Still, the median US salary is $62k while EU is almost half that - $38k.
That being said, from my anecdotal experience US prices are noticabely higher than EU average, and EU actually does social welfare so the money probably gets you more bang for buck.
The only things more expensive in the EU that I know of are OTC meds and gas.
If you can't afford a monster pickup, just don't own one. Cars getting fatter isn't a US-exclusive thing, since Europeans also love their SUVs.
