If you're pulling in 400k USD per year, it actually doesn't matter what the cost of living is. You tie up 40% of your income in a 1-2 million dollar house and still save $50-$100k a year while buying everything you want on a daily basis, then retire after 20 years and live like a king

Not possible if you have a family and 2 kids, and the best private schools in the area are charging $50-75k USD per kid per year. And the spouse insists on sending the kids to the best school and also wants a big house in a nice neighbourhood.
Unlikely you save anything significant on $400k under a relatively common scenario, and plus there's maybe only a few hundred locales on Earth with jobs that pay that much.
