What you are calling extravagant is the norm in some European countries, even if you don't work for Netflix.

Europe is great if you don't have very valuable skills, you are pretty much guaranteed at least a decent quality of life.

The US sucks if you don't have very valuable skills, there aren't many guarantees.

But if you do have valuable skills, it's very hard to make a case for living in Europe. Once you reach the top 30-40% of Americans, you're living like the top 10% of Europeans.

That's why the US has been draining EU tech workers for a few decades now. The value prop from the US is much better if you're a strong player.

But I'm also not supposed to be saying any of this, because like a good little medium 6 figure household, I'm supposed to be wearing the mask of "difficult economic times" so as to appear virtuous and sensitive to others.


I've been buying shoes online from eobuwie.pl for years. I scanned my feet once and that was it.

Maybe a store like that doesn't exist in your country, but it's definitely a thing.
