Not really. It's just Americans are programmed to always buy more shit they don't need and always be in debt. America has also some of the most entitled bitches out there, so a further drain on your resources. I think if you invest a couple of years into learning a trade or a profession you can easily make 80-100k a year, and defo get by living off 2 grand a month easy. I have buddies that make double that doing scaffolding. And if you want to settle down, get yourself a third world woman who will be happy to cook for you and take care of you.
