That's true for anywhere in the world. How much do you think you will save in Pakistan lets say every month if you bought a house and paying mortgage? Saying that you will simply live in your parents family house doesn't count.

USA hospitals can skin your skin
My father was hospitalized for 4-7 days was billed almost $40,000 (ICU bill)
(None corona related 6-7 years ago)

People who travel to USA must always take travel insurance or any kind of insurance for emergency

While the system did great to help in case of emergency but the bill was quite a problem after

Health care is generally very expensive in USA

Maybe not rent, but if you buy a 2 bedroom apartment, and you have a good software developer position, you could very easily see 50% of your salary going towards Mortgage.
