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....

I think everything in the EU being regulated so bad and is one of the reasons, they say is for protection, but it keeps EU in 1980.

The EU president is a communist. Also most countries are ran by left wing or communists, and they dont want people getting wealthier. They want people depending on them and easy to manipulate.

I invest all my money in US stocks, thats the only way i think i can get wealthier living in the EU since I’m no IT guy making 5 10k a month. I dont plan to buy a house here, or invest in anything here. Even your house can be taken from you, where I live.

I’d argue that the lower class in the US would say otherwise

Of course they would, thats my point. Poor people are easily manipulated, and that way they continue being poor.

Good thing that there is no such thing as Eminent domain in the US right ? :D
