Yeah, taxes blow. How is it in Portugal? I always figured Europe had higher taxes...

(Oct 19 07, 13:58)we don't really figure a pay on a yearly basis. rule is to have 14 payments in a year:
12 full months + 2 months vacation+xmas bonus without lunch benefits.
My present tax is about 25%, but it varies accordingly to your household composition. So if your gross pay is, say, 1k you only have 750 to rule.
40% seems to much, given your housing fares are bigger. You must be paying too much military work ;)
honestly, I don't know. Countries have different realities.
e.g. housing+food+common expenses doesn't leave much for saving. I think groceries+fuel+books+etc are much cheaper in the US, so the ratio is positive.
