I’m saving to buy land and enjoy hobbies I wouldn’t even dream of trying in Europe because I’d be living in a small apartment. Nothing wrong with that, I actually grew up in that sort of life. I’m not your average American… I’m not even American. My salary is modest, not Silicon Valley/Netflix senior numbers, and I don’t live paycheck to paycheck. But the “eh it’s good enough” life of Europe and the country I grew up in is… well, too small for my dreams.
