Europäer sind laut dem Chef des norwegischen Ölfonds "weniger fleißig" als Amerikaner.
I'm poor, even very poor (less than 20k euro a year for two people) for northern europe standards, but ...I have managed two months off work during winter for the last 25 years, yes, I love the warm sunlight! We also take one week here and there for our breaks in europe:
When I need medical assistance, I have to spit up nothing or very little for it.
On the other hand I have no house (rented apartment), kids (chacun son chat) or a car: When really needed I rent one.
Of course I can´t frequent or buy the things you might do, but I can tell you I enjoy every bit of my coffees, chocolates, cheeses, pastas, things that an average US person does not know exists.
Kind regards from communist europe.
