I guess it just depends on how you define standard of living. If you want to be surrounded by palm trees then Germany wouldn't be the right choice

I've been in Austria for the last 7 months and the country is really nice and the people are very warm. I think that the reason someone may say this is two fold.
1. People for the most part aren't breaking their backs trying to "make more money than you" here. Never do people ask me what do I do, as a question to guage my economic status.
2. If you travel or live in another country that you really do not speak the language I think that you miss out on the networking with people. My german is good enough to get us around the bars and something to eat, but if I had to be out with the rest of this country working I would have to start language classes while I flipped burgers in the back at MickeyD's.
