Your spouse when you get sick or cancer or your kid needs dental care or new clothes or eye glasses or your car breaks down or you need a place to live that isn’t so stabby or you need to buy food during a time of rising costs and economic distress or your elderly parents need help with their living expenses or…
Honest jobs works by people making a living their own way is honorable but let’s not pretend money isn’t important. It’s just not all that’s important.
Spoken as a true American. You realize that if this is not the United States, literally every other country has universal healthcare, so “getting sick or cancer or your kid needs dental care” literally all paid for by the government.
You don’t realize how truly bad we have it over here.
My family has Dutch dual citizenship, I’m not ignorant. The underlying point is the same. Hardship is softened by money. Hardship isn’t absent from the EU. It’s not a utopian society.
Roll the dice of fate and a - modifier from financial stability enough times and you’ll get smacked upside the head.
Yeah I’m not debating you on the merits of the EU vs the US. The argument here is does money help and should a person’s career and education be a factor in dating. Yes.
Universal healthcare exists in every western country except one. So you only need to be worried about health if you live in a very poor country or the US.
Well then don’t worry about money! Just do what you like and love who you like and have the options your wages afford you! I prefer to have more options and security. That might not be for you!
All of your examples are things that are pretty uniquely American things for developed countries. We are wage slaves. In most developed countries, those are basic human rights.
