Bravo, bravo, bravo! I just loved these videos (part 1 and 2). You are honestly spot on, man. I am an American who left, and although I'm not a content creator, I'm sick of all the fake BS there. I'm sick of my mail box being full of junk and bills and crap we should never have to pay. I'm sick of people justifying why we are the way we are. I'm sick of being ripped off every day. I'm sick of the fucked up healthcare system that I paid and got nothing in return. And I am sick of this "cancel culture" I can go on and on and on! Serbia is very cool. I spent time in Belgrade and Novi Sad last summer. I really loved it, but this Biden war in Ukraine has priced me out of the real estate market. :(
Not everyone lives on credit, but the vast majority do, buying vehicles way larger and houses 3x as big as they need. I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment in Ottawa on $30K per year and STILL managed to save money. I never smoked, never drank alcohol, bought groceries at Wal-Mart and Dollarama, but would visit farmers' markets because what I bought there would keep for a month before spoiling. I used a 40 year old bicycle as my primary form of transportation. I can attest that people have no knowledge of money in Poland either, and many people here believe they should spend their money before the government takes it (but Poland has no wealth tax). Investment opportunities are far more limited in Europe, and offer lousy returns where they exist. I have been stuck holding cash for two years since I moved to Poland, with so many options closed to non-EU citizens.
Thats the feeling that i get when im in Serbia ! Feel more free happy with less ❤ in the Netherlands life is fast no time for nothing but you have everything and still feel shit depressed... 😮
All the Balkans are emphatically family people and agricultural peoples, and not so long ago a mass of people were needed to run the family estate (caring for cattle, harvesting, tilling the land, picking the harvest...), moba were often made with neighbors (a moba is when a neighbor helps you with some abundant work, so you help me when he needs it), it was only Josip Broz who forced the Balkans into factories... It is a tradition to work together because you are so much stronger, and the family is the core of your strength.. ..now that's changing, we're also caught up in Western madness, it's not easy to work and earn like that, people are looking for shortcuts...
As someone who lived and worked in the western Europe I have opinion on this. You are correct in almost everything, here in Serbia I would live and retire for sure and it's most beautiful country in the world for me at least but here we do have a problem and u recognized correctly and that's lack of opportunities, no possibility for building career, no possibility to make any savings at all, no possibility to pay your credit actually. So for me personally the best way is to invest some time to work hard in the west and then to return here and live beautifully to the rest of the life. This is just shortly as possible.
My barber this morning mentioned he knew a basketball player in his part of town, from the west, playing now in Serbia. That you? And yes, I would agree with you. Bringing money in seems easier. However I also feel like there is a lot of opportunity if you take on a more entrepreneurial spirit. Maybe we need to create a civilian business group
@@CanadaChrisSerb nah that's not me, I'm just basketball fan not a player and I'm RL Serbian. I just worked abroad. I just have balls to go anywhere, I'm not afraid of failure if that happens and I work a lot. Started from the hotel reception, washing cars, rent a car and I was in music industry as well so I worked a lot of different things, even as photographer. Oh well that's a solid idea but I already have planned my next two years, maybe after when I return to the Serbia? I go to work in one month.
@@rebellion-starwars I do not know how it is in western Europe but in Toronto for example you would not e able to save any significant money working low skilled jobs like the ones you describe. Low skilled jobs like that pay maybe 2200-2500 per month. Here the absolute cheapest rent you can find is between 1000-1200. That's for a 2mx3m room in someone's basement ad you will probably be sharing a bathroom and kitchen with 2 other people. You then have a 1000-1200 or so dollars to cover all your other expenses. So even living fairly spartan in Toronto you would not be able to save much, if anything. Pension in Canada is also a joke especially if you decide to move out of Canada after you retire, as a large portion of your Canadian pension is deducted if you retire outside of Canada. Moral of the story is if you work low skilled jobs your life will kind of suck regardless of what country you live in. In Serbia if you have a skilled trade or you have a university profession you can make pretty decent money for Serbian standards and have a pretty good career and quality of life. but its like that anywhere in the world....
@@stevet5785 I understand what you mean but I was saying about Europe and now when I'm experienced and I know the situation because where I go they don't have enough workers so they are literally fighting for the workers and they are providing you room and food in most of the jobs, surely it's not easy to work because you literally don't have single day off, you work 7 days non stop but I can save some money, that's actually not much maybe 25 hundreds up to 3 grands, sometimes if I get 8h shift and another job is close I go to work at another job for 4h and then I can save up to 4-5 grands per month and at the end of the year in December I get bonus and that's around 5 to 7 for both jobs and ofc no pension but I save from 20-35 thousands it depends. That's serious money in Serbia. Really it is. You literally can't make that kind of money. Now you can invest and open bakery here for that and trust me here with bakery you can't go wrong because everyone is eating there, everyone, that's in our culture and that's why I'm saying that I go out of the Serbia, work like a donkey without rest, saving every cent and I sleep in the room with only bed and fridge and small bathroom without kitchen and I share the house with another 15 people who work there as well. But I'm okay with that, I worked and I'll work for another few years for sure and then I'll invest in something in Serbia such as restaurant or something like that it doesn't matter and that will allow me to live normally to the rest of my life. Trust me I had my own company here when I was 25 and I had for 5 years. You literally cannot take your money of your company, only via salary and if you want to take the money you have to close your company, to liquidate and then you can collect. Laws here are really strange for business owners. At the time I employed my mom, dad, sister and grandmother and collected their salaries even though I had to pay taxes but if I put everything on my name I would pay much more because you are paying luxury taxes for salaries over 1200$ or something like that (at least it was like that 10 years ago, maybe something is changed today) and taxes are much greater if I give myself huge salary so at the end I had to liquidate my company to collect 25,000 €uros and I had to because my business was going bad because of the laws change, they introduced new taxes and my contracts was harmful after that change. Anyways my point is that here you simply don't have enough opportunities for development, you simply cannot even dream to make 10.000 per month, if you make 1500 per month you literally have huge salary and my brother for example is making 3000 and he's paid by the European Union to control implementation of the laws and he is living like a king, normal people cannot make that kind of money. Not in the drams. I don't know about the Canada but I know from my friends that immigrate into the US, they are making really good money because we actually have a really good school system and people who leave Serbia are usually really successful abroad. My sister is living abroad for 20 years now and she paid for the makeup artist school here in Serbia for example and now she is making 500-600€ for one makeup for wedding and in total she gets 1000 € for one day or work (because bride and her godfathers I don't know the word in English but she have 3 friends who also are part of the wedding and they do makeup as well) and she do at least 2 weddings per week sometimes 4-5-6 and she's making really good money. In Serbia that makeup costs maybe 100 euros maximum for all. That's the difference.

Canada from 1980s and Canada now, are not the same Canada. Canada 1980s is constantly on top 3 counreies to live and work. Canada today, isnt in top 20. You will find bunch bunch bunch of videos about, what the hell happends with Canada, why so many people living Canada... You will find simmilar videos for other western countries but number is 10 or 50 times less. Countries like New Zeland, Iceland maybe and some other western countries are stilll nice place to live and work there. Serbia is nice place to live, but is not so mutch nice place to work. Because of relatively low wages, earnings per person and per familly especially. Our favor in comparatin with Canada is point that serbian kids mostly stays to live in the parrents house. For example, 50% of germans doesnt have own living space, own house or apartment. Over 90% of Serbs has it. Why?. Because we live together with our mother, father, grandmother and grand father, our kids also. Sorry about my awful english writing, i am from Serbia. Serbia is famous amongst tourist as a country with big percentage of people who speaks English well or excellent, i am not one of them.
You hit the nail on the head. I always believed in a multi generational household. I build or buy my home, my children live with me. We live together and create a household economy. I believe in this. In Canada, I was living alone at 16, on credit, working 12 hour days st minimum wage until I was in my 20s. It's sad what Canada has done to families
You know, visiting a country as a tourist doesn't give you an insight into real life, you just skim the surface... I have been to Canada in 1990 for a month, and I have nice memories about it. But, that is just my "Polaroid", not a deep venture into Canadian essence... Our values actually come from the hardships, as generations needed to rely on our families for all kinds of support. That is why we build strong brick houses, as we want to provide for generations to come. Also Slavic traditions, coupled with Orthodox Christianity have a part in this... Actually comunism has slowed down degradation of our country, however strange it might sound. If we had banks loans and capitalistic thirst for "more and more" 70 years ago, we would look exactly the same today, as you describe Canada... However, we have been fed Western "values" for decades, so you can see this errosion of our traditional values as a result. And aim is to create consumer society of people in debt, uprooted and mentaly unstable, so that minority could control the heard, making sick ammounts of wealth in the process... So we are, in fact, under silent and peristent attack, with grimm prospect of "Americanisation" of our society, which is in fact already undergoing... You just need to look at our kids today, or at the owners of companies... Sad perspective, right?
You are a very bright and wise person. I agree with what you've said and can see the westernization happening around us in Europe. I don't know there is much way to defeat it. It comes with its good and bad. What I miss is family values and the ability for a man to feed a family respectively
@@CanadaChrisSerb 52 years of life in this challenging country shaped my views as they are today, coupled with career which led me to some 46 countries in my life time (not a final number)... If you want to see where you are exactly in space&time, sometimes you need to get our of your personal "coordinate system", and look at your person/work/country from a side, as a part of bigger coordinate system. Only then you can see good/bad sides, and decide on corrective measures, if needed. That is exactly why people from USA think world begins and ends in Washington D.C. I wish I could rent all the busses in Europe, and take all people from Serbia to Budapest or Vienna, for a day... I think that would be a first major step in fixing faults we have as a country/nation.
@@jasminaibojantodorovic566 Can I ask why a trip to Budapest and Vienna, what would we see there? Don't know about B but V being a capital, the largest city and all, is still very livable city, even for a family. Generally Yugos love Vienna. Nije problem ako ti je mrsko odgovoriti, no sikiriki i da, prvi komentar ti je 👍 Ja sam naturalizovani Kanadjanin, ne zivim vise tamo ali malkice on pretjeruje, iako ga potpuno shvatam i generalno se slazem sa njim ali i dalje blago pretjeruje. Zapad je u bananin jer nemaju vjere, crkva im je zakazala, manjkaju polaznu tacku kada je nesto dobro a kada je lose a liberalizam nema kapacitet da moralno usmjerava. Sto je danas blago neprihvacenu u drustvu, za 5 godina ce biti najnormalnija stvar. da ne duljim, vjerujem shavatas sta mislim. Poz
It's a nice video but I think you are wearing very thick rose colored glasses. A lot of the stuff you described about Canada I see in Serbia and to much a higher degree. Honestly, let me get the first thing out of the way and say that Serbians are 110% not financially smart. They take huge credit for money they don't have and spend it on lavish things, and I'd say that's much worse than Canada. My mother has put my father in financial slavery buying things from a store on a so called "crta" which means they can take now & pay later. They got divorced and my dad has repaid that but has maxed out his credit because we are extremely proud and therefore vain people. Family values here are kept strong because you literally need them to survive. Social connections in Serbia will make or break you, having a so called "veza" aka connection to speed up the process makes it a difference between suffering or having system work as it should.. and most time you turn to parents or cousins for help. You rely on them for your job and all the way down to medical emergencies. Make no mistake, if we had opportunity to dump our family members like Canadians do we would do it in a heartbeat. Children are spoiled as well and have taken on western values. Parents literally fuck themselves over financially so their child doesn't get bullied for not being as rich as their classmates. They're also very much into gangsters, curse from a young age & cause fights. I would compare them to London kids. PS: Yes, people buy stuff in cool European stores. Wanna know why? Because they give you best offers. Why should I support someone when they don't provide me the same level of respect + why would I support an obvious chain owner crime boss just because he happens to be from the same country?
Hey man you are revelation to me.... Who can tell why Serbia, not Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegowina, Hungary or Albania? Do you think are there westerners in those countres telling the same about that countries?
Dear Chris ...I am absolutely thrilled by your attitude and your value system...as well a way how You express yourself and A WONDERFUL PERSON AND A MAN YOU ARE !

Serbia is famous amongst tourist as a country with big percentage of people who speaks English well or excellent, i am not one of them.
You hit the nail on the head. I always believed in a multi generational household. I build or buy my home, my children live with me. We live together and create a household economy. I believe in this. In Canada, I was living alone at 16, on credit, working 12 hour days st minimum wage until I was in my 20s. It's sad what Canada has done to families
😮
You know, visiting a country as a tourist doesn't give you an insight into real life, you just skim the surface... I have been to Canada in 1990 for a month, and I have nice memories about it. But, that is just my "Polaroid", not a deep venture into Canadian essence...
Our values actually come from the hardships, as generations needed to rely on our families for all kinds of support. That is why we build strong brick houses, as we want to provide for generations to come. Also Slavic traditions, coupled with Orthodox Christianity have a part in this...
Actually comunism has slowed down degradation of our country, however strange it might sound.
If we had banks loans and capitalistic thirst for "more and more" 70 years ago, we would look exactly the same today, as you describe Canada...
However, we have been fed Western "values" for decades, so you can see this errosion of our traditional values as a result. And aim is to create consumer society of people in debt, uprooted and mentaly unstable, so that minority could control the heard, making sick ammounts of wealth in the process...
So we are, in fact, under silent and peristent attack, with grimm prospect of "Americanisation" of our society, which is in fact already undergoing... You just need to look at our kids today, or at the owners of companies...
Sad perspective, right?
You are a very bright and wise person. I agree with what you've said and can see the westernization happening around us in Europe. I don't know there is much way to defeat it. It comes with its good and bad. What I miss is family values and the ability for a man to feed a family respectively
@@CanadaChrisSerb 52 years of life in this challenging country shaped my views as they are today, coupled with career which led me to some 46 countries in my life time (not a final number)...
If you want to see where you are exactly in space&time, sometimes you need to get our of your personal "coordinate system", and look at your person/work/country from a side, as a part of bigger coordinate system.
Only then you can see good/bad sides, and decide on corrective measures, if needed.
That is exactly why people from USA think world begins and ends in Washington D.C.
I wish I could rent all the busses in Europe, and take all people from Serbia to Budapest or Vienna, for a day... I think that would be a first major step in fixing faults we have as a country/nation.
@@jasminaibojantodorovic566 Can I ask why a trip to Budapest and Vienna, what would we see there? Don't know about B but V being a capital, the largest city and all, is still very livable city, even for a family. Generally Yugos love Vienna.
Nije problem ako ti je mrsko odgovoriti, no sikiriki i da, prvi komentar ti je 👍
Ja sam naturalizovani Kanadjanin, ne zivim vise tamo ali malkice on pretjeruje, iako ga potpuno shvatam i generalno se slazem sa njim ali i dalje blago pretjeruje.
Zapad je u bananin jer nemaju vjere, crkva im je zakazala, manjkaju polaznu tacku kada je nesto dobro a kada je lose a liberalizam nema kapacitet da moralno usmjerava. Sto je danas blago neprihvacenu u drustvu, za 5 godina ce biti najnormalnija stvar. da ne duljim, vjerujem shavatas sta mislim. Poz
In Serbia everyone is equally poor but in Canada not everyone is equally rich!
It's a nice video but I think you are wearing very thick rose colored glasses. A lot of the stuff you described about Canada I see in Serbia and to much a higher degree.
Honestly, let me get the first thing out of the way and say that Serbians are 110% not financially smart. They take huge credit for money they don't have and spend it on lavish things, and I'd say that's much worse than Canada. My mother has put my father in financial slavery buying things from a store on a so called "crta" which means they can take now & pay later. They got divorced and my dad has repaid that but has maxed out his credit because we are extremely proud and therefore vain people.
Family values here are kept strong because you literally need them to survive. Social connections in Serbia will make or break you, having a so called "veza" aka connection to speed up the process makes it a difference between suffering or having system work as it should.. and most time you turn to parents or cousins for help. You rely on them for your job and all the way down to medical emergencies. Make no mistake, if we had opportunity to dump our family members like Canadians do we would do it in a heartbeat.
Children are spoiled as well and have taken on western values. Parents literally fuck themselves over financially so their child doesn't get bullied for not being as rich as their classmates. They're also very much into gangsters, curse from a young age & cause fights. I would compare them to London kids.
PS: Yes, people buy stuff in cool European stores. Wanna know why? Because they give you best offers. Why should I support someone when they don't provide me the same level of respect + why would I support an obvious chain owner crime boss just because he happens to be from the same country?
Hey man you are revelation to me.... Who can tell why Serbia, not Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegowina, Hungary or Albania? Do you think are there westerners in those countres telling the same about that countries?
like i said, that family gathering comes from our ancestors, sorry i know i am boring with my pagan shit xD
Our ancestors had it right
@@CanadaChrisSerb Wait till you learn more xD
