Just like it not your responsibility what your neighbour has, what your parents had, or what your children will have.

So, all that out of the way: what exactly is missing in your life - without looking around you. You talk about "making it big", in your other post. What's too small in your life? And how would something bigger make it better? A million in the bank? How would that make your life better? Would you eat more? Heat up your house to 69 °C just because you can? Buy a Bugatti? That will take you from point A to point B just like any other car, or a train.

You refuse to compare our insanely high standard of living to the rest of the world. Why do you seem to compare it to the situation of others in Germany? Why do you care?

Are you trying to defend our insane Income and wealth disparity, low social mobility?

I am fairly well educated, but I will never be able to afford a house, or even a livable apartment, not to mention providing for a family. The only way that happens is if the economy collapses or systematic changes are enforced. Why should I not complain about that?
