> The main problem in my opinion regarding Germany is that it becomes really hard to accumulate wealth That's by design, isn't it? You're not really supposed to build up private wealth, you're supposed to fund social security systems and rely on them when in trouble. I remember some high-ranking politician (I believe SPD, but my memory is weak) said in regards to Germany's low personal wealth that in Germany your wealth is having a social system you can rely on (and thus you don't need to have personal wealth).
