Yes, having worked in the USA for a while, there is certainly the potential for a much higher standard of living there; the problem is that you don't get the chance to enjoy it! When I tell my American friends that it's normal in the UK (and the rest of Europe) to get 6 or 7 weeks a year off work, they find it amazing; it's entirely normal in the US to get as little as two weeks holiday a year.
