Yep, understood. I don't know how much he was paid but his definition of not-affordable was not being able to afford more than a 1 bedroom apartment for him, his wife and baby as well as only being able to eat out once a month.
Of course, he knew what he was getting paid and it's not difficult these days to get a sense of cost of living for anywhere in world so he must have know what he was getting into.

I got back from Copenhagen recently and while food and drink are both insanely expensive, the rent was considerably less than where I live currently, but the salaries were relatively similar.
