    If you live in two countries and one is much cheaper than the other then you can work in the expensive one for higher pay and retire at 35 to 45 in the cheaper one.

        The secret about cheaper countries is they’re often very pleasant to live in if you’re willing to give up some comforts. I don’t have Uber eats but there’s a guy I know with a motorcycle I call and he picks me food from anywhere that’s around.

        Dunno who downvoted you, but it’s the truth, lol. Probably half of Balkan works in Central/Western Europe and plenty retire back in their home countries. The unfortunate situation is Balkan cost of living is inching closer and closer to Western Europe while QOL and wages either stagnate or actively worsen.

          Eh, I’m surprised it’s only one. They think I write this out of racism, but it’s from experience.
