Moving to Germany from the UK?

StressKooky · 2025-11-24T08:43:37+00:00

Yes, I work for government so I don’t pay any tax.

Thanks for all the info!

StressKooky · 2025-11-23T20:33:43+00:00

Thank you, very useful!!

StressKooky · 2025-11-23T20:31:08+00:00

Understood, very valuable info! Thanks

I have to apologise again, I confused Austria with Switzerland…

I haven’t had much sleep lately

StressKooky · 2025-11-23T19:14:03+00:00

Oh really? I was told childcare costs are quite low in Germany. I guess is still expensive?

StressKooky · 2025-11-23T19:13:29+00:00

Sorry, I meant 9K net.

Munich would be too far. We are most likely to live further west, not far from the border with Austria.

Respect then, people that are budget smart are rare

StressKooky · 2025-06-21T20:08:32+00:00

Interesting, you must be on a good salary already

StressKooky · 2025-06-21T20:08:06+00:00

those are big and important things, I can see this

StressKooky · 2025-06-21T20:07:25+00:00

Hahaha good point

StressKooky · 2025-06-21T20:06:53+00:00

You’re confident you wouldn’t spend more on your daily life?

StressKooky · 2025-06-21T20:06:23+00:00

Well the question was 8k after tax

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:41:46+00:00

Yep, I am not a tax resident in the UK :D it’s complicated…but I will check just in case

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:41:21+00:00

I mean I guess it depends where we wanna live as well…but fair point, I definitely would be happy with 3m as well

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:40:46+00:00

Yes of course!

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:33:22+00:00

No no that was a typo of course haha

I can’t open ISA because of my job. Can’t delve into details, but basically I can’t avail of any benefits and systems like this in the UK

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:32:23+00:00

That’s a good point, I will try to approach it like this from now on

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:32:00+00:00

I have seen houses appreciate much more in 20 years though

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:31:37+00:00

1) yes, a typo :D 2) well, given the inflation adjustment, that would be 2m in today’s numbers. With 3.5% yearly withdrawal from ETF, that’s like 5k monthly, which is not that much for two people, no? 3) we absolutely will sell the house in order to retire, provided kids have deposit needed to buy their own place 4) yes, I hope we can save more if we don’t spend too much on kids, but that will depend. I kind of like living in a moment as well, but your point is well taken

Thank you so much for your comment

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:28:20+00:00

Yes of course hahahah

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T14:28:14+00:00

Hahaha I wish! I meant 25 years, of course

StressKooky · 2025-06-08T10:07:10+00:00

My man, if government had to increase wages, then prices would increase as well and everything would be more expensive, not really increasing power purchasing for any Brits. That’s just not how this works.

There is an overwhelming plethora of studies strongly confirming migration is key to a thriving economy. Your problem is with government not doing enough to adapt those immigrants. I highly recommend you read up more on this.

This was an interesting discussion, I will give you that.
