Haha. I like how modest you are.

If I work my whole life as a software developer, I'll make around that figure. Then you remove the 42% taxes I pay and the fact that I'll likely be a renter my whole life(because buying apartments here is too expensive).

Basically that's the same for everybody in Europe.

Fortunately, your healthcare costs will be far lower than in the US (estimated to be at least $100k-200k between retirement and death).
