"..the new american dream is to get the fu-ck out

I just read an article about someone who left the us for portugal and now works 20 hours a week, has healthcare, and actually enjoys their life. meanwhile here, people are grinding 50+ hours just to barely afford rent and groceries.

It’s crazy that leaving the country feels more realistic than “making it” here. the old american dream was about building a good life now it’s about finding a way out. We went from “work hard and succeed” to “work nonstop and still drown.” honestly, the new dream is just peace.."
