Living in Europe vs. living in USA as an American?

Just came back from my second trip to this continent and both times I've felt like the quality of life is just better there.

This time I was in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary.

First time was England and Italy.

Worth noting that women in Italy particularly, are so beautiful and so much more modest than the sloots here.

The quality of life if you're a simpleton mediocre who aspires to an idyllic lifestyle is better in Europe.

As soon as I learn Czech I'm moving there. I have lots of family there and I was discussing my plans with them.

People just seem happier there.

I'm a simpleton mediocre like that brah said^^ so it's enough for me.

Pretty much this,

My uncles and aunt came to visit us a few weeks back from Italy, and for Italian standards they live in the upper class, drive nice cars have a few homes.

But they said the way we live is on another level, they would say you guys just have so many more commodities that would cost so much in Italy, like central AC and Heat, washer and dryers, and things we don't even consider rich having.

If you want to make LOTS of money and live like a king there is no other place like the USA to do it.

Yep. I did a semester abroad near Rome. The university wasn't allowed to fully heat the building at night. Italy isn't third world but it's far below the standard of living in the US.

And that was in ROME.

Now think how it is when you leave the rich cities and go to the little towns through out Italy?

My family lives in a small seaside town in the south and when I visit I swear I feel like I go back in time 50 years LMAO, but I guess they're use to it.

The average Italian is living MUCH better than the average american.

even look at the crimes rates, life expectancy.

That's because more Americans eat terrible diets. If you don't do that, it won't be a problem. But being poor compared to Americans is something Italians can't get away from.

This pretty much wraps it up.

I'm getting married to a girl w/ an EU Passport so the option of living anywhere in EU/US is there once that happens.

However, tech salaries in the US blow Europe out of the water and my fiancee makes way more here.

We are going to live here, make $$$ then leave.

It's our lifestyle. Italian's might work 30 hours a week and have better diets because there isn't fast food at ever corner. No wonder they live longer.

Americans live a way more stressful life because that's how are society is for better or worst.

Europe is better if you’re a 50 percentile average white person, U.S. much better if you’re 20 percentile+.
