Ah well tax in US is 10% and some states have theirown taxes while in Nordics like Sweden it depends on your slary and region so mine is about 32% which is still less than 69% of what you pay in Bosnia and Herzegovina if you are employed. 30% is base tax with additional things like healthcare, pension, insurance it goes to 69. In Sweden pension and some stuff are on employer. So not even that is much better down there execept for the fact that on paper you get free helth insurance in comparison to US. This is why it's hard to say I earned this and have people get attached. Someplace it's nothing and other places it's really good. That's why context matters. Even if you are equal to some person in SF in skills that person will get way more just for the fact that it's so expensive to live there and you are freelancing. I just wanted to point out that sometimes clients can't or won't pay SF prices or NY or whatever so they look for workers elsewhere and eve 10000 a month can be cheap for them.
Anyways thanks for the post and have fun.
