Is 84k a bad salary? I like money, the more, the better, but I can live comfortably with that amount of money.

Imagine rent around 1000-1500 EUR, 42% taxes and inflation making basic food prices and energy go up 100-200% and you suddenly live paycheck to paycheck with no social life and no ability to own home. It's much better to live in e.g. Dubai/Romania (0% tax) or Poland (low tax) and work remotely for German companies as a consultant than to move to Germany.
