We may don’t get multi 6-figure jobs, but we also don’t have to pay 5-figures to visit a healthcare place and fear for our lives by being at will employed. And the CoL is probably also way lower in comparison.
In my country the vast majority of people can’t afford to live alone, because housing’s too expensive for a single person. It has always been so, traditionally you lived with your parents until you got married, then with your families’ help you’d get somewhere to live, if you were well off enough they’d help you start a mortgage, etc.
Nowadays families can’t set aside that kind of savings anymore, for the most part, so the help they can provide is severely reduced.
Shit was rough for Millennials, I have no idea how Gen-Z’ers manage, as it seems to be even worse now.
It’s true for software engineering because the salaries in NA are insane due to the insane profits those companies are making. But for the average job, life is better.

I’d rather continue living here than in USA
More money ≠ more purchasing power
Right. The Weimar Republic had their population making substantially more cash than at any point before 1923. They uaed to be able to take wheelbarrows of cash to the grocery store.
Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.
At least in Europe housing is at the moment proportionally to incomes just as bad as in the US.
Totally agree on Health, though.
