It still depends a bit on the equity, right? As I said, no chance with the salary alone and without inheritance if you have kids. As a couple and with decent equity, of course doable.
So I actually also consider it pretty impossible without any support from the parents.
We have quite a bit of equity thanks to free housing and a lot of active support, and we are still pretty much at the limit of what can be managed with 5k.
But there are also cheaper regions in Bavaria. In Hof, you can definitely get further with 5k than in the metropolitan areas of the big cities.
: I think we won’t agree regarding parental support.
I would only speculate that your parents themselves are not wealthy and that is why it understandably would be hard for you to accept support.
During studies, for example, it is even legally required that parents financially support their children, so the legislature obviously also sees it as financially reasonable. Why shouldn’t a child be allowed to accept the help that is due to them?
You possibly accepted Bafög and thus partly financed your studies at the state’s expense?
