You say it nonchalantly but I'd think twice if it wouldn't work anymore if I'd upgrade (at all). Buying new full versions of Office is not very cheap.

Nonsense. Github Enterprise at my last job (used there since 2012) was so much more refined and reliable than Gitlab EE is at my job now, which has much worse UI and no good flow at all. All Github clones (like Gogs, Gitea) lean on the Gith

The suburbs (literally "bacon belt", wealthy exurbs) are even more expensive (after rapidly getting cheaper after 40-50km out from the city, but 2 hour commutes one way are very hard to sell at German salaries). Plus there's
