So I've heard. I've been told that the city I live in does in average 40 social housing assignments per year. They have over 400 applications on their table and the "Wohnberechtigungsschein" is now valid for one year. Then you need to renew it for €10 for another year.

I've also heard that some retirees are picking up mini jobs because they're like 50€ over medical cost coverage with their retirement so they "have to" work again. Meanwhile others get full medical coverage because they're refugees. I'm sorry but that's absolutely ridiculous.

The Ampel has completely destroyed the German social infrastructure.

Yeah, my MIL has to pay lots of taxes in her Widowspension now, too. She's like, there must be some mistake.

Nope.

We're moving in with her because she can't afford to keep up the house alone and we can't afford to keep up two houses. And then we invest in our own property instead of paying crazy rent. Base rent went up 20% in January.

Same thing everywhere in the EU. That's what you get for believing you still live in a democratic EU country while rules and laws for 27 countries are being made by an unelected commission.

So bad. I wish I hadn't have to come back to Germany because of family stuff and to be honest I cannot wait to leave again.

We can't leave. Especially, so long as she's here. We're resigned to staying and trying to make the best of it.

But sometimes I'm like, where's the exit on this mad house?

I know what you mean. Same here for the time being. Or, until Mum goes on her last journey.
