    Makes 100k+ euro in Europe is not "being poor" Despite the reductiveness of your argument there are things people value more than just buying a big house. The quality of life you get In Europe is superior in my opinion to the one in America. The way cities are laid out and the pervasiveness of public transit allows for a better social life. I could go on and on but if you're going to be on this forum and engage with others you should adjust your attitude.
