As someone who lives in Europe, I would say: Not _*that_* hard. You have to keep in mind that the prices of consumer goods are a lot lower here than they are in the US. I stayed in Chicago for nine months last year, so I do have a comparison. But then again, I'm German, and Germany isn't in every sense representative for all of Europe.
