> I doubt there is high net difference of money to live from In percentage? Probably not a big difference. In absolute numbers? OOoooh yeah. I can only speak from my personal experience, but my take home money after -all- expenses, including after feeding my retirement fund (basically what ends up in my savings and investment accounts unrelated to my retirement budget) is generally more than what a lot of people make as gross income in many other countries. There's no argument that the money comes at a high social inequality cost, but I wouldn't be able to get close to that anywhere else.
