As an Immigrant living in Germany, I have to admit, that the taxes are pretty high. I pay alot on the one hand, but on the other hand, I witness the social benefits for me and my family. At the end, I am happy to be able to pay so much tax (especially as self-employed business man).
Well, if you have 42% of taxes then you prolly make over 100k in a year. If that's true then you most likely have enough to cover all costs without having to worry. And if you can work from home then you could move to a place nearby where rent prices are lower and save some more money. Only downside would be not having direct access to anything what such a big city can offer, but transportation should be good enough in the area to get to said city. Alternatively you could own a vehicle, but I'm not sure how the parking situation is there.
@@lifeofgaurz There are many reasons but the only one motivating me is that the people of netherland, finland etc. are the happiest humans on planet earth according to statistics for more than a decade. *THERE MUST BE SOMETHING* Something which makes them the happiest!
You mentioned the benefit of the social security here in Germany, that's one reason for higher taxes. You have to pay more, but if you ever get into trouble, there's that safety net financed by those taxes.
grey skies makes me frustrate in Europe. I am from Cyprus, we have sunshine everyday. In here, I am waiting sun for a week, will available in 2 weeks I hope!

Well, when I lived in Germany coming from the US, all I thought was "Public transportation? What is this? I like it!"
HAHA made me laugh
