What other drawbacks are there and where will you go to? Alimony is going to be a thing in most Western countries.
The weird low-tech bureaucracy (which culturally extends well into the business world and is related to things like high physical currency usage) is to me one of the worst parts of Germany. IMO the taxes are not bad because you get a lot of benefits from government spending living there, it’s the low wages that are the real problem.
- gstipi 3y agoThe usage of physical currency in Germany has dropped over the last three years. During the pandemic, paying by debit card was encouraged, and this has stuck around. I have used cash in a single instance in the last month (at a restaurant where the card reader was out of order). However, it turns out that most people still prefer cash, so I might be living in a bubble, see https://www.bundesbank.de/en/press/press-releases/payment-behaviour-in-germany-in-2021-894120 https://www.bundesbank.de/en/press/press-releases/payment-be...
