Not sure about that "most people here". Maybe in SV? Not in Europe.

If I were to liquidate my whole existence, I'd probably end up at maybe 300k€? Maybe? And that is already rather high up here in Germany.

Alas, yes, salaries in Germany are pretty bad.

		It does - in truly german fashion - make one wonder how efficient that SV machine is. The ratio of getting shit done per dollar seems a bit low. Even with Germany continuing to be.. uh.. not exactly on top of its game.
