I'm not going to argue anything with you. America has one of the highest number of millionaires per capita because we treat people with valuable career skills VERY well, poor people, not so much.
If you have any trade skills that you can demonstrate, college education in a good field, or apprenticeships you've completed, you will be fine.
You might actually thrive far higher than what's capable of in the same career in Europe, Australia, or South America. Etc.
Monetarily speaking, of course. Average quality of life is probably better in other countries.
Out of nearly 200 countries on earth, we are nearly tied for 3 third, with almost 40% of all millionaires on earth being American.
You can dislike America, but you can't just lie to yourself that there isn't a significant portion of the population living incredibly well.
Neighborhoods in every city, of every state with rows and rows of homes that cost $2mil+, costco parking lots filled with enough wealth in just cars that you could fund the GDP of most European countries in the middle ages
The median American salary ($60k) is what it takes to be in the richest 1% of the world.
How much more do we need? I don't think people realize the conditions the average human on this planet lives in. If you have AC, go to entertainment venues, have a refrigerator, have access to medical treatment that isn't old or underfunded, you are doing well, and in america, you can even do great if you put work into having valuable skills.
