> Europeans who toot their "life is so good here, why do other people work so much?" horn are privileged enough to have a hand-me-down property bought/inherited from their (grand)parents

Most people never get any inheritance before their parents die; you're basically retired when it happens.

People with a decent job in Europe (such as engineering) have a pretty comfortable life without considering any inheritance, even if they're paid less and work less than American equivalents.

Europe is big. You shouldn’t generalize that easily. Most of well paying jobs still are located in expensive cities.
