Consume or save?

You can really set your watch by when HilfeHilfe creates a new topic or post to show how much money he can easily spend. To make you feel much better now: We’re so broke after building the house that at most a cheeseburger from Mecces as a restaurant visit is possible, vacation is done on the sand terrace/ we’ll have money for paving work in a maximum of 5 years, now I ride my bike 30 km to work/ the car had to be pawned due to lack of money. Special repayment? We have postponed repayments during Corona so I can afford new clothes. I’ve already lost 40 kilos, the fridge is almost always empty. Typical case of overextended. We read your posts every day and get stomach aches from envy because you can spend so much money despite the loan and we are so poor. Luckily, I’m a positive person and always think “better off poor than an amputee.” I wish you lots of fun in the south and please keep us updated in 2021 on how much money you can spend despite financing. We simply need it, so we don’t forget in the midst of our own misery that there is also a better life. Maybe we’ll manage it too at 80 years old, when our loan is paid off.

how do you define life? Going on vacation?

how do you define life? Going on vacation?

Hello, while browsing the name caught my eye. We (4 people) are going to spend a bit of the summer in the south, have booked a vacation in October (on the weekend) & the ski hotel. So just casually spending 5k. I’m always conflicted whether one should live or save. We earn well, have hardly any installment for the loan and will also receive an inheritance sometime. and you guys???

Slowly, I feel with your posts that there is something to compensate for in your life... Or what exactly is supposed to be achieved with this line of questioning?

Despite Corona, there are also an insane amount of tight financing requests coming in where I wonder how people manage to balance it. Living and financing.
