Countries have different costs of living. It's like a different scale. X in some_european_country gives you a quality of life as if you made 4X in the US. But if you move back to the US that is lost since the scale doesn't apply anymore.
The American pursuit for the highest salary possible is blinding people to what actually means living well.

Meaning you can then retire in a low CoL place. But someone selling his cheaper house can't decide to retire in the Bay Area.
