since you mentioned Serbia as an example...
>expensive rent
yup. not by American standards, but our wages are NOWHERE NEAR American standards.
>expensive food
you got it.
>can't afford a home
mhm
>can't afford an apartment
most people can't even dream to own apartments, let alone houses, in the big cities over here
>can't afford to save money
you can save some if you live in a cheap apartment AND have a good wage (that combination is fairly rare)
>can't afford to have insurance
desu we have public healthcare here so it's not as terrible as it is in America, as most menial shit is handled by public health centers and hospitals; however you're typically fucked if you need a surgery and can't cash out $5k+ on a whim
>can't afford to copy video games online
okay at least our piracy laws are a meme so it's cool
>invaders get to have your free shit
Serbia has the beginnings of the jeet problem; other than that it's ok. invaders don't get to have our free shit since we don't have any free shit in the first place
it's not that good here, really
the upside is a decently homogenous white society, though we're post-communist so that's not fantastic either.
I live very well since I got a programming job at a multinational in the AI bubble, but that's quite volatile for obvious reasons; your average dude really isn't having a great time here.
