I am not American and when traveling the world ( before moving to us) I found a bunch of people specially from Europe and Australia that think the same. People travelling in southeast Asian. And they were definitely not rich. But most people in Europe have at least 4 weeks vacation and can take as two three weeks without problems as I did in my country and work to save money and travel. They also dont have this huge college loans debts and also a mindset and culture that doesn't pray only work as it is here. I lived in some places in US and also there isn't even places to party after you left college, which is normal in Europe. I lived in Canada last year, close to Montreal and it is completely different from US. I understand why Americans do marry early and why life is like this.
