Yep, if you’re sick and poor, Europe is the better bargain for sure. I think it would be good for the US to have a stronger social safety net, but nevertheless, most things are more affordable in the US (my Internet is $60/month for fast speed as I live in one of the regions with ISP competition).

I would never want to work in the bv US actually ( personal opinion)

“The bv US”? Europe has shorter hours and more vacation, but after factoring in everything else (healthcare, taxes, etc), my salary would be at least 40% lower in even the wealthiest European countries. And as mentioned elsewhere, the cost of living is higher in Europe. I can’t justify it, which is a shame, because I really like European culture and history and would like to live there for a few years.

Most people do it the other way around here.

Some years abroad and then come back.
