My phone was on its way out so I got something with better translation features and support for my move to Germany. Was it expensive? Yes. Is it less expensive than it will be? Also yes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this causes scalpers to start hoarding goods again like they did during the pandemic. Artificial scarcity but still cheaper than the official price on Amazon or whatever.
Companies are pre-buying goods and laying off workers already, so why wouldn’t the citizenry?
Just so you know: Germany's government basically imploded yesterday. Has been a long time coming, really.
Also, if you move to any of the big cities (FFM, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin) you won't need to speak German.
I’m aware. Been following that as well. I still trust Germany more than I trust the USA. I unfortunately can’t really move to one of the larger cities as it’s pretty cost prohibitive until my wife could find a job. We are going to live in a less populated town for a while and ramp up culturally and see how everything goes. She speaks Spanish fluently, so we may end up in Spain after some time. It’s hard to say.
As a german citizen: Good luck, and welcome to germany! Hope you have a great time here. There are many very very beautiful small towns which don't costs much, but are usually still in the vicinity of larger cities. So you usually, if you plan correctly, you get the pro's of both. Beautiful small historic city and if wanted the buzz of a big city withing an hour's drive. Cheers!
