If you are ambitious and want to work hard and build and solve problems, it's just a way better reality. That optimistic outlook, and the idea that you can do it, is so freeing and fun if you like to build and solve problems.

I felt the burden of accumulated rules and scarcity mindset back in Europe. And if you want to build a company you feel the push down at every layer. You feel it from family, friends, clients, co-founders, the government, etc. I cannot see myself coming back and living there.

People are different and countries are different, so you can experience a glimpse of abundance mentality in Europe too at different levels, but very very far from the way you experience it in the US. They have tons of problems too, but if you solve problems at scale you make the money to solve most of those problems.
