[quote=Anonymous]Spouse was born and raised in Eastern Europe. Our European friends and family visit us for months at a time (we and our kids mostly enjoy it, though sometimes it gets to be a bit much). These people have expressed that they'd love to be here permanently, but also recognize that it's probably too late for them to make a good life in America. You do have to have your nose to the grindstone from a young age, generally speaking, to build a career and wealth. But the rewards can be spectacular. Our European friends have little stability, little savings, no careers to speak of - just float around, from my perspective. I would never take off for months to hang out in a foreign country. But it's their way of life. One could say that's a benefit of that life - not being tied to work - but the difference in our level of financial security is staggering. I would not want to trade places.[/quote]
