I'd go for Europe, despite the risk of being born in some developing nation. Once I'm in Europe I can move to any country anyway.

Life is so good and comfortable in most of Europe.

What is it about the USA that causes you to select Europe?  Most people in the USA have comfortable life.  The GDP per capita is higher that most EU countries, so on average you are likely to be wealthier in the USA.  Or is it for other reasons?

 

 The social security is very good and reassuring in Europe, so for example when there was no income in my household (I come from a working class background), we got about $1000 dollars a month until we sorted things out. We also got an apartment for $300 a month from the local government. Now we have good jobs and had to return that through taxes, but it was nice having that and being able to move forward.

Do you mean 1,000 a week?  Or Euros? Because 1,300 dollars in benefits isn't really a lot, even in the context fo the US system.

 

That's 15,600 for a whole year.
