[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Europeans get significantly more vacation days and have better work life balance. France offers 7 weeks of paid vacation. The average 40-hour-per-week employee in the U.S. is working 400 more hours annually — the equivalent of 10 more weeks — than employees in Germany. But it is very American of you to feel bad for them because they don’t have a McMansion while you take your sad 3 weeks of vacation.[/quote] But an American who earns well can retire way earlier because they don’t rely on a pension system where the age gets pushed further and further back. High earners can retire by their 30’s if they make the right moves and invest aggressively. [/quote]
