My wage fluctuates a lot because I've been living on and from Bitcoin for the most part of the last 12 years. Even in Spain I mostly worked during the season (lots of hours) and just lived my quiet life off-season. But overall wags haven't seen much inflation adjustment since 2020 and my cost of living in Germany is about 3x more expensive than it was in Spain. For example, I'm now paying over €400 for a small apartment in Germany (was lucky actually getting one) compared to paying the same amount for a two story house in Spain.
