For me, as an Austrian who was responsible for enabling two stepchildren to attend private school for a while, the only important thing at that time was not to incur any debt.
Germans don't like going into debt.
Und ich habe auch keine Schulden gemacht.
Not sure how i found your channel but its interesting I did. I grew up in Cave Creek AZ and I moved out of the USA in my twenties. I can definitely relate to a lot of what you say about the state of the USA. Stay strong mate. 💪
Been working too long as a temp worker, here in Germany. I was happy to get a 20.000€ gross a year. Am I unhappy? 50/50 percent.
I was sometimes ashamed, working the job of a master mechanic for a minimum salary. But I had to pay for my (not very luxuious) living.
Tried to get hired directly from companies I worked for. It always failed. By hilarious reasons (right place: wrong time.).
Applied for a job at the Deutsche Bahn (we are searching for 22thousand workers!) before the pandemic. "Wir nehmen keine Quereinsteiger."
Today, they are on tv: "Komm' zu uns, auch wenn du Quereinsteiger bist!" Sorry, guys: Once rejected: YOU will never be asked by me, again!
Plus: I'm 63, by now. Have a nice life!
A head of department wanted to hire me as a master mechanic at MAN, years ago: "Keine Quereinsteiger mehr." (I had worked there for more than 1 1/2 year, showing my skills.)
And you, arrogant german companies, are whinig about not finding employees? Learn about the real life. I'm done with those.
I don't think the income tax in Germany is particularly high. Due to the tax allowances, you pay almost no taxes, especially in the low wage range, but you get a lot of money through child benefit or housing cost subsidies. Basically, you only pay income tax from an income of 2000 euros.
My gillfriend's daughter, for example, earns 2500 euros a month and doesn't have to pay taxes.
Yo, love your content. Did have a giggle at you saying how much more economical a Land Rover was.. those are considered gas guzzlers.. there are way cheaper options, maybe not with the big comfort of a Land Rover.. I drive a 2011 Peugeot 508, which is already considered as a pretty big saloon (when I first went to look at it at the place who sold it to me I was like: wow, that's a big car!).. and I don't even have a family, I just enjoy the luxury during my commute and having the extra weight/space in case of an accident (I'm one of those guys who worries about that and takes that into consideration).. I get a pretty good mileage on it (about 15km per liter), but even so there are way better options to save on gas and still have a safe and comfortable ride.. just may have to get used to something a bit smaller than you're used to :)
Short and honest advise: 100.000 € or more (of course), you’ll get 50% of that and you can live in OK circumstances
Tax percentage isn't the important part, what you get for the taxes you pay, is. "Free" (included) healthcare and education are crazy good benefits compared to the US. All kinds of insurance costs are also way way lower in Europe. Never having to stress about having an accident and going bankrupt is huge.
didn't get your videos for two weeks after that last unemployment video. youtube was like "yeah, we have determined this is not interesting for you anymore" lol
The raw salary is rather meaningless if you don't put it into perspective with the purchasing power parity (PPP). The disposable income normalized to the PPP is $62000 in the US vs $51600 in Germany. The US is a wealthier country, but it's not a hell of a difference. Another aspect is the GINI index, representing the wealth inequality in a country. 0 = total equality, 100=total inequality. The US has a GINI of 41, and Germany sits at 31. In other words, the disparity between the rich and poor is higher in the US.
Another important factor is social peace. An indicator is the GPI - the global peace index. Germany has a high score (1-5) of 1.45, whereas the US ranks poorly at 2.4 - similar to countries such as South Africa or Eritrea ... these are fun places (...). Anyway, you can always find the "right" statistics. It all depends on your personal circumstances whether a country is the right one for you. If you come from a wealthy country with good qualifications, you can migrate fairly easily. e.g. I migrated from Germany to Australia. Am I "happier" here? Generally speaking, yes, but it's not exceedingly "better". There is no perfect country, and the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Another expat channel did a two part video taking these things into account:

Part 2 cost analyses: ua-cam.com/video/gAC2TMNbQYs/v-deo.html
I hope it's okay to post link to alternate "reaction video source material". If not, I will happily delete them.
Sure, but even in Germany taxes rise the more you make. Every country in the world has a progressive way to milk taxes. The only fixed taxes are the VAT, which fall in two brackets Food and Energy. Food is normaly the lowest bracket, energy in the highest. Some even tax free: Books and printed stuff. It is impossible to even know what someone makes.
Books are 7% (low bracket VAT) same as food and such. Only thing without VAT I can recall is postage (stamps).
As to progressive income tax: low income still gets taxed more than it seems at first glace.The reason is that they will have to spend a larger part of their income on essential consumables (food rent, heating, car etc.) which means they pay more VAT (precentage-of-income, not absolutely).
I bet, 🤔 no, cant afford. But where I live in Sweden we must have the highest tax in the world. For a normal worker it's 35 %. 😢 Beat that if you can
Thank you.
-Not a small part of the gender pay gap can be explained with duration of employment and expierience. Women often stay several years at home with the children or only work part time because of that. So the gender ist not the factor. Collective agreements, which apply to a vast part of the employees, forbid gender based payments. This means the main issue is the question why women do most of the care work at home, thus sacrificing there job opporunities.
Hey Nate, nice to see you hanging on and making videos again.
I’m living in Cologne and am happy with my salary (though it is nearly double the average) as a Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience. I’m quite lucky that I have a well paying secure job - that’s not something one can take for granted.
This video on the same topic goes into some more details on the topic of salary in the US/Germany and compares that for single workers and families. You might will enjoy that one: ua-cam.com/video/DWJja2U7oCw/v-deo.htmlsi=Zn6jQ2gPG77oi_DS
There is also a part two comparing lower income jobs and higher income jobs the same way between the US and Germany.
I'm an automotive engineer and very happy with my salary (6:44 Stuttgart region pays well) but I would really like to know what my male coworkers with the same degree get 🤔
I would be interested to know that as well!
If you want to work in Germany, and you don't want to talk German, pls stay away!
where is the problem here ? there are lot of companies with english as it's official company language. and thats pretty common with companies that operate international. i have a lot of coworkers who don't speak our language (i am not german). not a problem: the whole company sticks to english. ofc people speak in my language casually, but with meetings, documentation and whatever: english is mandatory. you include people from all over the world: you get better people. bigger pool to fish from.
Tons of companies in Germany (and all over Europe) do support for outside Germany. Harder to find a German speaking something like Finnish than bringing a Finn to Germany to support Finnish customers either locally or remotely in Finland. I used to work in Ireland taking calls from Finland, something an Irish person could in no way do.
Heard locals being racist all the time too, not directly to me, but to other foreign workers when they heard something other than English being spoken. So people like can go suck on a fat one. There's tons of need for foreign employees, they're not taking your jobs cause you couldn't do said jobs anyways.
Dont forget: Germans dont like to be asked about how much money they make.
They will often tell you if you ask - but they consider asking as kind of rude.
Same goes for Northern Europe in general. It really shouldn't really be that taboo as companies kind of thrive on pay inequality and will absolutely pay a new hire doing the same thing, more than the person already employed. Seen that too many times.
