Funny that I live in a ‘poor country’—Brazil.
But to achieve the same quality of life in the U.S. or Europe, I have to work 3x more. I’ve tried this before, so I can attest to it.
I work part-time and I have everything I need, plus a bunch of free time to pursue my own stuff.
I often get invitations to move to Europe but that also means hustle culture: no more free weekends, no more great weather, no more great food, no more large house or apartment for myself.
Is that really poverty after all? After being a U.S. citizen, I came to learn that the 'rich vs poor/first world vs third world' is a derogatory narrative to make peak capitalism look appealing.
