Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No? Germany is 3x that amount:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage
That's only for full-time employees, I believe. I edited the comment to add the source I was looking at :)
Not only is that data from 2013, but it makes no sense. Why would you include people who don't make income (children, retirees, unemployed) in an income measurement?
It's like looking up safety statistics on cars and finding out their diluted with people who don't own cars, broken cars that don't run, etc. Only working cars that drive should be included.
Median and average are 2 completely different things my child
If you click on the link Grandpa, you will see the words "European countries by monthly median wage".
Did you read that section? Did you know that "average" is a colloquial word for a variety of maximum likelihood estimators? Are you trying to sound smart while putting in a minimum of effort?
So you found the 2400 in the list and you completely ignored that people here pay taxes and in the end its 1600 bucks a month?
So the German median? How is that triple?
So you finally read the link, didn't acknowledge that you were wrong, found the 2400 in the list, and didn't notice that it was net (after tax) in Euros?
Since I have to do everything for you, "gross, in local currency" is 3,672 EUR (3,913 USD). That's $47K per year, 3x $16K. You have to compare amounts before taxes, because you would pay taxes on the $16K too.
You dumbass.
If you had 400k invested you wouldn't pay taxes because the taxes would already be paid by your broker
