But then again, we get taxed to death here in Britain to pay for the welfare state (which I don't mind at all for the record), you wouldn't even see 40-50% of what you earn if you lived here.
Well, what's left for me to live on after taxes, payroll deductions, and support, is about 25% of my pay. It's enough. I live modestly by choice, and I don't want for much. I'm certainly no less happy now than when I had more money.
