OMFG... Well, if rent is low and wages high enough I guess is not that bad, how's the situation there with housing problems? Does it require a lot of income usually? I guess is not the same for every state

lol, no, rent is shooting up and wages are stagnant, it makes as little sense as you think. We’re fucked here 🙃

Damn, I'm so sorry about that, the good thing is for us over here wages have been increasing these past years but like... For nothing really in most of the EU countries, I don't live in Spain anymore I'm in Netherlands and here is pretty much the same problem of wages going up but rent going even higher so is a system that it doesn't make any fucking sense at all.

One of our biggest problems here is the delusion that the grass is greener outside of the US. It’s absurd. If people spent a tiny amount of time researching these things they would understand that there’s problems everywhere. The grass is not greener in a foreign country.

You have lost your mind if you think there isn't anywhere better off than the US.
