15000€/year gross? In Portugal that's slightly above minimum wage. Might be okay in the middle of the countryside. There should be plenty of skilled programmers racing to live there, right?
The cost of living in cities is quite inflated by digital nomads and wealthy retirees and is starting to be unaffordable for Portuguese.
Edit: 15000 USD is 12800 EUR, that's a few cents an hour above minimum wage. And Poland costs already more than that BTW.

The cost of living is inflated by retail speculation and landlords, not whatever you think is happening.

Ok the 1/10th is a bit exaggerated. But it is far less than in the US.

150000$/year, you left a zero out.

It’s not per year, it’s per month.

WTF you're talking about? 15k PER MONTH! Not per year! Read before writing multiple paragraphs of total crazy talk (well, it sounds like crazy talk with the right context.)
