You have to take into consideration that living in a European country is a lot different -- you're not going to get the same salary you would in San Francisco, for example. The quality of life is different, expenses are different, probably you don't need a car, apartments are cheaper, etc etc. Each country is unique. In Spain I don't have a really high salary (though it's above the average salary in Spain), but, compared to what? I live comfortably, all my personal needs are met -- so who cares?
