Kill yourself greedy pig. 32K in ITALY is more than enough for a high middle class living. Be thankful your not eating and shoveling slop in Siberia.

>They're alot higher than Europe

McMansions are more expensive but they're for the upper class, but low/middle class no way, Europe is more expensive.
