And yet you still don't disprove his point. "More than needed in a year" doesn't deny a relatively inferior financial position.

- scrollaway 10y agoIs "working 1 month to be well off for the entire year" an inferior financial position to you? I have news for you: for nearly the entire rest of the world, it's not. Leave your bubble for the new year, will ya?
- loxs 10y agoI also am happy with my financial situation. That doesn't mean that what I said is not true. Salaries which a re "standard" in the US, like 100-150k USD are very hard to attain in Europe, working for European employers. They are certainly not "standard".
- scrollaway 10y agoNot only is that untrue in several places (Zurich, Stockholm, Paris and until recently London) but you simply can't look at it using just the raw numbers; you have to take perks, quality of life and how much you're actually saving up into account. Six figures is barely enough to keep up with living costs in some parts of SF, whereas in Greece it's 1-2 orders of magnitude lower depending on which part you live in.
