26 yo german here. saved 1000-1200 a month for the past five or so years, invested the money in dividend stonks. just bought a small house for 53k six weeks ago. debt-free. started renting it out to tourists almost immediately. the purchase will amortize in the best case in less than 2 years and in the worst case in 6. if the tourist thing goes wrong, i can still resell the house for 80k or so. life is okay, no reasons to complain. the difference between me and you? i'm an arbeiter. you're a brger. probably even a mitbrger. i make things happen, you sit on your fat ass and complain.
