Do you think that Western Europe in the 2000-2007 was the best place to live ever?
It looked very comfy at least in internet

Spain is Southern Europe. Western Europe is the term used to refer to the Protestant countries + France.

Looking back, it's crazy how deluded people were back then. They were basically just riding on the inertia of their wealth without doing anything to prevent any of the shit that was about to befall them.

If I were able to go back in time I'd chose to live my age 14-26 in the years 1995-2007 in Europe
I'd enjoy the best era ever, most bearable technology change and internet, and be already a 30 yo boomer for the early 2010s probably with a secure job, instead of passing my 20s in this shitty era
William Scott
I mean it as a contrast to Eastern Europe. Maybe should've said in the European Union

34 y/o boomer here
France in 2000 still was the greatest place on earth...back then even Paris really felt like Paris..

France was an european icon in early 2000s.

Nah I'm talking about Europe
Joseph Bailey
yeah mate..
it was unironically a "City of love" back then, at least for me
I remember walking drunk with my gf whole night in Paris in some areas, which I wouldn't dare to enter in 2018
I feel so nostalgic right now...
I didn't care about politics because future looked so bright in early 2000s but since 2005 this country only went downhill

I think some people overlook how crazy the 2000-2007 period was in Spain, it was like our 20s. Construction workers easily earned 2000€/month, new Porsches everywhere (for one month it became the most sold brand in Spain if I remember correctly), cranes in every fucking direction, new highways, trains, more and more, banks giving mortgages and credit like fucking candy, our GDP per capita was set to surpass France by the end of the 2010s, one whole millon migrants per year, hell, my mother managed to earn 7000€/month as a doctor at the public hospital when she now makes less than half of that.
It was fucking crazy and completly irresponsible and impossible to sustain in a long term, yet it was fucking great.

Yes, it was an artificial growth caused by the construction bubble..(At least in Spain)
Xavier Cruz
You can earn more than 2000€ per month as a construction worker in the UK right now. The average local doctor (not in a hospital) probably earns 65,000€ in a year. More senior hospital doctors can easily earn 100,000€

It was some sort mythical utopia for us, thirdworlders. Now the first world was brazilified, huehue.
Landon Hughes
Maybe it was all artificially created by the banks just like here in the 80s. The 90s brought devastation after the crash, thousands of suicides from small/medium size business owners and ruined homes, corporate takeovers for pennies, selling of state assets to private hands and so on. Then the country was criminally pushed into the EU.
Jace Martinez
Not OP Argentina had an economic boom in the 90s and was the best place to live in Latam at that era
And such boom was also artificial, had disastrous consecuences, lot of people had their businesses ruined, etc. What a coincidence...
Daniel Miller
Yeah, I mean for the usual spanish salary it was crazy.

This.
Now most people feel kind of eerie about going to Paris.
WTF? It's supposed to be the pretties Euro capital
Brandon Miller
50s-70s would have been primo. 90s-2001 were second best. Once rap music and 9/11 happened it was all downhill from there.
Parker Taylor
If a place is good to live in for 7 years... It was never good to begin with.
But I think Easter Europe is pretty comfy.

What the FUCK am I doing in this country?

Has the west entered an irreversible societal and economic decline?
Dylan Lopez
The system is simply unsustainable and the premise of perpetual growth is fake.
