OMG guys, we missed you so much! ❤❤ Sorry for disappearing. So much has happened in these two weeks, mother-in-law visiting after years, tooth extraction, seasonal allergies again. But it's good to be back again because we love you all ❤❤
I m single person in germany and these days I spent 510 euro for rent. 47 for electricians. 30 for mobile phone. 49 for tram. About 250/280 for groceries....
There are rich restaurants, those Michelin star restaurants that cost around 600-800€. But there are not so many of them, most restaurants, even the popular and classy ones, are often very affordable. As a rich peoples shop perhaps delicatessens shops would be a bit more expensive than other, but otherwise. I am not rich but I would say that as a middle class you can actually go anywhere. Poor people tend to go to Aldi, Lidl and Penny, but the middle class are there too, are still well-filled shops. There is not really much difference in quality. I also prefer Lidl because they often have a variety of fish and you can buy fresh salmon. But it can sometimes be annoying if the fish still have scales. Often the sea breams still has its scales. In northern Germany we often eat mackerel and herring. They are pretty much in every store. A Germany ticket costs 49€ here now, with which you can now travel throughout all of Germany and I think also parts of Austria.
Still 49€, but they changed the name to "Deutschlandticket" so they can raise the price. You can't sell a 49 Euro ticket for 60€, or how much they want to charge for it... 😂
This video is a year old, so the prices will be higher now. A lot higher even. Germany does have restaurants that are for the rich, simply because people can't afford to go there, same here in the Netherlands. Zara here is an inexpensive brand, the quality isn't great and all the clothes are made in sweatshops with deplorable conditions. Same as if you'd buy online at Ali or Temu or Wish.
I'm from Germany. Over the course of the last month, the price for the cheapest toilet paper got up by 25 cents. Over the last year, a can of corn cost 35 cents more. Compared to the time before covid and Ukrainian War, many food and snack items almost doubled their prices. This is especially true for non branded products or supermarket own cheap brands. Every week the supermarkets advertise discounts, but often at the first day the shelves are sweeped empty. It reminds me of the supermarket scene in World War Z. Luxury items are never sold out, nobody buys them and they are eventually destroyed. It's worser than in the communistic DDR. Germany is a merchant's paradise and these greedy scammers destroy society and widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
I live in The Netherlands (next to Germany) and I am amazed by some things too. Like the unfurnished apartments having no kitchen. That's alien to me. House prices can be much higher here in The Netherlands too, think of up to 2000 euros per month for a small apartment at the edge of Amsterdam city center. Excluding what we call "service costs", like electricity and water bills, internet fees, city tax, etcetera. That can be anything up to 150 euros or more. In the far edges of the country, you can get a whole family home for less than 2000 euros per month. Buying a house is the same: a small 2-room apartment in Amsterdam will cost the same or more to buy than a villa somewhere in the edges of the country, far from big cities. Differences are that enormous. I am also amazed by grocery prices. In The Netherlands, prices are the same for every store branch of a regular supermarket. Prices are way higher here. Here goes with difference to Germany: 1 liter of milk: 1,19 (+0.40). Loaf of bread: 1,79 (+0.49). 10 eggs: 3.49 (+1.67 compared to 12 eggs in Germany). 400 grams of cheese (not 500): 4.18. 1kg of chicken breast: 11.11 (+3.79). Must I go on? Germany is cheap. Alcohol and especially cigarettes are really expensive here in NL, but that is on purpose to keep people from getting addicted. A pack of cigarettes is almost 12 euros (!) here, not 6.40. I visited Costa Rica earlier this year, and I was surprised (and actually quite shocked) about grocery prices and salaries there. Brazil is different, but not by much if you compare Europe. You are right that grocery prices are very very low in Europe, compared to average monthly salary. And I think that this applies to more countries in South America. I still do not understand how people in Costa Rica earning less than a quarter of what I earn per month, make ends meet financially each month while groceries are more expensive than I am used to at home!
The Video is not recent. Food prices have increased by ca. 25%. Liter Milk is now 1,05€ instead of 0,70€ and a Loaf of good Bread from a Bakery is 4 - 6 €.. not Supermarket Bread
@@rudigerk I realized after I typed my comment. Still, most groceries are still cheaper in Germany than The Netherlands. Milk is still 1.19 here. Discount stores Lidl and Aldi exist in NL too, but they are also marginally cheaper in Germany.
There are definitely restaurants 'for the rich' in Germany. Or at least restaurants that cater to the rich, by expecting a dress code and having more waiters than actual guests and such. But they are quite rare and probably less obvious in contrast to 'normal' restaurants, as restaurants in general are very posh in Germany. Way more people eat at 'take away bars' (like Biergärten/"beer gardens", Imbiss-Buden, etc.), where you order at a counter and bring it to a table yourself, or at pub-style places, so places that are more 'homely' than restaurants.
You are still able to live very good in Germany... A lot of ppl complain and i get that, but compared to most places around the world it is almost a disgrace to complain at all. Yes, things were better in the past, but they are still very good, if you are able to adapt! P.S.: In the video she mentioned a ticket for 49€ for the transportation in Germany for a month. We still have this ticket and it will still be at the end of the year. It will be a little bit more expensive in the future 69€ as far as i know, but that is still REALLY cheap! It includes, trams, busses, trains and metro (everything except planes)
@16:40 Olá from Holanda the Netherlands! Fan of your channel!. "Funny", but in fact shocking what Nathalia said about Zara and that it was considered a store for people who have money, while over here in The Netherlands AND the U.K. Zara isn't considered a luxury brand "just a clothes shop". Anyhow. Love you both, love your channel, keep up the good work! Boa saúde! Brazil 🟩🟨 Holanda 🟥⬜🟦
It all ties in together, with more equality comes more safety & less crime, cause people have what they need. Greed & corruption seems to be the root of it, in many countries with high inequality. With people in charge only looking out for themselves, rather than doing good by all citizens of the country. All the best from Denmark ❤
Renting an unfurnished apartment (without kitchen or bathroom facilities) is a deliberate procedure. It is assumed that with this approach the lessor must invest in the comfort of the apartment, and when he does so, he will stay in it for a long time. Often after a few years (5-6 years) the owners agree to resell such an apartment.
13:00 in 2024 we have the "Deutschlandtickt" (Germany ticket) for 49,00 €/month. We can travel with to normal regional trains and busses all around Germany. Only the long distance trains are not included.
Appartements in Germany have another hisroty like in other areas. In France in the old village and citycenters there are still many without a special kichen. Many germans used ro llive in a house for many decades. My parents and their siblings have their houses for 60 years now and not much have really changed only the citchen twice or so in that timespan. In the USA or other countries all 4 up ro 10 years a renovation must be done because the houses are not that stabile and well buildt. My father made almost all alone at the house until he was 70,since then my mother takes over and workers do it ,my parents are very old now (mother is 84,father is 92) and cant do anything.
4:35 The apartment will have a room destined as kitchen, but the landlord will generally not provide the furniture and appliances. Sometimes you can buy them from the last tenant, sometimes the landlord will offer to supply you with a mini kitchen (which is essentially a cupboard containing a sink, two heating plates, often a very small fridge and some storage space) for the transition period until you got your own kitchen. Germans like to have their own kitchen, with appliances and design chosen by them themselves, and there are specialized "Küchenstudios" (kitchen studios) in every town and separate kitchen sections in every furniture store. 5:55 originally those were easter eggs, but now they are sold the whole year around. They are dyed to show they are already hardboiled. 8:10 In 1960 Germans worked in average about 20 minutes for a (simple) loaf of bread, nowadays about 10 minutes (a good bread from a traditional bakery however would be rather 15 minutes). In 1950 10 eggs costed around 2 hours, in 1960 50 to 60 minutes of work, nowadays 7 to 8 minutes. In the 1960s most Germans had to work 2 and a half hours for a kilogramm of pork, now about half an hour (which is however a few minutes more than 2020). 10:00 There are some very expensive restaurants in Germany (including some "gourmet temples"), some "moderately" expensive restaurants (where you pay about 1.5 to 2 times as much as in most restaurants) and a big number of "normally priced" restaurants. There are not many "cheap" restaurants left, and they are not so cheap anymore. There is however a rising number of streetfood establishments. The Aldi, Lidl and Penny discounter markets have the reputation to be cheapert than other supermarkets, but market tests have shown that this is not true for most everyday products - after their competition had forced other chains also to lower some prices a bit. There are some luxury shopping centers, but no chains. 11:55 There is now also the option of a single monthly subscription valid for all local public transport (not for fast trains) in nearly all of Germany. The montly subscription price is currently 49 Euro, but will probably rise next year. 15:45 "Zara" is a "fast fashion" chain, producing cheap clothes of rather low quality (at least in terms of durability - they are generally not meant to be worn more than 6 to 8 times before discarded) in low-income countries.
The colored eggs are always boiled ready to eat and non colored eggs are always raw 😊. As a craftsmen i tend to buy those colored ready eggs for my protein intake during the day but now i buy the raw ones and boil them myself. It's way cheaper 😊
Não, minha querida. Os ovos coloridos não são ovos de chocolate!!!! São ovos coloridos cozidos. Essa coisa começou há alguns anos, para a Páscoa. Facilitando a criação de ovos pintados/coloridos. O pacote normal de tabaco de enrolar de 50 gramas na Holanda custa 25 euros / 151 reais. Na Alemanha, é menos da metade disso.
I really think you are nice, curious people and I love watching your reactions. You also put a lot of effort in translating your language to english, so I can understand your reaction! I don't know if I am wrong here - but especially the man here sometimes seems to "overreact" a bit with his facial expressions, please don't get me wrong. I would prefer if you would relax a bit, but maybe I am wrong. Nevertheless - nice reaction, thank you for your interest in Gemany!
It should be said that the video is not very accurate. For example, Dresden is not a “small city”, but is already one of the larger cities. Prices do vary between larger cities and smaller towns and you can sometimes live more cheaply in rural areas. But this is not always the case, as many people move out of the city and into the countryside, which drives up prices. Prices are also usually much higher in student cities, especially as a lot of international students are now coming to Germany and as a result the prices of apartments are getting higher and there is a shortage of living space! The food prices in her video are also largely incorrect! Just as an example, a liter of milk now costs between €1 and €1.40. Most food prices in Germany (and probably the rest of Europe) are now 10-40% higher than what she showed in her video!
Bin da anderer Meinung. Der Clip ist schon ganz gut. Die Preise unterscheiden sich auch regional. Du kannst das nicht auf den Cent unterbrechen. Es soll ja auch nur eine grobe Richtung aufzeigen. Das haut zum großen Teil schon hin.
Exakt. Dresden war ein schlecht gewähltes Beispiel. Der Grund für die (relativ) niedrigen Mietpreise ist natürlich die Lage in Ostdeutschland. Ostdeutsche Städte sind nun mal günstiger. Abgesehen davon sind der Großteil der Dresdner Wohngebäude Plattenbauten, die für die generell niedrigere Mietpreise verlangt werden
You can be pretty scrappy when cooking everything yourself since most basic foods are really cheap. I used to get by with just 100-150 for myself when I was a Student but Lifestyle creep got to me over the years... Also got more used to buying more expensive ingredients instead of planning cheaper meals. (like buying Bio for anything that comes from animals)
Social houses (rent) in the Netherlands always contain a kitchen. You have to take care of what will be on your floor though. Colored eggs are normal white eggs where the shell has been painted.
True, food in Germany is affordable. But we pay about 70% of our wages for housing and Energy (Heating and electricy). So you see, the common people get fckd everywhere in the world. Keep smiling and keep curious🙂
Depends on the City my dude. Most Cities and towns are not Berlin, Hamburg or munich. It's like 20-25 % for me, granted I live in one of the more affordable Cities. (480 for rent, water, heating and electricity on a 2100 net salary) But most are somewhere in between.
Germans tend to stay decades in their rented appartment. We don't want to live all those years with the applications our landlord deems appropriante and stylish. We rather get our own stuff (and sometimes take them with us went moving away or sell them to the next tenant).
i dont quite understand that "rich people store" concept. wont they let you in - or is everything too expensive? Zara is popular among low income females - e.g. students. there are much more expensive fashion stores. ...and finally - the video forgot to mention the "white brands". each supermarket has its own "brand" - products. in most supermarkets these brands are white. these brands are always the cheapest option - e.g. you can by "white brand nutella" for 1,50€ or "real nuttella" for 4€. these "white brands" are usually the same price among at all supermarkets - so a white brand spaghetti costs the same in a discounter as it does in a more upscale supermarkets, because the more expensive supermarkets dont want you to go to the discounter to get their "white brands" for products you dont really care about quality, because then you might buy everything you need at the discounter and not shop for the more expensive items at the more expensive supermarkets. so the rule of thumb is: buy "white brands" and you will get the cheapest option available anywhere... wether you are in a "rich people store" or at a "poor people store".
8:12 Well, that's not quite right. It depends on what job you have and how high your hourly wage is. For example, I earn 20 euros an hour as a forklift driver in a large food company. But not every forklift driver gets the same salary. I know other companies where you only get the minimum wage of 14 euros. It's true that you have to work less than an hour for a product, but if I make a normal purchase with at least 10 products, I'm easily at 40 to 80 euros. Depending on what I look for and how much of the product I buy.
€20/h as a forklift driver? Here in Spain engineers or doctors use to make €15/h and a forklift driver makes €18k/year (€9.37/h). Minimum wage is €1356/m (€8.25/h). That shows how low our salaries are, on average half of the german, or a third (1/3) of dutch/danish ones. But our costs of living are not half of Germany. Normally it's 85% of those up north, so our quality of life is much much worse.
Is it true that germans also call "rooms" to bathroom, kitchen, and living??. French call them "pieces" or "spaces". In most other countries, only bedrooms are counted that way.
@@BlackHoleSpain I am a "older" german (Mid 50-ties) I am used ro say Wohnzimmer (Living room) Schlafzimmer(Sleepingroom) Esszimmer(Dining room) Arbeitsraum(Büro/Working room mostly like a Bureau or so) Badezimmer (Bathroom) and the Restarea is the Flur or more Flure (Area/Room between the other rooms) und Abstellraum like in attics or cellar room).
@@Caddl123 I know different languages often translate to different concepts. When @Razer4.d said "5 rooms" I don't know if there were 5 "bedrooms" or he meant another thing. I haven't ever seen a home with 5 bedrooms, and obviously not for 900€ at all, even if it's 40 km away from downtown (cheaper homes)
Coloured eggs are an Easter tradition but nowadays are sold the whole year. The are boiled / cooked but you never know how long they are already kept in the grocery ...
What do you do if you don't like the Kitchen that comes with the apartment? Can you just rip it out and put good stuff in there? I mean, I get it that getting a Kitchen is an extra expense but pretty normal if you are used to it, and you can just take it with you if you are moving like any other furniture. Or sell it to the next tenant. There are also apartments with pre installed Kitchen available if you cant be bothered to buy your own.
@@behemothokun It is what it is. If you don't like it you won't rent it. If you own the apartment you'll do what ever you want. Our kitchens are built such way that you really can't move them to different apartment. If you remove a cabinet you'll find just plain concrete. No paint, no flooring. Everything is bolted and glued so tightly to something that you'll have to destroy the whole kitchen to remove it.
OMG guys, we missed you so much! ❤❤ Sorry for disappearing.

Zara for the People Who have money 🤔. Waaattt
Social houses (rent) in the Netherlands always contain a kitchen.
You have to take care of what will be on your floor though.
Colored eggs are normal white eggs where the shell has been painted.
True, food in Germany is affordable. But we pay about 70% of our wages for housing and Energy (Heating and electricy). So you see, the common people get fckd everywhere in the world. Keep smiling and keep curious🙂
Depends on the City my dude. Most Cities and towns are not Berlin, Hamburg or munich. It's like 20-25 % for me, granted I live in one of the more affordable Cities. (480 for rent, water, heating and electricity on a 2100 net salary) But most are somewhere in between.

Wow. So strange for me! In Spain it's *ILLEGAL* to rent a home without stove, sinks, fridge and washing machine in the kitchen.
Germans tend to stay decades in their rented appartment. We don't want to live all those years with the applications our landlord deems appropriante and stylish. We rather get our own stuff (and sometimes take them with us went moving away or sell them to the next tenant).
No no no. Basic food is 60% of the salary. Hard.. In Finland, maybe like 10-20%
i dont quite understand that "rich people store" concept. wont they let you in - or is everything too expensive?
Zara is popular among low income females - e.g. students. there are much more expensive fashion stores.
...and finally - the video forgot to mention the "white brands". each supermarket has its own "brand" - products. in most supermarkets these brands are white. these brands are always the cheapest option - e.g. you can by "white brand nutella" for 1,50€ or "real nuttella" for 4€. these "white brands" are usually the same price among at all supermarkets - so a white brand spaghetti costs the same in a discounter as it does in a more upscale supermarkets, because the more expensive supermarkets dont want you to go to the discounter to get their "white brands" for products you dont really care about quality, because then you might buy everything you need at the discounter and not shop for the more expensive items at the more expensive supermarkets. so the rule of thumb is: buy "white brands" and you will get the cheapest option available anywhere... wether you are in a "rich people store" or at a "poor people store".
At the moment you may travel in Germany in close areas for 49 € in a month.
Welcome back, question? Have you checkout what its like to live in Portugal? ❤
8:12 Well, that's not quite right. It depends on what job you have and how high your hourly wage is. For example, I earn 20 euros an hour as a forklift driver in a large food company. But not every forklift driver gets the same salary. I know other companies where you only get the minimum wage of 14 euros. It's true that you have to work less than an hour for a product, but if I make a normal purchase with at least 10 products, I'm easily at 40 to 80 euros. Depending on what I look for and how much of the product I buy.
€20/h as a forklift driver? Here in Spain engineers or doctors use to make €15/h and a forklift driver makes €18k/year (€9.37/h).
Minimum wage is €1356/m (€8.25/h). That shows how low our salaries are, on average half of the german, or a third (1/3) of dutch/danish ones.
But our costs of living are not half of Germany. Normally it's 85% of those up north, so our quality of life is much much worse.
Well, the restaurants might not be rich on paper, but the owners of some sure are filthy rich due to their restaurants like my former bosses.
Oh no 1 person apartment ? 5 rooms and
Wc and Kitchen all inklusive 900€
Is it true that germans also call "rooms" to bathroom, kitchen, and living??. French call them "pieces" or "spaces".
In most other countries, only bedrooms are counted that way.

I am a "older" german (Mid 50-ties)
I am used ro say
Wohnzimmer (Living room)
Schlafzimmer(Sleepingroom)
Esszimmer(Dining room)
Arbeitsraum(Büro/Working room mostly like a Bureau or so)
Badezimmer (Bathroom)
and the Restarea is the Flur or more Flure (Area/Room between the other rooms) und Abstellraum like in attics or cellar room).
@@Caddl123 I know different languages often translate to different concepts. When @Razer4.d said "5 rooms" I don't know if there were 5 "bedrooms" or he meant another thing. I haven't ever seen a home with 5 bedrooms, and obviously not for 900€ at all, even if it's 40 km away from downtown (cheaper homes)
5 room living , sry for my eng. 5x living room Kitchen -Bad 2x and restrooms 3x is not living all inklusive 900€

Wow - Zara is considered for rich people? This is crazy, it is like just basic stuff with no real value to it here.

Coloured eggs are an Easter tradition but nowadays are sold the whole year. The are boiled / cooked but you never know how long they are already kept in the grocery ...
Of course you know. Just look at the print dates
👍👍👍
Bring Your own kitchen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes but True In some countries. Seems fkin odd to Finnish. Refrigirator, stove... Nno way
What do you do if you don't like the Kitchen that comes with the apartment? Can you just rip it out and put good stuff in there? I mean, I get it that getting a Kitchen is an extra expense but pretty normal if you are used to it, and you can just take it with you if you are moving like any other furniture. Or sell it to the next tenant. There are also apartments with pre installed Kitchen available if you cant be bothered to buy your own.
@@behemothokun It is what it is. If you don't like it you won't rent it. If you own the apartment you'll do what ever you want. Our kitchens are built such way that you really can't move them to different apartment. If you remove a cabinet you'll find just plain concrete. No paint, no flooring. Everything is bolted and glued so tightly to something that you'll have to destroy the whole kitchen to remove it.
absolute nonsense listening to foreign prices without the context of income
