A bachelor suit in the worst area of town where I live is 750-900 $. Food costs will be different for us all, and medical. We really can't compare by amount of money alone.

And that's not even taking into consideration the currency exchange rates. 1400 Euros is about $1900 USD, not $1400, which can make a big difference.
And it is amazing how much the cost of living can change depending on what part of a country you are in. Even things like climate can make a big difference - my heating costs alone are about $250 a month.
