Well. Not sure if this is the EU only but I am from the Netherlands and moved to Spain. Cost went down, quality of life is so much higher it now seems like a joke I ever lived in the Netherlands. And was born there. If quality of life is what you are working for the south of the EU is something to consider.

Disclaimer: I am very leftish ( I was very right when I was young; if you will not work fuck off ) by circumstance : by design of what you and me do, there will be no jobs like there are now. And people cannot die in the streets so we need to change things. I spend all my waking ours trying to do that and loving it.
