    If you click on the link Grandpa, you will see the words “European countries by monthly median wage”.

    Did you read that section? Did you know that “average” is a colloquial word for a variety of maximum likelihood estimators? Are you trying to sound smart while putting in a minimum of effort?

      So you found the 2400 in the list and you completely ignored that people here pay taxes and in the end its 1600 bucks a month?
      So the German median? How is that triple?

        So you finally read the link, didn’t acknowledge that you were wrong, found the 2400 in the list, and didn’t notice that it was net (after tax) in Euros?

        Since I have to do everything for you, “gross, in local currency” is 3,672 EUR (3,913 USD). That’s $47K per year, 3x $16K. You have to compare amounts before taxes, because you would pay taxes on the $16K too.

        You dumbass.

          If you had 400k invested you wouldn’t pay taxes because the taxes would already be paid by your broker
