If you want equalized poverty, feel free to move to the EU. Say goodbye to owning a nice house, or building any kind of wealth - that's reserved for the old money class.

In the US, software is one of the few remaining ways to achieve the American dream. I came to this country to work hard and earn money.

Weird, I live in the USA make $180k yet still can’t own a house and building wealth is extremely hard.

EU has better societal benefits than the US (access to healthcare, education, mandated vacation time (often starting at 3-4 weeks).

The vast majority of people care about living a life without suffering. In the US this is only reserved for the rich it seems.

What part of the country and what is your take home? Monthly expenses? $180k can be a lot depending on your location.

Exceptions are HCOL tech hubs, but comp in those places is much higher.

I don't think we share the same definition of poverty.

I'm in the EU. You have no idea what you're talking about.
