Totally false in most places in the world. Totally true in the U.S.
- gozur88 11y agoI don't know how much it's true in other countries, but in the US it's pretty common to see people trap themselves in debt. You see a lot of people with six figure incomes living paycheck to paycheck. They can't afford to take less money because they've already spent it.
- hellofunk 11y agoThe U.S. is full of all kinds of behavior that is uniquely American. I was amazed how different the U.S. actually is when I left it several years ago to live and work in other nations. the U.S. has a lot it could learn from other places. I definitely think Americans are on average unhappier than the citizens of other Western nations, for a wide range of reasons.
