In California, if you're making over a million dollars you're looking at 50.3% marginal income tax i believe, which is a lot more than the 35% cited by the parent as "expensive" and you're probably getting a lot less

I can say without hesitation, that that's a problem I'd like to have.

Besides housing, healthcare, and maybe barbers, everything is either cheaper, or costs the same as it is in most of Europe.

So you'd still keep 500K, right? I could live with such salary,even in SV

You're forgetting about the tax deduction for interest payments on your home, which you've front loaded so that you only pay off the principle after you've retired.
