This is a debate that would go on forever. But I have to add my two cents. I also have three children between 11 and 20. My wife and I have struggled our whole lives. No vacations, no extras. Rent, energy, cars (2 because both have to commute ((Polo, i30))), kindergarten costs back then, food (vegetarian) - it's all expensive + has become a lot more to this day. There were months when you had to decide on the 20th whether to buy oil for the heating or go grocery shopping. And it's all getting worse and worse. As a geriatric nurse and civil servant in the civil service, there is simply nothing left. And there are many more who are much worse off. Then the injustice towards families in general is immense, and that's what nobody wants to see. All these alleged state benefits and aid are just a drop in the ocean. The split (rich/poor) in society is getting bigger and bigger and I don't want to turn against "the rich" or get upset. The fact is, they are increasing their money in the most perfect way and know how to exploit the system. They buy one property after another, rent them out at "normal" prices and fill their pockets more and more. All inner cities are degenerating into AirBnb hells, which unfortunately also belong to them. Just as an example. If you walk through the city and side streets with an open eye, you'll see all the little combination lock key-lockers of the AirBnbs. Then there's the food. The German's favorite illustrative currency is the kebab currency. A Dinki (double income no kid) couple pays 20 euros instead of 10 euros for two kebabs. I now pay 50 euros instead of 25. At the swimming pool I pay 75 euros instead of 30 euros for two entries. Train tickets, bus, clothes. It doesn't matter. Our earned euros are always divided by 5. No, it's not enough. (Why can't you press Enter for a paragraph here?) Anyway. I wish everyone all the luck in the world who starts a family and makes a contribution to the future of our society and our country. There is nothing better than raising children, watching them grow up, laughing and crying with them as they discover the world. But the price is high, damn high, if you don't belong to the top half.
