There may be many reasons why someone doesn’t plan to have children. But with a smiley face after it? I’ve been seeing this attitude more often lately, don’t know the reasons either, but it’s really a sad development. For me, children are a blessing ❤️.
Everyone should live however they want, but then I would reconsider building a house, probably 99% of the future neighbors will have children. That’s going to be fun.
And in my opinion, your calculation is simply unrealistic. If at that age you haven’t built up any significant savings or have normal insurances like disability insurance, company pension, private retirement provision, etc., it simply can’t work. Not even if you started later because of studying.
We also come from simple backgrounds without support, are extremely frugal, and have much higher expenses than you. I almost only buy jackets second-hand or clothes at Aldi and Kik, new shoes, just that alone is many times more than 5 euros per month.
Groceries only on sale and then in stock. Just vacuum cleaner bags alone cost a lot, and you need twice as many in a house. Many living costs multiply because of a house. Just gardening supplies, fertilizer. Lots of stuff that really hits hard.
Vet bills last year over 4000 euros. Can happen. And no insurance covers that.
I just hope you don’t get burned by this.
I find the construction costs very low.
