>so basically eastern but we're in the EU and are trying very hard to be a normal countryMost of my friends from high school are doing well, decent jobs, can afford to rent nice apartments and live relatively well in the expensive capital. A lot of them could even buy their own here
>with a bank loan for 20 years but still>less if they do so together with a waifu/husbandoBUT, it was a private high school with pretty high ass grading standards and they all went for non-shit degrees.
But I do have some friends from primary school who i see from time to time and they are doing just as fine despite having less-great jobs, they just don't live in the most expensive city in the country.
They could if they wanted to though, I have a friend with no degree who's working retail and he can afford to rent a 3 room + bathroom apartment in the capital as well with his gf, his budget is tight but not cripplingly so, he can afford some fun shit. He could even afford an education if he worked longer hours. So yeah, our economy is doing fine
However I don't know how long this will last as our last goverment decided it would be a great fucking idea to give free money to trailer trash to buy votes and introduce a goryllion social programs to finance their alcoholic, wife-beating, pant-shitting ways. Inflation is soaring and the way is to finance all this is taxing the middle class.
Me especially, since as logic dictates, I, the funny class alcoholic who dropped out of Uni three times before finally finishing one degree. Is doing the best out of all my friends and happens to be in the higher tax bracket. Which rewards all my effort to turn my life around by doubling my tax rate as to better finance the decent livelihood of those alcoholics who did not put in all the fucking effort I did.
