Baukindergeld is negligent because no one knows if you will actually receive it.
Everything else belongs in a regular household budget. Banks use flat rates for expenses. Children are part of the household, so why shouldn't child benefit be included on the income side?
Which part of the total income is then used as desired is another story.
Because child benefit and also Baukindergeld will hardly be continuously available over the entire term, which is apparently 40! years here.
Of course, it can be included, but not by reputable advisors, and certainly not by the applicant themselves who have a serious interest in healthy financing. Every advisor should also express their own opinion and tips, shaped by training and personal experience.
This brings us to the problem of such long terms like 40, or as mentioned earlier, 60 years up to retirement age... since monthly income decreases upon retirement and expenses increase in other areas (healthcare). Until one realizes that one actually has completely different wishes, ideas, and requirements for the accommodation and surroundings than 40 years ago.
But well, a small part here in the forum might not understand that only equity prevents this vicious cycle.
