What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Germany? High-end manufacturing? Rigorous craftsmanship? Or those breathtaking castles and ancient legends? But today, we won't talk about that, we're going to delve into the real life of ordinary Germans and let you see a different side of the country.
Don't think that Germans are all rich and live a luxurious life. In reality, their financial situation may not be what you think. Walking the streets of Germany, you pull a random person and ask, their wallet may not be as good as your drum. Taxes, social insurance, these are like invisible mountains, overwhelming them. After receiving a salary every month and paying various expenses, the remaining money may only be enough to maintain a basic life.
When you think of Germans, you might think that they are all workaholics. But in fact, they also have their own lifestyles and attitudes. Job? Of course it's important, but the time after work, it's their own. Do you want to talk to them about work after hours? There are no doors! They're not the kind of people who sacrifice their entire lives for work.
In everyday life, Germans are actually quite "picky". Don't look at their income, but they are budget-conscious. When they go to the supermarket, they always shop around and choose the best value for money. As for a treat? Haha, then you think too much. It's rare to have you invited as a guest in Germany, let alone lavish hospitality.
When it comes to medical care, the medical system in Germany is indeed quite perfect, but not all medicines are free. Some expensive imported drugs and special drugs, the price is enough to make you staggered. So, don't look at their superficial scenery, in fact, there is a lot of bitterness behind them.
Overall, life in Germany is not as perfect as you might think. They also have stress and worries. But that's how life really is, isn't it? Through this article, I hope you will have a deeper understanding of Germany and the life of the Germans. At the same time, it also makes us understand that no matter what country you are in, life is not easy, so let's do it and cherish it!
