If we just measure currency exchange rates and how much milk a British person can buy, this might be correct. But outside of a few cities on the coasts, housing is still very cheap in the US. By contrast, almost 20 percent of UK residents living in metro - London, a brutally expensive area. I think when you factor in big ticket items like housing costs, Americans are better off on average.
