Excessive costs for the kitchen?!

seriously?
Who pays your pension? The Pole or the German?

Seriously? Why is Germany so rich? Certainly not because of domestic demand.

And as a follow-up question. Who am I paying the pension for now, Poles or Germans?

Man, man. Put on blinkers and walk around without looking right or left...

We chose almost every company for the house construction (direct contract) from the region... For the windows, it ended up being a Polish one because the price difference (26,000€ to 15,000€) was just too big. For the kitchen, we went to a studio farther away (from our current place of residence) because we were VERY satisfied with our last kitchen from them. In total, a colorful mixed selection of penny-pinchers, local companies, and those with a good reputation.

And that's what I mean. I pay about 450k€ to a regional general contractor for our house. People get worked up that the 15k€ might possibly go to Poland. Can't they see the proportionality here???

The discussion is quite absurd. Everyone should buy where they think it is right. There are arguments for and against everything.

Seriously? Why is Germany so rich? Definitely not because of domestic demand. And as a follow-up question. Who am I paying pension for now, Poles or Germans? Man, man. Wearing blinders and walking around without looking left or right...

Yes, seriously, since you ask so provocatively! Not everyone can work for companies in export champions like the automotive, pharmaceutical, aircraft, weapons industries, etc.! Radoslaw, from whom you bought the Czech heat pump because it is cheaper, will not drive a few hundred kilometers just because of a sensor replacement! There are over 2.5 million small businesses in Germany! That is a multiple of the employees employed by the large German corporations. So much for your question... I don’t understand your question about who you are paying pension for now...

Thank you, and if you want to get suggestions, you are considered unpatriotic. The world does not revolve around Germany, and Germany has become rich because of the global market.
