Do you ever think about what you would be making if you had the same job but live in a different country? I’m in the USA and I’m assuming I’d pay more in taxes and have less take home but the universal health care would be worth it

In most countries you’d be wrong. Universal healthcare sucks in a lot of countries.

All the time since I would love to move abroad. I'm sure my salary would be lower and my taxes likely higher. But I think the quality of life increase would make up for that. The hustle culture we're forced to embrace here isn't as much of a thing in the rest of the world.

I think this all the time. If I made what I make now and lived in Portugal I would be RICH. Everything is so cheap there that I would literally be in a mansion.
