you said, you live in Qatar now.. and you say: "move back to America". It means that you are familiar with both of these countries...don't you know that rent in qatar twice as high at least?...
also, "America" is very big, and cost of living is various place to place.. it make a huge difference whether you live in New York/Los Angeles, or at some remote/forgotten village in Texas...
I think, it’s incorrect to compare these two countries at the first place.. it’s like to ask what is better: sun or moon? Tomato or orange?
