The grass is always greener. You're (theoretically) making more money than them and most likely have a more flexible schedule. They're also tied to location. You can get bored of Costa Rica and move tomorrow if you want.
There's nothing to be jealous of. You can start a surf shop if you think they have it better than you.
- patrickbolle 9y agoFor sure! I totally agree with that. I love my current position in life because of that flexibility and freedom, just the work is so-so :)
- Arizhel 9y agoThat doesn't seem quite right to me. You might be making more money in USD, but their cost of living is likely far lower. The cost of real estate and rent in major American metro areas is insane these days, and that's where all those high-paying software jobs are located. Even in many of the not-so-major areas, the rents have gotten really high. So sure, you might be making a lot, but it's all going to some landlord, or getting tied up in a house that could very well lose much of its value if the market crashes again like it did in 2008.
