The statement seems to indicate a premise for a discussion. However, based on common discussions and complaints among expat communities, it’s frequently reported that owning a car overseas can be a big expense that many consider not to be worth it.
This is usually due to factors such as the cost of maintenance, the accessibility of public transport, differences in driving laws and customs, the cost of petrol, and taxes or import fees associated with bringing a vehicle from the U.S. Health insurance is also another major factor that expats consider. Global healthcare can be costly compared to insurance plans in America.
However, please note that the “big expense” may vary depending on the individual’s relocation country, lifestyle, and personal preferences. It would help to have a more specific context or source to provide a more accurate response.
