          What’s the quality of life like on that salary in Germany? And is that in euro or USD? Honestly very curious.

            It’s EUR, so like 26k in Dollars or something like that. It’s pretty ok, tbh, I can pay rent and spend on stuff I want here and there. It’s pure speculation, but it’s probably a lot more comfortable than if I would live in the US. I am definitely not poor or anything, but most of the people I know definitely earn more.

                26k in the US is the poverty line. For a family of 4. At least as far as the federal government is concerned.

              It was tight (bad-tight, not 90s-tight) trying to live in an American city on 40k/year.
