  • The common opinion amongst parents is, they dont know how they’d raise children without WFH. Its not that you spend your workhours doing childcare but saving 2-3 hours a day in traffic is golden. Otherwise the kindergarden would see the child more than us. Now with bad economy we have RTO trend. Wages not keeping up with inflation, job insecurity, grandparents working themselves until they are not fit enough to help out. It makes no sense for the middle to get children. Never made sense financially but also doesnt make sense emotionally to just yeet your offspring into childcare.

    Plus the current chancellor/ruling parties cut parental support further while touting longer workdays. More children is simply NOT a goal of the german government.

    basically you are not allowed to just live somewhere and live off the land. every place is owned by somebody. Even if you own your own farm you pay property taxes and stuff.

    To escape the hamster wheel you just have to be rich and live off of interest. Or be a landlord.

    In all honesty, its prolly not possible for most of us. But if you have or want children, you can set them up to have a better life than you. Educate them financially, die before you spend more money than you make. Hope they dont spend it all on coke and iphones.
