EU is in a perpetual state of decline and it seems there are no solutions in sight that would change its path in the next decade.

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

I think that us europeans got spoiled too much in the last 20-30 years and are totally disconnected from the harsh reality of life outside our pretty little garden. Nothing satisfies us anymore, and social media plays a big part on making us think that the grass is always greener on the other side, it is not.

But if you want some more thrill in your life i suggest picking anywhere from the list of less developed countries by the UN, since they have the biggest potential by definition: https://unctad.org/topic/least-developed-countries/list
