Japan is the 1st most expensive country to live in in the world, the USA is the 13th most expensive country to live in in the world, while the UK is the 16th most expensive country to live in in the world, I forgot where I got those but I've copied them in a word document .
Again, it's impossible to look at a country as a whole. The massive difference in cost of living between urban and rural locations is far greater than the differences between countries. Urban UK is far more expensive than rural US or Japan, urban US is far more expensive than rural UK or Japan, and urban Japan is far more expensive than rural US or UK.
