What is it like to live in the United States? Describe it on 50 words... btw I am from Romania...

It depends on how much money you make.

Explanation: The United States is a diverse country. Americans by and large are workaholics, and for all that we have a reputation for being lazy, nowhere else is leisure and idleness less valued as a legitimate way to spend one’s time as in the US.

Due in part to its location, the US is safe from foreign invasion. Canada is an agreeable neighbor, and some of us even contemplate converting to Canadianism on a daily basis.

What they don't tell you about the US is that there is a yawning economic gap, and while the wealthy become unfathomably wealthier, the standard of living for everyone else is plummeting fast, to the point that it's actually disgraceful. We are the richest country in the world, and yet we have one of the highest rates of child poverty in the developed world. There is no excuse for that.
