after tax pay of 75k a year isn't crazy unusual for software devs living in major cities. Living on 15k in these places is very doable, though some might consider it crazy depending on their habits.

After 6 years one could then live fairly well in a relatively poor country on 15k.

Less than half of that isn't crazy unusual everywhere else. Of course, anybody can just move there, and is qualified and lucky enough to find such a job.

Still doesn't change the OPs point, though; living on 15k/year is still a very convenient life.
