Europeans ‘less hard-working’ than Americans, says Norway oil fund boss
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.

Actually the US ranked 15th in happiness globally ahead of the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy etc. It is great people in Finland are happy but they aren’t a great comparison to a wildly diverse country of 342m people and their suicide rate is super high. This is cope.
That is a really creative interpretation of data. Americans aren’t actually happy, they must be lying to themselves! LOL. What is your excuse for the other countries? I have never hear of Spanish & Italian people being told they are supposed to be unhappy.
No matter how you look at it Americans are quite happy and among the happiest people in the world. Your response is illogical cope.
It says you're from Kansas. So I've got to ask, European – if you're so poor, how'd you finance a vacation to Kansas? And why Kansas?
