    Nope. Not for a billion.
    I live a modest life (no car, no real estate, no luxury) and my most valuable possessions are a laptop, a bicycle and the firewood in my shed, each worth around 500€. But I’m living in a nice little house at the edge of a forest in cycling range to the city and my unionized job, which sustains me and my family, working 33 hours/week with 40 vacation days (plus 12 holidays and unlimited sick days).
    I have a support network, a non-profit I volunteer at, free healthcare, secure pension, disability insurance and enough saved up to deal with most emergencies. I know that my friends are actually friends, not freeloaders.

    Moving to a different country and receiving a load of money would literally destroy my life.
