Do people actually think this? Which Europeans are you talking about? Make sure you're not picking a small subset of them while ignoring countries like Greece and Portugal that are poorer than Mississippi.

Maybe the takeaway is that tax rates have marginal impact since the US appears to be happier than most European countries including major ones like France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Nah I haven't. I kind of assumed it wouldn't be too great considering it's Central American and most of those places seem pretty third world. Is it not at all like that there? Only thing about Costa Rica I really know is giant banana spiders.

I have been. The standard of living did not seem that high to me
Well high compared to who? It's probably better than the countries around it like Panama or Nicaragua

It more sounds like he chooses to. There's no reason to spend 25-30% of your monthly income on rent if you don't have to.

Owning your own home isn't as widespread in Germany as in the US. Rental law is much more balanced, maybe even in favour of the tenant, as compared to the US.

That's not to say the USA is shit, but just the crime rate alone and police brutality is enough for me to say "nope".

Granted, but that doesn't justify the other dude's blanket generalization. Cherry-picking Germany out of a Europe that also contains, say, Serbia is like cherry-picking Beverly Hills to say that the quality of life in Los Angeles is better than in New York.


True, not everywhere in Europe is nice. But those have to do with poorly ran governments in those low tier countries.

No matter if you're in Compton or Austin, it's all the US.

He spends half of what the average American does on healthcare, has a far better social safety net and enough income left over to put waaaay more into savings than Americans do.

What's the problem here?

saving more than 10 bucks a month makes you better than 75% of americans.

Europeans? Are you fucking kidding me?

Can we not pretend like every country in Europe has the same standard of living? Some are way better off than others.
