  Salaries are filthy high in the US, especially taking into account that
taxes and expenses in general are considerably lower than here.

  AFAIK the average MSc in Finland earns much less than that, has to pay
a lot more in taxes and living expenses are much higher.

  I'm probably biased because of living here, but $78K/year is what I call
"filthy rich".

  How much does the average plane flight from one city to another in the
US cost? I have no idea, but I'd bet it should be *at most* in the order
of $1000 (and I'm probably overestimating. That would mean one plane flight
almost every day of the year.
