There's a European upper middle-class cope which basically says "yes, America might look richer, but there's no work-life balance, culture, or accessible healthcare." What I've learnt moving here is that, no, for genuinely comparable professionals, America is just much richer.

@MrRBourne It's richer and there is no work-life balance and there is culture if you live in one or two places maybe. The healthcare thing is really not an issue unless you're <50 percentile and even then it's way overblown.
@mdjcole @MrRBourne Seems a strange way to dismiss an issue to say it only affects half the population.
I didn't dismiss the issue, I dismissed the self-proclaimed concerns of upper middle class Europeans that it would affect them.
