Report: Building a house as retirement provision? No way!

Trump is one of the very few US presidents who, halfway through his term, has not started a war. Instead, there is diplomatic détente in the North Korea conflict, restraint, and even partial withdrawal from hotspots in the Middle East, etc.

What exactly is wrong with this statement? There have been presidents with more cultivated demeanor, sure, but the man is basically only doing what he said before his election. There was no war declaration, I believe. Only an "economic war," and all other heads of state do that within their means as well. They just usually phrase it more euphemistically.

The old people probably said that 30-40 years ago as well. Of course, you can't plan something like that, but you don't have to shoot yourself in the foot and build 50km away from a highway on all sides *meant as an exaggerated example*

Why shouldn't you build 50km away from the nearest highways if you want to live there?

Exactly! Sometimes city dwellers are really from a completely different world, but they always think they are right.

Why shouldn't one build 50km away from the nearest highways if one wants to live there?

Sorry, I originally come from the deepest Ruhr area. Therefore, I actually don't understand your question.

ok. Well, my hometown is about 20km away from the nearest highway in one direction... in all other directions it is much further.

You don’t have to pay for everything. There is a calculation with self-retention etc. The money from the spouse is excluded. There is also an exempt asset.

However, it is wrong that the money from the spouse is excluded. It is taken into account precisely.
I also consider the doctors nearby negligible. I travel 800 km to the dentist because there is only one I let work on my teeth; all the others are rubbish, and I have tried about 15. My mother travels 1000 km one way to the hospital for cancer therapy because only this one hospital can do it (this therapy); elsewhere she would have died. She goes there every 3 months, paying out of her basic social security. There are many doctors, but only very few good ones. I would never go to the village doctor just because he is nearby, unless he is by chance the one in a thousand who can do it.
