Well, its mostly your fault. Start demanding more, if you are locked into your current job and can't see yourself getting a raise, move on somewhere else. I was stuck with low European salaries in my first year as Developer. In my second year I quadruppled that salary by setting my lower limit 4x higher and moved to south-east Asia to lower my cost of living by half. My old-colleagues are still complaining about the high costs of living back home, and the low salaries as well. While they would actually be more senior and even more productive in the job I got after leaving them.
