Try searching for disposable pallets on classifieds. They are even sometimes given away for free.

Typical stove owners, throwing everything flammable up the chimney. However, such waste incineration actions are prohibited according to the Federal Immission Control Act, so it is bad advice. Even in times of crisis, please do not trade the health of your neighbors for a few saved euros.

There is an English proverb that I find quite fitting: "Hard work gets you, where good luck can find you." At least for me, that has always been true so far... You can't do without luck, but without hard work (usually) not either.

Why should it be forbidden to burn dry untreated softwood? I had taken it for granted that it must be properly dried first. The BImSchV also says nothing to the contrary.

I never said that the result would be being able to afford a house.

An example of how it can go: About 30 years ago I got my technical high school diploma, in my class there was a girl who had to move out of her home because her father basically said: A woman doesn’t need to learn/study, she’ll be at the stove later anyway). SHE grabbed the opportunity with her technical high school diploma and civil engineering studies, that was certainly difficult. She could have chosen a different path here.
(for me: elementary school->grammar school->secondary school->vocational training->work->technical high school diploma->studies->self-employment)
Training and work were at an authority, by the way! I quit there on my own initiative to continue (see above).

See above, everything can always be explained, there is always a reason why someone couldn’t do something. THAT is what I mean by "weak". I also know the harsh reality from my own experience! Ultimately, many of my decisions are more than questionable from a financial perspective. But I don’t complain ;-) because clearly: everything was my voluntarily chosen path! During my studies I still thought: Oh, why does nobody tell me what to do. By now I’m glad no one tells me anymore ;-)

Yes, that can happen. But unfortunately, there are other realities as well. The girl in your example was already older. Younger children can’t always do something like that. Look at "problem families" and see how many children there don’t achieve what they actually could. And that’s not because of diligence. And it also strongly depends on intelligence. Someone with an IQ of 70 or 80 will not become a professor (to put it very simply).

And it also depends heavily on intellect. Whoever has an IQ of 70 or 80 will not become a professor (to put it very simply).

Right, but most people with an IQ of 70-80 don’t write here on the forum and "complain" ;) :p :D :rolleyes:
I explicitly mentioned exceptions. However, the vast majority of the "complainers" are still doing quite well (in Germany).

how many children there cannot achieve what they actually could.

Here you exactly confirm what I mean. "Could"? Want to? Drive and motivation? That depends not only on intellect...

I mention it again. I am for social justice, better education and completely free access to it (which we don’t have), fairer pay, no corruption, no "redistribution from the bottom to the top," no drifting apart of social classes, etc.
But the reality is that everyone has to move their own ass. I don’t know anyone who earns well (very well) and didn’t still or at least for a very long time work for it (by that I mean at least 10-14 hour days, weekends, etc.). And yes, I do know a few people who have several million in assets. And also some who practically have nothing; most of them “don’t want to” (I know no exception among them).

Euro pallets are untreated from the production side - as long as they have not been on any overseas containers. Disposable pallets can be made from untreated wood, but a lot of stuff can also be mixed in. With used pallets, no one knows where they have been, what was transported, which lubricants or goods have leaked. Therefore, I would never consider a used pallet as untreated.
