>>13253077Easy, our median wage is like 43k per year.
After taxes and social security you are left with 26.7k on average.
Rent is like 10€/m2, if we assume 50m2 for the average person + heating costs of 20% you pay 600€ for housing a month, that's 7.2k a year.
Lets say you pay 100€ a week for food that's 5.2k a year.
That leaves you with 14.3k to spend, but you have not paid your car, fuel, clothes, electricity and so on.
Let's assume your car and fuel (fuelprice 1.6€/l at the moment) cost you 5k a year, electricity 3.5k (we pay 2/3 of electricity costs directly to the state as taxes), clothes 500 that leaves you with astonishing 5,3k a year that you can either safe/invest or use for consumables like vacation (which most do for maybe 1,5k a year), furniture, repairs or gifts for christmas/birthdays.
So the average germanfag will at max have like 5k to invest and build a fortune on.
All below the median are fucked and the higher middle class is shrinking closer to the median.
Also in the most countries with higher wealth that wealth is often built on self owned housing which is an astonishing 46% for germans.
Meanwhile our politicians spend 50 (!!!!) percent of our BIP on stuff most people don't want like the EU, agrarsubventions, migrants and lefty NGOs.
So we just got fucked by our state and the EU.
