MODERATORS
German, here.
I failed my first college degree, and finally got one (a BSc in ecology) on the second attempt after 10 years of fucking around and procrastinating, with a grade equivalent to a C.
I've never had a full time job in my life, always worked between 24 and 32 hours a week, with 4-5 weeks of vacation per year and unlimited sick days.
I didn't inherit anything.
And I am now 200x richer than 40% of Americans, with free healthcare and a decent pension set up on top.
I realize I'm very privileged, but your country is just fucked.
We know.
Pension? In 2026? Wanna help me emigrate? Need a roommate? I'll bring snacks!
No, in 2051, hopefully.
And only the really wealthy have the means to leave the country.
Got 100k in savings?
