And yet in Bulgaria you can live very well with $1000 per month. With $2000 you build enough savings in 30 years to leave well another 30 years without working.

The thing is, the biggest issue is not lack of jobs, it's mobility. If people could really easily move between countries, they could live much better lives. Of course, to do that we need to have many more remote jobs (hopefully this is coming), kill stupid cultural/political barriers (difficult), stop thinking people should remain in a 20km radius from were they were born. Consider that a lot of this welt they talk about is in real estate. The moment you stop paying 50% of your income in rent, you become automatically richer than your parents.
