Very well written, I was just from curiousity recently talking to recruiter and I need to accept 20% salary cut to work in smaller company where I could be more productive. I rather take money and Udacity courses when idle. But there is another point: $100k in Germany is a top limit for skilled engineers. There are some geniuses with patents, papers and fame, they still make <$150k. I imagine, skilled engineer could earn more and retire earlier in the US.
