They also raised the retirement age past 70. It's a clear signal for wagies to know their place and not to get any ambition of financial independence.

I've got a little girl that just started school, which complicates things, but I'm really reconsidering my future in the country.

You'd be better even In France. I'm here in Spain watching this closely, as this would be over for me.

I'm not sure how confident I'd be, moving to a country that runs a constant 5% deficit. I work remotely, so my employer wouldn't care, but wouldn't cover the difference in employer contributions, which are substantial. That'd mean lowering my gross salary by something like 40k.

Spain is actually the place I'm considering, especially with the Beckham law and the fact that I speak the language.

I don't understand why people allow so easily the increase of retirement age. I don't see the millenials in old age receiving any better healthcare as boomers are receiving right now. Stereotypical good public healthcare exists even in EU maybe only in 5-6 countries, in the rest it's 100 EUR for 5 minutes of doctor's attention.

Its simply impossible for most people to go to university, only enter the job market by 25 retiring by 65 and then live 20 years on retirement when you have an increasingly aging population at the same time.

Questionable, the medical field is progressing. Also we have many things like smoking that are much less common in millennials and even less after that. That should lead to longer health.
