When have you last been to France? It's the exact opposite, cost of living is higher than in Germany. Almost anything is more expensive, including groceries. Not that it's a huge difference but just saying. I like France but moving there for the cost of living makes no sense when you come from Germany.
- Termitiono 4y agoThe land (only the land) costs in France half of what I would need to pay in Germany right now.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoWhy are people so fixated on the cost of groceries? The vast majority of a person's or family's expenses goes towards rent or mortgage. If France has cheaper real estate than Germany then you could be much better off there even if the cost of groceries is higher.
- trompetenaccoun 4y agoWhere are you getting a fixation on groceries from a comment that talks about "almost anything" being more expensive? Real estate is more expensive in France too, it's actually among the most expensive in Europe. Sure, if it were cheaper then less of your money would go towards your mortgage. And if wages in France were cheaper than in Germany upkeep and repairs would be cheaper. And if English were their national language, you'd not have to learn French. None of that is true of course but if it were we could rave about it on HN.
