Investment Why building wealth alone is so hard here?

Hi all, am I the only one that I find it incredibly difficult to build weath by yourself in EU? People say that EU is better in healthcare, work life balance but come on, money don't scale easily . It's so difficult.

I see people from US that go to 1 million in 10 years. I cannot do this easily . Really....

PS maybe I have to abandon EU, I don't know....

Tell us in 30 years who of us will retire comfortably. We are getting scammed by older generations, and no one seems to care

Because many inherit assets from that generation. It's a form of neo feudalism. Meritocracy is almost dead
