It doesn't work without equity - experience!

Huge... clearly more than average. Double... triple? No idea. So if you earn, say, 6000 or 10000 EUR a month, you can easily get financing over 400k 500k 600k EUR. Even without equity. But I ask: anyone who can’t save equity with such a high income is doing something wrong, right? Exception: civil servants with lifetime tenure and corresponding income.

With 220m2 you can put me in the status-obsessed drawer. The big car obviously also marks me as totally status-obsessed. An A6 is also purely a status symbol. Technically, the Audi compares to a Kia. The only difference is 4 rings. No difference in material and equipment. Last year we were in Japan. Also only for the status. Balcony life would have been just as nice and impressive. But Japan is better for the status.

Seriously: there it is again... the German envy debate. Can’t just let other people enjoy something, can we? Especially those who have earned it all themselves!

Except for Japan, I agree with you, no force on earth will get me to Asia anymore

No... the one with 30% equity doesn't have a 500k loan but 30% less.

Exactly such remarks are the problem, which is why your statements are also being discussed. You want to express your point of view and instrumentalize this statement in such a way that as much as possible of your achievements, your income, your living space, your travels, your equity, etc. come across. And then you wonder why it is being discussed and call it a envy debate. But it has nothing to do with that, most of the time it is just shaking one’s head that you have to boast about it like that. As if merely owning isn’t enough, you also have to show it and rub it in everyone’s face.

No offense intended, but I think you come across like that not only to me. And in my opinion, that is the main reason for statements like "Oh, you’re just jealous" (not that it was said here directly).
