It seems to me that this is becoming harder and harder, and consumer debt is pushed harder and harder, people are forced to take on more debt as costs of living increase. No matter how reasonable you are, you need a place to live and food to eat.
- germandiago 3y agoI would really like most of you see how people live in other countries so that you can compare how lucky places like USA or Western Europe are. I lived in Vietnam for almost 12 years. Luckily as an expat. Most people in the world live like people in Vietnam, not like people in USA or Spain. I do not mean we should live in worse conditions. I mean: look at it with perspective because we are a privileged minority.
