Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

I see it the same way: the reference point for whether someone is in need of support is not how big the house is but how large the assets/income are. A limit of, for example, €60,000 annual income would be quite reasonable. Ultimately, it's about avoiding making the whole thing a farce. There will hardly be anyone with an income of €105,000 who then builds a 120 m² house. An exception might be the Prenzlberg families, who really can't afford any more. It is also about the acquisition of existing properties. And those are often larger.

Here is the following question: Why is it fairer to reduce the income limit to 60,000 euros? Higher income is very often also associated with more diligence or longer working hours. In our company group, there are 35-hour and 40-hour contracts. Let’s assume that the 35-hour contract brings 55,000 and the 40-hour contract accordingly 62,800 euros. Why wouldn’t the person with the 40-hour contract deserve support?

Now it makes sense.

Please let's stay factual. With 2 children, it concerns a taxable income of 105k€, that's 130k€ gross per year!!! We're talking about 6500€ net per month here. That should easily be enough to pay off a 150sqm place even without the Baukindergeld. No one here is starving!

I also planned without Baukindergeld. As I wrote earlier, it's about the principle. There is a Polish proverb: "One should not make asses out of mouths," meaning you should keep your promises.
