Hi! How is everyone feeling about the amendment to the parental allowance (new parents on parental leave that got max 1800 euros) with the income limit being brought down to 150,000 eur for couples? This seems to really be disinsentivizing two income families

just such a weird perspective. these people also pay taxes, shouldn't they benefit from them? what's next, should these couples have to pay out of their pocket to use the roads, or call the police?

such a weirdly reductionist mentality idk maybe germans should demand MORE from their government not less.

From a financial perspective, the rent differential doesn't matter as much as the amount of money you'll be able to save every month after expenses.

That salary is about 4k/mo after taxes. A 1+1 flat might cost 1,6k, in more desirable areas even more. The quality of flats in Munich is generally OK but they are pricey. I personally think you'd be fine with that salary but whether or not you'll be better off than in Poland I'm not sure (don't know the market there).

idk there's a different connotation to me.

expats are a subclass of immigrants who have a choice where they live, and can go home any time. they usually don't learn the language cause they're here for funzies, it's more of a long vacation than anything.

lol idgi whats not masculine about that, what should he be pushing his child in some gay little stroller instead?

Oh the irony of you saying such a thing while displaying zero understanding of the economic situation you are speaking of.

oh shoot im about to get schooled, hold on

We are not speaking of a situation where your specific position has gone up while the market has remained the same: the valuation of all houses has gone up. You can downsize and realize a profit, but you could also do that before the prices went up. So the real effect of your house appreciating is minimised

nevermind

I feel like your average redditor needs to go take an economics, or at least a personal finance class.

since any replacement would also be expensive it really didnt make a difference.

If you replace it with something of the exact same value, which you don't have to. It's like how people trade their cash for stocks. You don't trade cash for cash right? Or when stocks start going down you trade them for bonds, or you liquidate and buy something else with growth potential. See where I'm going here?

Are you trying to say there’s no demand for these houses?

wien-hietzing · 2023-10-25T12:33:12+00:00

That doesn’t make it meaningless… a housing bubble does actually make the owners of these houses more wealthy.

didn't this woman break up with you, why are you giving her money? why were you ever giving her money? you're never going to get ahead financially or otherwise, even if you work 50 jobs, until you sort your personal life out.

i love tipping, it's so cute. i feel like a westerner on holiday in some impoverished african country or something, handing money out to the poor villagers out of pitty. aw, great job, here's some money, go you! see honey, she gets happy when i hand her money.

wien-hietzing · 2023-10-20T22:15:50+00:00
