this is because you're comparing your fatass lifestyle of avocado toasts every evening to standard grocery store european habits. i'm a yuropoor and lived alright on $1k/mo in the US (inb4 "midwest", in the DC area). making $200k even in sanfran means you get to save >$100k/year, and financial independence is only a decade away from the moment you start

Most Americans are not programmers making 75k. Most poor people get rekt by healthcare costs, crime, shit food, shit transit.

Skilled people and upper middle class people have it good though. If I was a retail worker/poor I would choose west europe.
