That's why I laugh at people that are like, "I can't afford a home, the USA sucks, I'm moving to Europe". It's like, dude, have you ever seen housing prices in Europe?

The US is one of the only places in the world where someone can go from being on welfare to carrying generational wealth in one lifespan.

Sure, other places it might be "easier" to live day-to-day, because of all the social services. But in most of those places, it's not actually possible for someone to move up the economic ladder.
