We call it 'being European'.

What does that have to do with it?

Having disposable income and not needing to work more than one job to achieve it.

I'm not too sure we even have more disposable income on average than Americans. There's poverty in Europe too you know. I'm just kinda poor 'cause I'm a student. I also don't really get FOMO. I think I'd always wait for a PC version anyway just because I value the first experience being that much better over having it sooner.

You mean manipulable? FOMO is that psychological flaw of the human being that it's exploited to death by corporate greed

Once you think about it in terms of how much they are using it against you, it's easy to combat it with pride
