we are doing fine and my "poor" city looks nothing garbage like americwn cities where they own 150k a year. outside of energy and gasoline, living costs are quite cheap here. we have polackenlmmel and czech from the east driving here for cheaper food. scandinavians drive all the way down for our cheap alcohol. switzerland is passed that any germans are working there for better wages but they flood out supermarkets over the border extremely. i don't believe some white trash meth states in the usa have better living standards than any state in germany.
