Disadvantages:
- Having to pay debts you don't owe, thanks to corrupt previous, (current, and future) politicians
- Banks being controlled by the EU; potential for capital controls, as well as other
economic shenanigans when voting outcome isn't to their liking
- High unemployment rate; difficult to find a job, unless you have the right ''connections''
- Illegal immigration, overwhelming parts of Athens and several Greek islands

Advantages:
- One of the most beautiful, breathtaking countries in the world
- Ideal climate; lots of sun, mild winters (except maybe in the mountains, where it can be colder)
- Has some the best quality fruits/vegetables, fish, olive oil, etc. and amazing cuisine
- Life is just ''better'' in Greece; i.e. in the event of a ''major'' economic collapse,
you'd be better off in Greece than in the US.
