Cost of living is lower?

600€/ month was enough to pay off my house loan. Leaves plenty of room to save money.

I literally save like 3-4/5ths, i do think that's more than average though.

Renting a place here would be 300-900€/month. I know someone who rents at 250€/month in the city with a decent house ( that's an edge case though)

Note: I'm paying off my loan early.

And there are places in the US where modest homes in good areas are $90-100k and will get you a similar payment even with less than 20% down. I'm not sure what your point is?
