I once got a contract offer from Belgium and checked your taxes. They are something like 55% for anything over 60k EUR per year? It means that, even if you get a high paying job, literally most of the money gets taken away. Seem rather hard to save significant amounts in such conditions.

Cost of living is lower? 600€/ month was enough to pay off my house loan. Leaves plenty of room to save money. I literally save like 3-4/5ths, i do think that's more than average though. Renting a place here would be 300-900€/month. I know someone who rents at 250€/month in the city with a decent house ( that's an edge case though) Note: I'm paying off my loan early.

  And there are places in the US where modest homes in good areas are $90-100k and will get you a similar payment even with less than 20% down. I'm not sure what your point is?
