Well, this situation probably only exists once nowadays – or you're an exception with that :D

With a "projected" 10,000€ full-time salary and 290,000€? That’s peanuts.. Honestly :D That’s not just relaxed, that’s nothing :D
Either you’re over 40, inherited a lot, saved a lot, or don’t have a house but "only" a condominium in the countryside?

But seriously... If the OP wants a relaxed situation, he either must never build/buy a house or can save for another 10 years (then kids will be there, the time to pay off the loan shortens due to age, and you might also want to "offer something" to the child right away or have the possibility to have everything you want (a home) BEFORE the child.

I can understand that well... I also like to take one thing after the other: living together, getting married, building a house, having a child – nowadays things usually go differently.

But basically, you can never start building a house too early – in my opinion, it only has advantages financially. What else should the OP wait for???

If I want to realize other wishes, there is exactly one possibility: earn more money. If you have €5,300, you have €5,300, no more and no less. Now you can ask yourself the question and make a priority list of what is more important to you. One person wants to manage and do as they please on their own property for 30 years (or until the end of their days) and invests a large part into their own real estate. Another lives more cheaply renting, invests the savings (compared to buying real estate) in stock funds / ETFs and then has a nice sum by retirement. Much more important is the initial question of the original poster: Does it work or not. Answer: Yes, it works if you are willing to restrict yourself (or just aren’t victims of consumption and don’t want to show off with a €700 BMW M3 or similar).

Exactly like that – that was nicely said :)

In the past, 300,000 DM (today €) were managed by a person with below-average income at 8% interest while at home the mother was employed full-time in the household without an additional income, with a child. You had to make sure to pay off the loan as quickly as possible, otherwise you would be eaten up by the interest.

That worked... due to lower living costs... Today people just don’t want to restrict themselves anymore. As you say, consume less and you can easily pay off the loan :)
Each to their own :)

No, no, that would be nice ;-) Here with us, we’re not talking about 50% part-time, more in the range of 70-80% for both. ;-) then the world looks different again. And no, we are under 40, but well saved up and also no house for 600K. That’s what I mean: setting priorities. Family time is important to us, so within our means, it’s basically the house discount store. ;-) Those who set their priorities differently just have to live with the fact that both might have to work a lot.

Part-time 80% omg. Should I start saying that I work full-time (40h) and my wife part-time (35h), because she simply works fewer weekly hours for a similar salary? :D :D :D :D

Okay, then you have saved well!

But yes: "no house for 600k" is difficult nowadays, believe me...
Sure, you can say: without a basement, only 120m², no frills etc... Personally, I’d say: If already, then do it properly! I’d rather save in other areas.

We shouldn’t fool ourselves... I like to show friends/colleagues where they can save, because they always claim that no money is left or something like that.

Cell phone contracts for 30€ monthly <--> for 7.99€
Phones included, new every year for 500€ <--> 150.00€ per phone - works for me 3-4 years

Netflix, Maxdome, Amazon Prime, Sky etc. for 70€ monthly <--> for 10.00€ just one of these

Clothes shopping monthly dozens of hundreds of euros for brand clothes etc. <--> I just shop at H&M and then I don’t need 20 pairs of pants, maybe 4 are enough?

Food for about 600€ per month <--> I shop for 250€ per month, maybe sometimes you can go to a discount store instead of always running to Edeka? Sometimes you want to watch your diet, only buy environmentally friendly products etc. but buy the worst crap at Edeka because you say: "At the discount store, it’s only cheap stuff"

Ordering food somewhere every week for over 10€ / dish <--> I treat myself only once every two weeks or maybe even less

Every morning buying a coffee and a sandwich somewhere <--> bring a snack from home!! That’s easily 30€ difference during the week

I could go on forever... savings potential of several hundred euros without any restriction of quality of life (in my opinion)...

But this is all OFFTOPIC - SORRY! :D
