Rent too high? You might wanna change location. Cost of living worldwide🌎🌏🌍

Ever shelled out an arm and a leg for the rent on your tiny apartment, or spent $5 on an iced coffee, and wondered what life could be like elsewhere?

Before you pack your bags in search of greener pastures, take a look at the infographic below, which outlines the cost of living in every country in the world.

The maps were created by Movehub, a company that helps people relocate abroad, who looked at the prices of groceries, transportation, restaurants, utilities, and rent in 121 countries using figures from the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

While people in San Francisco and New York City like to complain about their sky high rents, the US as a whole is actually rather affordable. Bermuda takes the number one spot as the world's most expensive country, closely followed by Switzerland. Hong Kong and Iceland are no picnic either.

On the other side of the spectrum, Egypt is now the country with the lowest cost of living, moving up six places in two years. India, Pakistan, and Nepal are hot on its heels.

See how your country fares, below:

Why Do We Always Screw Up When Someone’s Watching?

Source: OMGfacts Julian Larach Follow Writer @Dose and @OMGFacts. Here to help you procrastinate. Instagram: Julian_Larach Aug 11 Raise your hand if you’ve totally forgotten how to type when your boss is watching. Some nights I have trouble falling asleep because of the embarrassment I still feel after a horrific incident that landed me a shameful black eye. I attended a junior Olympic diving competition in Montréal as a teenager. It wasn’t until I got up on the platform that I began to panic. Everyone was watching me. The onlookers were divers from around the world who were destined to be olympians, world champs, or, I don’t know, future Instagram celebs. As many times as I had drilled the hell out of this dive during practice, somehow, I managed to drop the ball in front of the wrong crowd. Let’s just say that “belly-flop” is a sugar coated version of what happened. But basically, my muscle memory vanished. I landed flat on my stomach and was gifted with a mortifying...

Flat Earther Goes One on One With An Astronaut

Of all the conspiracy theories that have surfaced in our history, the Flat Earth Theory is certainly one of the more controversial and heavily discussed. Having had countless of individuals step up to try and disprove astronauts and scientists alike, it never fails to amuse and surprise us when it occurs. One of the more alarming approaches is when a Flat Earther argues with an astronaut on TV, and it’s hard to watch. Daily Mirror Mark Sargent of Seattle has been a conspiracy theorist who’s had quite the following with Flat Earthers. This theory has been getting a lot of traction as of late with people trying to disprove what we as humans have proved and believed for centuries.
