It makes me sad that $20000 is my annual income and I'm a okay (I guess?) developer!

Where are you located? That seems like an insanely low salary.

Taiwan. The minimum wage here is about 24000 TWD ≒ 860 USD. I started at 31000 for 2 months, 36000 for 1 year, now 41000 for another half year. Quite a big company though.

Your advantage is cost of living then. You can create a SaaS and live off it much sooner than a SF person spending $100 a week on sourdough bread

Yeah, as long as one is not trying to purchase a real estate he can have a not bad life in Taiwan.
