He was probably making 90-140k with good benefits and a pension? His healthcare insurance deductible was probably still 5-10k lol
That money in USA before he cashes his pension is a pretty average life in other developed countries because of how shittier everything is here
It wouldn't take much money for Russia to beat that standard of living
