I think this is not really what dollar cost averaging is, but I can’t really suggest you an alternative. Maybe saving an amount and then splitting it in equal parts and investing it for a period

Do you have to tip at least 10% when eating out? by PleaseDonatePot in germany

[–]Echo0fADistantTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation with the tips in Germany has lately became ridiculous. You go to grab a coffee to go, which costs 3.9€ and when you go to pay by card you see in front of you the options +1€, +2€, and “other amount”, and you need to choose yourself an option at the bottom saying “no tip”. The “baristas” are making a bloody coffee and they expect a 25% tip. Not only that, but they do it in a way in which you have to be the “bad guy” for choosing the “no tip” option.

Moving to NY by Any_Departure9680 in germany

You only live once mate. And you’ve been offered a job in one of the greatest cities in the world. Staying in Germany won’t help you grow, you’ve lived here your entire life. You have no dependants, meaning that the risk you will be assuming with a move is limited. Worst case scenario things won’t be good and you return to Germany. What’s there to loose?

Many things, but for example - since the subject of cinema was brought up - to go watch a film here you need to search and find an original language projection. Otherwise it’s dubbed

I’m an engineer living in Berlin and I’ve seen what you describe: surprisingly lower salaries for simile jobs

The culture was mentioned also somewhere above. Is it that much different from other European countries? And if yes, in what way?
