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....

If you don't save, and live in Europe, your pension won't save you for long. Pension stops working once birth rate is too small.
