When I was young, a million Deutschmarks was enough to set you up for life. Now I’m sitting on around 800k euros, renting an apartment, and working my 9-to-5 job. So if I ever actually reach a million euros, I guess that’ll be the new 100k. Back to square one, and all the influencers say, “Yeah, from now on it’ll be easier.”
@DonkeyInvestor You really notice it a lot these past few years! No matter what you're talking about—groceries, gas, electricity…—life is almost no fun anymore on a "normal" income 🙁
@Solitair As a civil servant, you can earn a very good living. Having many children helps, and living in a rural area provides decent purchasing power.
