Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

You can deduct equipment and computer plus a flat rate of 1500 euros for expenses and you have the pleasure of being at home. That’s enough, have a nice day.

Ok, the statement already disqualifies you from this discussion.

Actually, politics only takes advantage of the shattered situation among the people. Instead of raising their voices together against the "voter deception," they first check whether they themselves fit into the pattern, only to then prefer to stir up trouble against their fellow citizens.

Imagine if every GDR citizen had at the time only protested against the piece of the wall in front of their own house. It's exactly the same way here in Germany right now.

Your statement about the advantages is unqualified. What advantage is there?

Well, two financial advantages come to mind immediately:

- no commute to work, therefore savings on fuel costs. With exclusively working from home, even one less car (purchase, maintenance)
- childcare costs at least partially eliminated

And your reason for working from home may be a special one. However, most employees welcome working from home for at least part of their working hours.

But the discussion has already drifted far from the Baukindergeld, so it should not be addressed here.

But that is a nice investor. He sells everything at book value and bears the additional costs himself. What a perfect world.

Why should the investor sell for 300k when the market now also yields 320k?

Mathematics is not your strong suit now? The price is completely irrelevant in the equation. I only used it as an example so that everyone can really imagine it.

Then the apartment just costs 320k and an investor pays 320k. An owner-occupier with two children also pays 320k but gets 24k back from the state.

In the end, the owner-occupier is definitely (!) much better off compared to the investor. That is a subsidy that makes sense. Municipal apartments for owner-occupiers.

A 150sqm palace in the countryside should preferably be taxed additionally right away. The thing will be worthless in 50 years because no one lives in the countryside anymore. Economic madness, new construction in regions with a shrinking population. And please don’t list the last three years where population numbers have risen everywhere due to refugees. It is about the fact that many regions of Germany structurally shrink, not only the countryside, by the way.

Envy wherever you look, large-scale redistribution... and the people partly cheer it on.....

Just to make sure I didn’t miss anything: It’s actually about wanting to take part in the very redistribution you fiercely demonize in the same breath? And now you’re outraged because it apparently doesn’t work out?

I offer a change of perspective:

---satire mode on---

As classic DINKs (Double Income No Kids), it really pisses us off that our hard-earned money is supposed to be distributed to all those people who think they have to reproduce for reasons of self-fulfillment.
We don’t accept any government money, not for kids, not for housing, simply for nothing – but we’re supposed to keep giving no matter what. For other people’s kids, obviously.
To hell with that! When we retire, almost only machines will produce the goods anyway; for my pension, I don’t need other people’s offspring at all. Besides, I’m securing my old age myself, funded by my own capital, self-earned.
But now all the greedy families come and suck me dry. Kindergartens, schools, and now child-building subsidies. Germany is just a society full of envy. They see the houses of us people who don’t have to spend money on children and now want the same. State-subsidized, naturally. We are a redistribution state. Always toward the families, away from the high performers like us.
Wasn’t it like this: Family is where usually the woman delivers less for a while, because she earns less? Salary = performance, that’s the truth after all.
Germany is just a tax-favored envy society. But these people even have time to fill pages and pages of forums. Go to work!

---satire mode off---

Sounds like nonsense?

It is. But that’s exactly how the whining from the other side sounds – we are the high performers, the others jealous, whine whine. If you achieve so much, build the shack yourself. Child-building subsidy is just a substitute for too little income – if you can’t manage without it, maybe you’re not high-performing enough. Or some jobs aren’t paid properly? Suddenly a whole different level.

A government with some sense wouldn’t have opened such a can of worms in the first place. Now things are steaming, happy birthday.

man, what nonsense. If you work from home, you don't take care of children. Ever worked from home? It's tougher because you have to deliver (German way of thinking).

Just the same, as a home office worker, you have a career setback.
