Be careful which kind of this stuff you use - there’s one kind that is being heat treated which can cause severe damage to the lung (that “earth” is avery fine powder), and then there’s the untreated stuff that can even be used as a good additive.

Full time equivalent of about 2.500 EUR net per month (it’s more pre taxes, of course; I don’t mind paying taxes as that affords me living in a safe and functional country). As I work part-time I take home less than that number but still get by easily (time is much more valuable than money if you cross a certain relatively low threshold of income and don’t live a flashy lifestyle).

Thanks for the praise ;) Germany has its troubles and problems but continues to be a nice place to live.

I live in the middle of Hamburg, second biggest city of Germany, in a recently renovated apartment of roughly 40 sqm and pay round about 700 EUR (~ 770 USD) for that with all facilities including electric power, home insurance and internet. The housing market in this city is considered to be tough for this country.

If you “dare” to live in a “small” flat the price really should manageable. Social assistance is another cost factor but that’s an investment in your country and its people.

It’s too late! It’s too late!
