Finland. Genuinely can’t say. I suppose that’s a good thing for everyone involved.
I have very different values than my parents. I know there was a time when things were very rough for them… which unfortunately was also the same time that was very rough for me. Overall I definitely went through more hardship than they did, for much longer. Very alone. But objectively I’m doing pretty fucking good now, despite being technically poor. My parents were middle class, but they did value money more. I value other things and I get to enjoy them. But my parents were pretty happy, though their health failed them too early I think. Trying to avoid the same fate but honestly not looking good on that front. We’ll see.

Would I swap places with my parents? No.
I feel like this was a very Finnish answer…
Interesting question, good job OP!
