In these welfare states you are required to pay health insurance, 
pension insurance, social insurance which is 30% of your salary. 
Then, there is a difference between your salary what you 
negotiated and the money what your employer spend on your salary. 
He must pay additional 20% to 30% of your salary. Example: I get 
about 1400e/monthly, my employer pays about 2600e/monthly on my 
salary.
If you are sick, it's better to take home office than be paid 
from state.
This system, especially in Slovakia is designed for poor people 
not to fall down.


And still, it's better to have bigger salary, even if you are 
paying higher % as a taxes and stuff.

There you have small cars, small flats, smaller size of food for 
the same % of your salary as in the US. e.g. Dodge RAM cost the 
same price as big house in village 20 minutes from Brno or flat 
in the Brno.

I'm not focusing on material thing or something like that, but my 
dream is to travel through the world, sailing and work remotely 
(which is possible as a programmer) for a few years before I hit 
the age. I don't wanna be the one, who stayed at the same place 
for his entire life. Y'know, I'd like adventures.

I think I'm writing the same code as everyone else in the US, so 
why shouldn't I have the same salary?
