Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In the Czech Republic, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 18 404 a year, less than the OECD average of USD 25 908 a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn nearly four times as much as the bottom 20%.

Cost of living is relative to the place you live.
Americans like to complain a lot -- I always get that shit when I go to Europe ... That said, there is a lot more income disparity in the USA.
People come from all over the world to use our medical facilities that are so overpriced too -- what is up with that? This is not to say that there are not US medical tourists in India using better class private hospitals ( getting kidney surgery done fast ;0) ). I have heard things said about good Mexican dentists that work for reasonable prices. I just had my teeth cleaned (only) yesterday $130.00.
