Forget the US people ther are only slightly less depressed than the EU
Everything seems so stagnant and the costs of living are rising while the salaries do not increase whatsoever.
What's worse is that due to its economic decline politicians and leaders try to persuade the populace that a lot of things that we enjoy and contribute to our quality of life are now considered luxury or outright sinful. The same kind of rhetoric that is used to sin tax tobacco, alcohol, gambling is now used on things like:
- car ownership - Air Conditioning - Travel - meat and dairy

And most importantly those are places where the roulette is still spinning . You want to be where the roulette is still spinning as opposed to places like US; EU; Japan where it has basically almost stopped.
For example a non small amount of people in Nigeria still become rich because of a clerk at the bank credited money to the wrong account by error (and those who reeive the money they go fast to withdraw them and disappear). If you are an incumbent on the scene you want to be where chaos and randomness is.
Also remember not to get fooled by the money indicator such as GDP , median wage etc... the important stuff such as housing, food, staples, utilities, vehicles etc they adjust based on the locality and thus are measured via PPP not absolute terms .
Also remember what Roman Emperor Augustus used to say :"Better to be #1 in a peripheric area of the Empire than #2 in Rome"
