Speaking as another European who has always been put off by the usual American conditions, money is not a very big concern to me beyond my (admittedly quite frugal) standard of living. Time is a far, far, far more important resource, and working in the USA seems to include insane hours and constant overtime and few vacations.
Also, I think you don't need that much money in Europe, thanks to things like socialized healthcare.
- sudomal 13y agoAgreed. As you get older too, you start to appreciate how much time is burned by working. It's good to work, just it shouldn't dominate your waking life.
- Pxtl 13y agoYour forgot to include nightmarish commutes in your list of North American time-vampires.
- _random_ 13y agoAlso food companies are allowed to do way more dodgy stuff in USA. E.g. M&Ms can't even sell their peanut-butter version in UK because of additives.
