What difference does it make in this case if they only pay a 1,600€ monthly installment for their luxury house? Today that would be at least 1,000€ more to finance something like that.

Again 1 1/3 years have passed. Short update. Apart from another child, basically not much has happened. I am enjoying myself a lot in the garden and am already diligently planning further garden projects (barbecue area, pergola, raised beds, etc.). We still have a car (300 euros per month). I spend my free time in the garden and over the last 24 months more than 110 different plants/perennials etc. have moved in (probably over 350 plants in total). We earn 135,000 euros per year with 1.5 salaries (although currently parental leave is upcoming (woman 18 months, man 2 months). That means averaged over 12 months it is about 6,950 euros + 510 euros child benefit. But I receive 14 salaries, so monthly it is less and in 2 months significantly more. Next year there will be an update with pergola, raised beds, etc. Salary will only increase between 3-5% per year. But that is also ok because it is more than enough for us and I would not want to miss 4 days of home office.

Totally exciting thread and many thanks for the updates! Really interesting to read how things continued. With all the ups and downs. Nice to read that it ended so well.

Only one thing scares me:350 different plants?! Incredible...
