How many Germans live like that?

Tight budget.

One can't easily buy a laptop or afford short-term trips or order expensive food.

You can't save a lot.

Approx. 1/5 to 1/4.

Actually, it doesn't matter as long as we don't belong to it.

I estimate 25% of the German population has just the bare minimum for life

In 2019, 1/6 of all households were at risk of poverty.

Do you live poor Because of your illnesses?

1/5 would be a bit of an exaggeration, right? You don't mean to say that we have a population poverty of 25% if 40% of the population can afford their own property.

According to the definition, I live in poverty, yes.

When 40% of the population can afford their own property.

Where did you get that?

Not everyone can pay for their hut and therefore simply live.

Is that why you are dissatisfied?

You live in the best country in the world but you can't develop optimally.

Your estimate is a little too high. I guess it's 10% to 15% and nothing more. Many can still afford a lot despite their low income.

No. I'm dissatisfied with the situation that it is so, but I'm not generally dissatisfied with it. There are still countless opportunities to develop.

Facts from the net.

Then give the source, I like to look at that too.

As you can see, my estimate was quite reasonable.

You just have to pay attention to your budget.

For some it is enough and for others it is not.

Very few can afford short-term trips or new laptops anyway.

And you don't always have to order expensive food…

1/6 is a lot less than 1/4! So you are far off the mark.

But you can't develop optimally.

You assume that a new laptop and fat food is what you want it to be.

But there are a lot of people who have real meaning in their life that has nothing to do with buying and consuming.

He's watched too much Spahn. 😁
