    “luxury”, sure. Spain is one of the worse countries for high tech, with low salaries and still pretty high costs.

    ‘money is good’ until it’s all gone in the blink of an eye and you have nearly nothing to show for it.

    WDYM? Unlike Europe, you can actually save a lot for the future.

    This all is just one big cope. High tech workers in the US have it better than us. Tough luck, but it is what it is.

      High costs? The highest cost place here is Barcelona and that still looks like a bargain compared to your average tech hub in America.

      Also yeah, I do mean a luxury lifestyle. As in, almost all the perks you’d expect from a holiday package as part of a daily lifestyle.

      Oh sweet summer child…

      I’m a high tech worker myself. Maybe we’re in different markets (I’m in cybersecurity) but it sounds like you’re being swindled.
