Where Would I Live ?

    Ifitweremyhome.com is a website that shows you what it would be like if you were born in a different country. It was our task to choose a country and compare their life to that of a US citizen.

    My first choice of country was Angola, mainly because it sounds like my name. By what I have seen so far Angola is NOT looking very bright. If I were to live in Angola I would earn 88.07% less money. The GDP in Angola is $6,300 whereas the GPD in America is $52,800. I would rather live in a world where I get more money. I would probably die sooner also. The life expectancy in Angola is 55.29. If this were the life expectancy in America I would be terrified because I would lose a LOT of people who I care about. I think the scariest part is I would be 2.8 times more likely to die by murder. I think that is so crazy knowing how many people are already dying in the US.

    Now, onto my second topic. I have chosen Monaco, because that’s where all of the rich people go. In contrast to Angola, Monaco is looking bright. In Monaco I will most likely have a job because Monaco have an unemployment rate of 2% whereas the US has an unemployment rate of 7.30. I would also make a lot more money. Monaco’s GDP is $85,500 while America’s GDP is $52,800.And best of all, you would live 10 years longer! Who doesn’t want to live longer? There’s less of a scare that you have to say goodbye to your loved ones so quickly! So far Monaco is definitely winning.

    Finally I looked at Madagascar. I only chose Madagascar because I enjoyed the movie, but that’s beside the point. There are three possibly positive and negative things to keep in mind. 99.8% less money on health care, which make you think if they actually had healthcare. 99.61% less electricity, which personally scares me because I don’t think I could live without my phone. And finally 98.65% less oil. This is great because you won’t be one of the world leading polluters but that also means less cars and more walking *cringes on the inside*.

    If you had to go anywhere in the world DEFINIETLY GO TO MONACO.
