Am I getting crazy or Is It impossible to save money in this country?
I work in IT industry as software engineer. The company I work for is global in Frankfurt and I receive 60.000€ per year as total compensation. I am single and childless. I live in Darmstadt alone. I am 30 years old.
The monthly net amount I get is like 2900€. You can argue that they lowball me but It's okay because I will use Germany as stepping stone.
The problem is If I want to save money, I have to just stay at home, don't eat out, no new clothes, electronic devices etc. If I want to travel inside Europe (Amsterdam, London, Paris, Vienna, Brussels or Prag) even once in couple months, the total cost of that trip would be easily around 1000€. If I would eat out / take away three times in a week (as I live alone) , It will cost me slightly more than 350€ considering each meal would cost around 30€ on average (except doner or sausage) The fixed costs are around 1150€ per month including rent, grocery shopping, phone, internet, entertainment services etc The leftover budget is 40€ per day for anything you can imagine.
What is the point of living like this? I can't have fun, no travelling only going to work and coming back home. I am constantly under stress because my life is being wasted in this country and I can't save enough money to support my move.
I think the point is that even with a "good" salary, you earn to little for it to matter. Not enough to ever buy a house here, not enough to start a serious business or buy a decent car or anything. People who are jealous can say "just live smaller" of course, but I dunno - the life he describes isn't that luxurious. It really should be possible to raise a 4 person family on one salary, but it isnt.
That’s Germany for you, bud. They will take all your money from you. If you are single then you are differently taxed higher. Yes, it’s 60.000€ on paper but what you actually bring home is 34.800€ That‘s a lot of tax they are legally stealing from you. Yes, I would be pissed too as you have a right to be. What’s the point of going to school and studying for a degree for me to only make that amount. My advice would be to save your money and live frugally. Then leave before you become stuck here.
I had hope for someone in Berlin who was dating someone I thought was below him. Turns out he is just like berlin, wants to settle for some ugly chick with protruding teeth, fat, stupid, and makes bad music because it's more comfortable to be your lowest common denominator. Not to mention he got fat too. People really don't have an idea how much they let themselves go there, do they. Anyway I have a new boyfriend and he is rich
he also cleans under his nails, wears clean shirts, organizes his apartment and takes care of himself. He's also nice and with good manners and doesn't wear essentially rags because no, he did not spend all his money on alcohol. Anyway I hope you two fat alcoholics are happy together. Your gf looks totally nasty and discheveled and is a complete moron. But Berlin is all about destroying yourselves so there you go. Have fun
One rude person after another. I wasn’t in a good mood the other day… and it’s like they sense it and feed off it because they derive some pleasure… well Schadenfreude silly me. It was all ‘people‘ working in service who treated me with contempt. At supermarket the cashier threw the Pfand Bonn/receipts I handed to retrieve the pitiful amount of petty cash I expected to receive from storing Smelly old bottles in my home and lugging them to the supermarket the other day. But apparently you can only get the money back from the exact stores you took them back to… never mind it being a chain - it was Rewe and no it wasn’t like dropping it off in Edeka and trying to retrieve cash in Rewe. My logic is it’s a chain. Anyway one could explain reasonably and politely, this monster did not. He threw them back and shook his head and said nothing but gave a refusal face and frowned - Total contempt. I asked and he said in German ‘nothing to do with us’ … I said it’s Rewe and I had to be the one asking if it’s because it’s a different store … he was not willing to offer an explanation, but just enjoy watching me squirm. Then that eve we went to dinner in a German place … big mistake… when it came to paying the brute asked for the receipt but we didn’t realise it had fallen on the floor. He was so cross with us (the customers) “how do you expect to pay?” There was no humility or humour - just an incredulous look/ scowl and barking at us. Oh yes I forgot the lunch at a Lebanese place … immigrant service to foreigners also stunk. Btw we spoke German. They were even talking about us under their breath. We did nothing besides exist. But I’m a country where the customer is always wrong and people are always ‘in the way’ this was our crime.
I don’t care about Ukraine or russia . I don’t want anything to do with this countrys and I will never ever donate one cent for these ukraine refugees
How does Berlin compare to London,Paris, Amsterdam in tech scene?
I hope corona last 10 decades for Germans. So they have to wear masks all the time. Less ugliness in their bland faces
offtopic but muzzrat scum

Abolish religion… it’s a societal plague.
Whenever it comes to religion, double standards are strong.
For example, if these Koreans would complain about “loud noise, dirt, disturbing the peace at inappropriate hours” etc. if it was about building a club in a quiet residential area full of elderly, most will see how that is inappropriate…
Because it’s a mosque, it’s a whole debate and suddenly is acceptable.
No, it’s not.
There was one comment there, something like „Muslim are victims where in minority, when in majority… there’s no minority“ and the fact that they start slow with imposing their own way of live whenever they go…
Why all the rest we have to adjust and respect our environment, but they always need to change it to cater their needs?
Religion should be strictly personal and individual… not imposed in any way on anyone, or any society.
Why does everything seems to be formal and soulless in this country?
Russia did nothing wrong.
It’s true, they did nothing wrong. All the chaos the Americans, French, Brits, Saudi Arabia have caused. Not one Saudi, or western politician has been sent to The Hague. The Americans pushed Russia into this shit. What if Russia started arming Cuba, or Mexico? Oh forgot, when the Americans do it then whatever war crime is committed is justified. „In the name of Democracy.“ How easy are people‘s minds changed by the media racist propaganda. Anyone, who studies politics would know this a power struggle between Russia and NATO. How many military bases do Russia have around the world compared to you know who? And Ukraine are full of freaking racist.
People also seem to forget that before Russia's attack, Ukrainians had been terrorizing Russian minorities in eastern Ukraine for years, disrespecting the Minsk agreements.
F*cking LMAO at people donating money to the most corrupt country in Europe. Those oligarchs over there are surely looking forward to your hard-earned money coming their way.
Normal civilians living their peaceful lives are not to blame on either side…
Ukraine is a collateral victim, sadly, to a war between NATO and Russia.
And yes, we are being fed a lot of propaganda, on all sides. Best we can do is use our own thinking capacity and educate ourselves.
Not to be mean, but what the hell has happened to DW's Brent Goff? He looks so aged and worn. Does it have to do with him living in and being based in Berlin? (Something in the water?)
Huh? Don’t ever slip up and reveal your personal problems to Germans. Watch in real time how they immediately become uncomfortable. These people aren’t your friends, don’t fall for the trap of them making you feel comfortable around them.
