New evidence: Romanians feel better than Hungarians

Based on a survey, the average Hungarian is only satisfied with their financial conditions 5.5/10 and 6.5/10 with their life. Both pieces of data are much worse than the European average, and even Romanian citizens are more satisfied with their life.

European citizens ranked their satisfaction with their lives and their financial state on a 0-10 scale. 0 meant not satisfied at all while 10 stood for very satisfied. The EU average is 7.3, based on a new report of Eurostat, Penzcentrum reported.

This is 0.3 points higher than in 2013, but Europeans became more satisfied with their individual financial state, too, in the last 5 years, the report states. Regarding the latter factor, in 2018, the average European marked 6.5 points, which is 0.5 points higher than in 2013. Of course, the two numbers represent only the median, and

there are significant differences between countries.

Finns are the most satisfied with their lives and marked 8.1 on average on the scale in this regard. Western European countries are not far behind them with a number around 8. Meanwhile, in Hungary, this number is only 6.5, which is the fifth-worst result among other EU-member countries.
