As someone who immigrated to the US, the US has a standard of living that is "different" than it is in the EU. It's not better or worse than the EU, just different. It's not big stuff but rather a combination of a bunch of small stuff. - Houses are typically older, smaller and most scrunched together. This might be normal for someone in Europe but it's jarring for an American who expects a house with a lawn and white picket fence. - The cars are typically smaller, again not something that's objectively better or worse but different. American's are used to big cars and the compact car culture in the EU is also jarring. These are just two examples but it comes down to just about everything. I am not saying the standard of living in the US is better than it is in the EU, it's just different, and that difference is why most Americans will never move to the EU.
