>Now compare your cousin’s yearly salary in Belgium with the average salary of a US employee doing the same job.

Take home is about the same after including health insurance and all the myriad taxes that US employees are subject to.

Now you compare the all-in cost of living across salary, taxes, housing, healthcare, and everything else.
Really depends on the type of job. Software? You are making bank in the US and partly because companies in the US can move quick because of their labor laws.
