Wtf happened? Even cars are expensive as f**k. Škoda used to be cars for a middle class in eastern Europe but now cost so much its prob for a middle class in Germany. F**k, gonna drive some shit cars from Balkan ffs.

In Germany we say

The people back then (our grandparents) didn't have big expenses like us. Things were still being repaired and not thrown away. There was only meat once a week and not $ 9 Starbucks coffee. No new iPhone every year. Most of the food was planted in their own garden. Children had 3 toys, a ball, a teddy bear and something else. Stop crying, start living in reality

People over 50 didn’t spend $3-5K on gaming computers plus another $500-1000 a year on games subscriptions. While I agree the cost of living has gone way up, there are also way more luxury items being purchased.

And then... car from Balkan...

Go for Opel. I don't like it but it's cheap

Sprich Deutsch du Dirnenspross!

Stop whining. Go to work.
