Is that a bendy bus, or was it going really fast, or did it push itself back up? I would expect it to be at a larger angle.

I went running yesterday and it was a bit colder than expected. Today I have a slightly stuffy nose, scratchy throat and light coughing at times ... no fever so far but I am anxious as gently caress right now over something that is probably an ordinary cold. But this tiny man in the back to my head keeps nagging me "it could be the roni". So I will not leave the flat until the cold is fully gone, and since my GF has to do the same I will need to ask a friend to drop groceries at the door, if needed. But we have done our shopping for this week yesterday and are good until at least Monday, and then some if we use what we stocked up on in March. Man I feel like I am paranoid, yet I know this is the right thing to do.

My girlfriend was there when that happened. Re living cost: I just moved to Bergen and I pay 250 per month for a 40 m2 2 room apartment and another 250 for an 80m2 Garage/Werkstatt. Also

It was the old Wengy who unthinkingly leaned into his bougieness and amassed a watch collection; the new one is keenly aware of his precarity and just wants a decent job. Mind you, I haven’t actually spent 2k on an espresso machine (yet).

Naw, I'm also saving slightly over half my income in the stupid hope to find an affordable house/apartment one day, and I also have friends that just spend everything and then some and there are days where I envy them.

I’ve been saving quite a bit over the past couple of years, probably 30-40% of my Nettolohn, but I wonder if there’s a point. I’m never in a million years going to be able to afford real estate here, so I’m really just putting money aside for emergencies and retirement.

I wish I could save that much but I live in Munich and am neither a computer toucher nor an Unternehmensberater and rents here are disgusting. Buying property is completely unrealistic anyway.

Wir steigern das Bruttosozialprodukt.  I'm at 50%. I don't need much: a good workstation, a good bike, and good coffee. But I've come to the realisation that buying a quiet little house or apartment is never going to happen, so once in a while I spend big money: 500g olive mix at the olive stand, smoked salmon, or an espresso machine that is going to last at least two decades. That's the kind of decadence a middling job as a public employee allows for.

I decided long ago I would rather spend my money now while I can enjoy it than save it for later when I'm retired and frail tbh. Of course I have a rainy day fund and a private Rentenversicherung but I spend most of my money to go see friends in other countries and travel. And I can't tell you how many times I have thought to myself "man we are so lucky we got to do our trip to Japan last year before all this poo poo" Naturally, since traveling is off the table for now, I am saving more than usual, which is ok, Japan was a very expensive trip.

I don't think anyone itt is getting more than hartz 4 our of gesetzliche rente, so saving now is basically the only way to spend the last quarter of your life with some kind of dignity.

Little lifehack for all y'all: just be depressed and enjoy literally nothing. You'll end up spending money only on the bare necessities and nothing else, thus saving money.

As a student you always survive conferences off the freebies. And conference organizers who don't understand that and don't have coffee breaks or anything can gtfo  -- Right now is the first time in my life I regret not owning a car. Even with stuff opening up somewhat, I don't really feel like traveling a lot by bus/train just for freizeit is a good idea right now.

I spent two years completely without an internet connection at home and used my phone as a hotspot to get 1 mbit/s. It's serviceable and just enough for watching videos, but you can forget about downloading games and stuff. That's what going tho the office is for.

Honestly anything above 50 mbit download is perfectly fine for your basic internet needs of HD video around the clock on a few devices simultaneously. It's just bulk downloads like games that take some extra time (you'll sit a fee hours before playing but you don't have to schedule it overnight) Having Gigabit internet all for myself feels obscene to me thinking about the time when I had an LTE modem and we had to manage 60 gigabyte of data per month between 4 people.
