Cool @monnffffiiiiiii you don't need to buy anything as I am not selling anything.
It's not a bad start at all @Necromant - you get 3,4k per month of monopoly money. Then you pay rent, buy food, and utilities, and you are left with 2k. You have food and a warm bed, 2k to use, and your phone and laptop. That's a great starting point!
Unfortunately I have a car leasing (tend to drive beautiful cars …) and the rest, yes I save a bit. Currently working on an SAAS with a friend of mine besides my normal work. Maybe someday I can be free and decide every day what I want to do. But a SAAS could be a good starting-point for it with enough customers. And it fullfill 4/5 of the CENTS. Just the Controll, isn’t mine. I’m just the co-driver …
Germans and their cars
About buying trash: I am just writing a piece of advice for the other thread on how not to let stuff, trash, or junk hijack your life, how to keep your shit in order, and how to buy only the good quality stuff you need to buy.Yes ... But it is always fun to drive and we have an good connection to an unlimited Autobahn.Germans and their cars
I have been on a journey of getting rid of stuff and organizing for few years. My clothes are in impeccable order, but there is still around 30% too much stuff around the house. Just stupid when you realize, e.g., that you have top-notch skiing goggles with five lenses (which cost 500eur), but at the same time, you have ten cheap ones bought in the past 15 years that have cost the same. When you get this in order, the cumulative savings are huge, your life is in control, and you only enjoy good quality items in your daily activities.
And the car problem: I solved it myself to have an eighteen-year-old LandRover with all the bells and whistles. It consumes a lot of gas, but it is in great shape, and I have had it for over ten years. My approach is to buy a car that has already decreased in value but has low mileage, all the luxury equipment and is a classic. Perhaps I will change my car to a ten-year-old model when the current one turns twenty. But there are many ways to approach this one.
I drove before I got my new one, an old Opel Corsa C, 1.2 Cubic capacity, 60PS, @1999. Bought it for 1k with 30k km down, sold it 2021 for 600€ with still 90k km down. Was the time, where I get new Jobs with more Salery and I want to drive an Audi, so I bought on of Credit. A3, 2021, 150 PS, 5K km down for 35k€ (completly new one was 45k€). Its a small car with a lot of Power, does all I want & is a good daily & low Gas Need. (has a little electro-motor, so I need 4,5 - 5,5l per 100km / 0,522699 - 0,427663 miles per Galon)
