How has my life changed?? You asked for a number. 1-10. I'd say at least 9.

My life in my home country was rural. A mini farm, animals, lots of outdoors and family gatherings in our very large home. Many country roads, easy driving, fresh air, and many nature type things to do for free. Breathtaking beauty all around. Small town living, beautiful summers and winter sports.

Since moving to Jordan, my life has been lived inside. I'm not an inside person. I have no animals, no outside, no balconies. We no longer celebrate holidays, no family, and no outings only work. The expenses here are way over budget so we basically do nothing. This is how life has changed, it's not the fault of Jordan, it simply comes down to economics and big city living vs. country. It is what it is, it's not anyone's fault it just has to be accepted gracefully.
