Exactly, and after that I'll hang myself... It doesn't have to be meat every day but if I can only eat potatoes or eggs then I might as well give up.This is perfect. Today there are fried potatoes, tomorrow fried egg, the day after scrambled eggs, then mashed potatoes, then boiled egg, then omelette, and once again potato salad. Every day a new dish cooked myself. It doesn't get cheaper and healthier than this!
Especially since probably cheaper soft drinks are also cheaper than juice (rightly so)
Are you sure the number is correct? 920 euros subsidy seems very exaggerated to me. With 1000 euros rent, that would basically mean living for free.
I find the development interesting as well and think that, among other reasons, this is why most people nowadays want to study. After 3 years (Bachelor) you are an academic ... sounds good already. :)Putting the average craftsman in the corner of the "stupid ones" and portraying them as yelling fools at the regulars' table is pretty cool... hopefully you have treated your craftsmen on the construction site the same way...
Regarding the comments about potatoes and eggs: These were just two examples of products that are cheaper regionally. Of course, there are also other products that are cheaper or cost the same and from which delicious dishes can be prepared =)
That person seems to know what they’re talking about, where does that come from? :D and still your calculation doesn’t add up… never full-time with 3 kids 2-4-6… and practically rent-free… never.And I can’t follow your poorly thought-out example, which is basically just a cliché. And I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I was not born with a silver spoon. I moved out of my parents’ house right after finishing my training and have been responsible for my own livelihood ever since, enduring many hard months with barely any income, e.g., after losing my job and being sanctioned by the job center.
The single mother hairdresser with three children at home, let’s assume all three are under 6 years old, has the following household income:
Net salary from 1660 gross minimum wage = 1,318 euros + tax-free tips = ? + 3 x advance maintenance payments at 177 euros = 531 euros + 2 x child benefit at 219 euros = 438 euros + 1 x child benefit at 225 euros = 225 euros + housing allowance for 1,000 euros rent = 920 euros ----------- money available per month: 3,432 euros
There may also be further subsidies depending on the place of residence, such as the Bavarian daycare allowance, the Bavarian child benefit, daycare subsidies, etc. This would need to be checked on a case-by-case basis.
If I now deduct the rent again, there are still 2,432 euros net available per month. Please don’t be mad at me, but with that money I can cook something for my children to eat every day and feed them all. Sure, she also has other expenses besides food, but she has this money available monthly.
I give you three very concrete examples where buying regionally from the producer in my town is cheaper than in the supermarket:
Potatoes, oil, and eggs.
You have to deal with the products and not just blindly walk into Lidl but also look to the left and right, then you will notice such things. It annoys me that people always fall into this whiny chant and everything around them is evil. Playing the victim is more comfortable, but you should still work on your own mindset and, to refer to your example, fight for yourself and your children.
Does a hairdresser really only earn minimum wage?
Then every student with a part-time job in a simple temporary position earns just as much as a trained hairdresser?
