Are the figures circulating in this sub-Reddit what is really needed in EU?

M32, I live and work in Finland in a medium-sized city. From my net monthly salary of €3,100, I spend €600 on rent and bills and €600 on everything else. So total around 1200/month. I invest the remaining €1,900/month plus a few bonuses in global stocks. I currently have around €100,000 in my portfolio.
The question in the title arises from the fact that the figures I read in this group seem meaningless to me. Single people owning a home who don't consider themselves FIRE with €1 million or more.
Folks, we're in Europe (most of us in EU), not America. We have an excellent welfare system, (almost) free healthcare (almost) everywhere. Old-age pension.
I'm on €100,000 and to maintain my current expenses, I would need a maximum of €3-400,000 invested. If I were on €7-800,000 or more, as I read in many posts, I would have quit my job a long time ago. Let's stop basing our budget on US costs.

Taxes for the sale of private collection of cards on Tori

Hi, as from the title this year I have sold part of my personal card collection (some of One piece, some of Pokemon) for a total of 2500 euro in 10 transactions. For some of these cards I can prove the initial value (I have digital invoice), while for others I had them since I was a kid. What's the chance that Vero will charge me taxes on these sales? Does any of you have experience with this, in particular with Pokemon cards sale? All sales were done with ToriDiili, so they are recorded in the system
