It's almost scary how true it is. We were planning to buy an apartment here with my wife in the future, but now thinking about just moving to a different country for a decent living. Sounds extreme (the hardest part is leaving all the friends and family behind), but we really want to live like normal human beings. Thanks to remote job for the opportunity.
