I had a good job. Made some money. Quit my job. Started entrepreneurship. I failed for 3 years. All my money was gone, literally. I found a business partner who did the commercial stuff, the stuff which took too much energy of me. I basically gave half of the company away for free to him. Now we earn money, have clients, are happy.

I was never fired. Fedora was my daily driver.

As a fellow dutch I've been looking at Romania and Hungary for the same goals. However, I stayed in the Netherlands and I am happy I did.
Many (not all) EU countries have more robust welfare systems. This includes healthcare, income support for those in need. Also accessible mental health and drug abuse treatment programs are common. Overall this prevents homelessness. If you are homeless there are several programs to get you back on track. This includes shelters, (temporary) housing, financial support, work, food, coaching, healthcare, priority for social housing. Families (with kids) are not common to be homeless. Often there are special programs to get them off the street asap. Still there are some differences between EU countries. In west Europe there are better systems in place.
