When I worked in Vienna for €55k/pa my life was not really that comfortable.It was balancing on the verge of good enough or not saving anything every month. I did not get ANY, literally ANY feeling that I am getting enough for the taxes I paid on this income. The doctors were good enough, the transportation was good enough, the living condition were good enough BUT that's about it. Getting a higher salary was almost impossible but even if i did i would pay much higher taxes and would become too expensive for the company.
I moved to Seoul for $100k/pa and my life is MUCH better here all things considered.
Dont get fooled by socialism and always put your interests first.
