home and lock up inside til all 6pm when their parents come home. Personally I think we live way better in Jamaica than here, we have pople washing and cooking for us, whereas here we are struggling to stay afloat. Lets be real most Jamaicans come to the states fi drink milk not to turn inna cow!!!!!!

I was born and raised and still living in Jamaica and I have travelled to the U.S. but Jamaica is where I want to be. People say Jamaica is poor but that is somewhat of a misconception, just like like anywhere else in the world you have good places and you have ghettos. Don't listen to people, come and try it out for yourself. I LOVE Jamaica.

Living in Jamaica has its advantages.This is especially so if you already have a bit of money or decent job. For me, i wouldn't even CONSIDER living as far north as New York. Its just too cold. It would be a choice between Florida and Jamaica. The BIGGEST advantage with Jamaica is social loopholes. Things happen in Jamaica on a daily basis that would land you in prison or with a citation or a ticket in the US. You don't have to worry as much about the IRS auditing you, since there is much less precision in our tax system. Living on the USA also has its advantages: higher education, income levels, some medical services. To me, it all depends on where you are in life and what you value most.

I have never really lived anywhere else but it is on my agenda to live somewhere else for at least 2 years before I reach 25. I don't have much time left! I like Jamaica so far but I am sure I could manage somewhere else. All my immediate family is here so I do not think I would be able to call another place home.

Jamaica and the United States has it's advantages and disadvantages. No where is perfect. It depends on where you are in life and what you value. I am Mandeville one of the quieter cities which is also pretty developed. I love it there. As most people already mentioned that it's even better when you have some money that can afford you a better standard of living.

Yes! No, I wouldn't rather live in the States. I love my country, there's no place like home, really. And as the persone above me said, living somewhere else would just not be the same
