    This is very true. I have always dreamed to have a job like I have now, my wife and I make nearly 250k EUR together. Of course taxes take a large part of it, but what is left still doesn’t feel as much as I thought it would. We can live a comfortable life, but if we start thinking about buying a house or having children, the math gets difficult.

    It’s hard to complain about this, as I know the realities of most people are vastly different. The key thing is, I feel like we’ve been fed a lie, as we worked crazy hard and progressed well in our careers, yet we still can’t seem to reach the lifestyle that came easy to many a few decades ago (e.g. owning your own house with a garden).
