Americans have money for traveling but not the time off.

Europeans have time for traveling but not money. A third of Europeans can’t even afford a one week holiday.

Quite the generalizations there. A third of Americans also "can’t even afford a one week holiday".

while there are a lot of people in the US who also can't afford to leave the continent, even if we assume what you say is true (it isn't), I'd still prefer having the time

That is a bold claim you are making here. Want to expand on that?
