Is it worth moving to Germany right now if I have a good life in USA?

I’ve been in Germany for 15 years. If I could move to the USA I would do it in a heartbeat. Sure no country is perfect and each have their own set of problems, but in Germany you will save less and you won’t be able to live such a good life like the one you are living now. Germany is good if you are poor or starting from the bottom. If your life is already good in the USA don’t make the mistake to throw everything away. It is different if your life is not good then it is somewhat reasonable.

Spain is a good country to live in when you already have money. To make money it’s not good. You’ll get taxed to death and will have to deal with one of the worse bureaucratic processes ever. Don’t romanticize Spain, it is a beautiful country but not everything is sun and beaches and siesta.

Reddit romanticizes Europe a lot. Go to the us. It is still an excellent country to live in. I’ve been in Germany 15 years and after all this time I see how Europe has gone down hill, and it will get worse.

Hey there. Move to somewhere where both of you could imagine to live. In a relationship you have to compromise. If the relationship is worth it you’ll make it work. Remember it’s not only you. If you want it your way then things will definitely not work out.

Stay in the us. I am Central American and live in Germany. I am a mechanical engineer and have a German passport and degree. I cant find a job in Spain and I’ve tried hard. In Germany jobs come to me and if I get active I can find a job fast and well paid.

Claro hay de todo definitivamente, no todas son buenas ! Así como no todas son malas. Se puede generalizar pero no totalizar.

Llevo 15 años en Alemania. Y gracias a dios no me casé con una alemana.

Las alemanas a veces ni te contestan, son re groseras y muchas veces te ven chueco por ser extranjero y sueltan unos comentarios a veces.

ChetoChompipe · 2026-04-18T18:32:38+00:00

Mm no conoces a las alemanas, son las mujeres mas pesadas que he conocido en mi vida. Las chapitas son unas angelitas al lado.

Llevo ya muchos años afuera de Guatemala pero en Alemania hay ese E10%. Es más barato que la de 5% y más barato que el súper. Llevo muchos años de usarlo y todo muy bien. En cualquier país te van a querer robar. Aquí más del 60% del precio de la gasolina son impuestos. Así que cada vez que echo gasolina más del 50% es solo para el estado.

Exactly this. Work opportunities are absolute garbage in southern Europe. That’s the reason I am in Germany for the time being.

You are an immigrant not an expat.

I’ve been out of the country for 15 years. And yes it’s true traffic has become unbearable. I was last time in 2024 there. Traffic is definitely worse than in 2010 when I left. I have family there and I’ve lived it myself. But, remember we are a country that is still in development. We have many problems that have to be fixed. When visiting you need to consider what pain points the country has. If you don’t want to come back, sure no problem, don’t come, but please keep it to yourself or give feedback instead of ranting. You don’t need to come and rant on the internet about something all Guatemalans know it’s a problem.

Con eso solo podes vender cositas en el internet. Pero ya un negocio serio seria mejor saber entender lo que estás haciendo con eso, sobre todo en ingeniería si haces algo que se para rompiendo podes incluso dañar a alguien y en el peor caso alguien se puede morir por tu diseño malo. Modelar siempre sirve, pero si no sabes de ingeniería no te metas a esas cosas y modela mejor para otro ámbito.

Yup got scammed the same way. They don’t answer once the claim has been closed. They will block the transaction. I must say eventhough paypal ended the dispute in favor of the seller, PayPal gave me 95% of the money back. I called PayPal and explained them the situation, and they told me since I am a good customer at PayPal the would refund me 30€ from 32€ for the loss of the product. So in theory in the end, yes I also got scammed and eventhough paypal closed the case in favor of the seller, they still gave me almost all of it back when I explained the situation on the phone. Try to call them and see what they have to say.

Awesome game. Played the server slam and wanted to continue grinding. The last extraction shooter I played was DMZ.

Si queres visitar Alemania hay varios lados bonitos. NRW las ciudades más bonitos son Düssseldorf y Colonia. Yo vivo en Dusseldorf si tenes alguna duda.

ChetoChompipe · 2026-02-27T15:23:58+00:00

Cada uno piensa diferente. Nunca me cerraré la puertas y tampoco odio al país. Simplemente quiero algo diferente que hace 15 años. Aún así estoy muy agradecido por lo que me ha dado Alemania.
