$100k, damn, in central europe the median income is more like $30k and that's already a juicy salary. CoL does a lot.

A social safety net (like free/cheap healthcare) does a lot too. 100k USD is great until something catastrophic (e.g. cancer, car accident) happens. And don't get me started on unemployment support.
