And if you read the comments here, you'd think the subjective quality of life in the US is lower than in Europe.

I think it really depends on what you appreciate in your life.

Europe is better for a stroll down to the pub to grab a pint with friends and then going to a museum .

America is better for using some snow-mobiles with friends and driving around in a fancy car.

As an American, there's some things that I just couldn't do in Europe: I'm making my own aluminum plane and learning to fly it. That's basically impossible in Europe.
