Will I save money living in Inverness?

"The cost of living in Inverness can be lower than in many parts of the United States, especially when compared to major cities like New York or San Francisco. Housing tends to be more affordable in Inverness, and public transportation is widely available, potentially reducing the need for a personal vehicle. However, some goods and services, such as dining out or groceries, may be more expensive in Scotland due to higher value-added tax (VAT). Additionally, the cost of healthcare in Scotland is generally lower due to the National Health Service, which provides free healthcare at the point of use. However, the overall savings would depend on your lifestyle, income, and spending habits," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Inverness, Scotland.
