Why I left California for Europe (and saved $100,000)

Hi, I'm David 👋 I currently live in Amsterdam and moved to the Netherlands 2 years ago from California. I wanted to experience a different side of the world and realized getting a Masters could help me get there, but I didn't want to be in debt again. In this video, I want to share 4 reasons why I left California for Europe:

#1 Cost of education (cheaper—saved $100,000)
#2 Cost of living (more affordable)
#3 Work-life balance (different values)
#4 Travel (easier)

Note: My experiences come from living in San Francisco and Los Angeles (US) and the Netherlands (Europe).

Hope this helps. Take care and stay safe,
David
