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

And whoever can love can also hate

In which wars that were not purely civil wars was "hate" ever the trigger? Resources, geostrategy, spheres of influence, alliance cases, etc. But hate?

In the end, it’s always about who has the most say. In their village, their country, in the world. That is plain hunger for power. Externally, it’s then about human rights, democracy, freedom. That is the appropriate marketing.

By the way, only a minority of people are like that. But they have the power.

Strange, haydee, that he still exists everywhere. Never rely on reason with people. We think differently. And whoever can love can also hate, otherwise he couldn't love....

The cause of war is initially money/land/resources and not hate. Hate is the instrument to make people fight each other.

I still remember the stories from the war and also the fear before the reunification. The hiding place in the barn. Grandma had already made lists of what we needed, what was scarce back then. The garden area and the potato field were expanded, more piglets were raised, grandpa wanted cows again. If they don't agree, there will be war again and we will be the first.
It felt like the American brought more tanks to the border. Everyone who had to go to that barracks drove past the house.

That is enough for me personally.

who wants a war. Except Trump with his canceled contract because of China.. now they want to station troops in Poland... yeah. Thanks for that, it's almost around the corner. When it blows up, it will be too late anyway, then the not yet finished garden in the countryside won't help us anymore.

But I don't belong to the pessimists, otherwise we wouldn't have had a child. Still, it's not really nice.

On the topic: no idea how old we can get here in this house (aside from that, I would prefer to be by the sea, but not the Baltic, the North Sea). Medical care is still probably okay - but if you were used to a big city, it is terrible and takes getting used to. Half a year waiting time for a specialist if you don't have an emergency is normal here. If in Munich they said: come in 3 weeks, you just called the next doctor. We have 3 general practitioners in our district, 2 (?) in the next one and with luck, we got in. There is no pediatrician here at all, you have to drive to GT, it's 20 minutes which is still doable, I also had that in the city. However, you need a car here, not ideal when you are actually sick.

The medical care is probably just okay at the moment – if you’re used to a big city, however, it’s terrible and takes some getting used to. Half a year waiting time for a specialist, if you don’t have anything urgent, is normal here. When it meant in Munich: come in 3 weeks, you just called the next doctor.
In our neighborhood, we have 3 general practitioners, in the other one 2 (?) and with luck we managed to get in. There’s no pediatrician here at all, you drive to GT, that’s 20 minutes, which is still okay, I also had that in the city. But you need a car here, which isn’t great if you’re actually sick.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t mean it badly at all! I found your description of the situation with the doctors cute… you really heard the city person there. I come from the countryside and only lived in Marburg for a few years for my studies, which isn’t exactly a big city either. Getting an appointment with a specialist within 3 weeks when you don’t have anything acute is actually unrealistic… 3 months or more are more realistic. When I needed an obstetrician in Marburg at the beginning of my pregnancy, I called almost all available ones before anyone even accepted me as a new patient (the one I ended up with had just recently opened her practice and had accordingly even fewer patients than the rest). We also drive at least 20 minutes here for the pediatrician. The next usable hospital is about a 45-minute drive away (the two closer ones are absolutely not recommended) and when my husband needed a sick note shortly after our move, he actually couldn’t find a single general practitioner here who wanted to take him and ended up driving about an hour to his old general practitioner… unfortunately, that’s life in the countryside… but I still much prefer living in the countryside.

With us, it's no problem with the doctors. But we've been living here for so long, we all know each other from [Gilde], [Segelverein], from New Year's receptions and from balls, birthday parties, etc...
